    Pinterest Whistleblower: ‘Normalization Of Censorship Within Big Tech Companies Is Un-American’


    Former Pinterest engineer Eric Cochran was fired for exposing the tech company’s bias against conservative and pro-life users on their platform. On Wednesday, Cochran joined “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to discuss definitive proof from behind the scenes that big tech is actively imposing pro-abortion views on what social media users can see and share.


    “The normalization of censorship within big tech companies right now is downright un-American,” he said. “I saw this as the fight for abortion. I saw a big tech company…saying behind closed doors that they believe that Live Action shouldn’t have a platform to speak.”


    Shortly after investigative reporters at Project Veritas reported what they discovered about blocklists and censorship at Pinterest, other tech companies began censoring Project Veritas. Both Twitter and YouTube pulled Project Veritas’s reporting on Pinterest from their sites.


    Now they are in full cover-up mode as they try to protect their pro-abortion stances,” he said. “Now with YouTube doing Pinterest’s bidding by removing the Project Veritas video, you’re seeing that they are going to do whatever it takes. They are 100 percent in to protect the abortion lobby.”.....snip~

    Hence the problem with the Leftness and Tech companies.

    It does, it just has the largest market share in what might be a pretty competitive market, all things considered.

    Try competing with the electric company or the water company and get back to me. Monopolies need regulation and it is the government who can do that and not anyone else. That's the correct answer.

    It has all the market share. Who else is there? I don't know anyone who uses anything else. Remember My Space?

    The sites at your link are not social sites. Most are just one dimensional, one purpose sites.

    Right... government regulated monopolies have worked out so well historically.

    Did you even read it?

    FB has 1.6b users monthly, WhatsApp has 1b users, the rest are kind of tightly spaced apart after that.

    Seems pretty competitive to me considering #2 and #3 combined have more market share than FB.

    Or are you just content to rely on your cognitive error because you know 3 social media users and they all use FB?

    Loaded question, carry on.

    Not one social media platform is and electric company nor a water company. Grow up.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Myspace continues to exist. What is your point? Do you know?

    Teddy Roosevelt Taught Us How To Break Up Monopolies Like YouTube

    June 17, 2019 By Jonah Gottschalk
    Remember Teddy Roosevelt when dealing with today’s Big Tech domination. We need to make a more competitive, less monopolistic environment. But can we?
