That the ACLU can’t issue a clear, definitive statement about Silicon Valley oligarchical monopolies radically expanding their control over political speech - see if you can figure out what this even means — speaks volumes not only about ACLU but how repressive this moment is:

The left wants a world where Google, Facebook, and Twitter get to decide if you have any public voice whatsoever.

The internet promised to be the opening of information but has instead become the avenue of the greatest control of information ever.

Thirty years ago the ACLU would have been apoplectic about just the idea of something like this. Today this fence-riding is their idea of a response because they don't want to piss off the wrong people.

What in the literal frick...

Their monopolies should have been broken up long ago but the free market is infallable...ask any conservative. The market has an answer.....there is no constitutional way to regulate any industry....just ask any conservative, not a RINO....

Maybe the ACLU can share with us all the homosexuals, blacks and pocs censored on social media.

What they said without saying it is

They are 100% okay with banning people "like Trump"

But if you even dare ban people "like blacks, browns and LBGTQ" we are coming for you

As in they will take zero action until the approved class is touched in any way

Well they’ve been cherry-picking the Bill of Rights for years.

1st amendment = establishment clause only
2nd amendment? Never heard of it.

They're attempting to remind everyone that just because the white man self-hates right now doesn't mean that the white man will continue to self-hate in the future, more or less.

I’ll know the shite is real when the Right stops protecting the assholes from Google, Twitter, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, etc from having to live with the very politics they fund. Until then it’s all just whining and bluster from the Right.

The free market isn’t the problem

It’s their protection from liability because they claim to be a platform.

Let them get a couple billion dollar class action lawsuits for defamation and try to defend the fact that they don’t regulate content. The free market would sort that out real quick.

I will never rely on the scumbags at ACLU for anything. They are leftists attorneys desperate for attention.

Basically: We don't like him and we understand why you did it, but just because we don't like it doesn't mean it is right. If it is this easy for you to censor the President of the US, people of color stand no chance.

They know as the ACLU they need to stand up because this is dangerous for EVERYONE, but they are gagging bc it involves Trump.
