Over the past week, due to a post from MSNBC, I’ve been drawn back to the days of the end of the 2020 election when all that I could hear from Republicans was about the “Twitter Files” that were going to expose Twitter for allegedly prioritizing Liberal posts, costing them the election. The Republican caucus went on a tirade, as if Democracy itself was at stake with the threat of a Biden presidency (ha.) We’ve just gotten off the heels of an election where X (formerly Twitter) was verifiably targeting right wing posts toward young men and other likely voters, and we haven’t heard anything about it. Republicans have shown their own hypocrisy with allowing targeting of political propaganda from the richest man in the world, who will likely be one of the most important people in the Trump II Era. Have we, as a society, accepted that our companies should be able to influence our political views at the whim of their (infuriatingly hypocritical, fake news spreading, and habitually lying) leaders. Every politician from the right seems to preach free speech when their idea of one of the founding ideals of our nation is censorship in the name of extra votes. It’s pathetic.
