We
live in a world where without access to social media you cease to exist
It
is high time for the people and Congress to rise up and the tyranny of Silicon Valley
resist
Like
the deceitful phrase “Work will make you free.”
“Algorithm”
is a euphemism to deny access for you and me
Not
only to those who advocate and incite violence and bodily harm
Acts
for all us should sound the sirens, raise the alarms
No,
far more dangerous to our democracy from social media searches involving
political ideas we are banned
Google
and Facebook want us to believe it’s only a formula not driven by bias or human
hands
Worse
than shadow banning is the termination of account for violating codes of
conduct
Which
are arbitrary, over reaching and impossible for even lawyers to deduct
The
thoughts that trigger suspense are thoughts that disagree with social media
giants’ views
If one airs a conservative thought as a Red
way more likely to be terminated than a liberal thought of a Blue
Combat
zone vet Tulsi Gabbard after first Blue debate had her Google Ad account closed
down
Putting
a kiss of death on her campaign in a field in which too many candidates are
found
She
has filed a law suit charging Google with election interference
So
similar to political hacks ripping down signs from lawns and fences
But
even worse since potential voters seeking you will you not find
Without
access to potential voters who become donors you will fall behind
Social
Media companies are like the utilities that must provide service to all
Unless
users are using profanity or urging violence Social Media cannot erect a wall
Congress
is now opening an investigation so we may be walking a thin tight rope
A
balance to all right and left or regulation that may lead down a slippery slope
