Mindmeld,
Since they know the government will take no action to guarantee freedom of speech, they are already beginning to change their policies and algorithms to ensure that Trump is not re-elected.

Mitt Romney was wrong. Russia isn't our greatest threat.

China is.

And it's because both our government and the social media companies are following in the same footsteps as the Chinese government. Control the media using technology. Control people's actions using surveillance, data mining, and profiling. Control public opinion using algorithms and censorship.

I'm amazed at how many people are giving approval to the kind of censorship that social media is practicing. Yes, it's legal, but no, it's not right.

Already the left is talking not in terms of how free speech can be guaranteed, but in terms of how to police speech.

"buT, buT, russiA" is the justification they use over and over again. They NEVER have to prove how Russia supposedly influenced the last election despite spending just a small percentage of the overall political spending that happened. They just say it and continue with their thought process without any consideration as to how they got to a place called censorship.

These are the same tactics that China uses to keep their citizens in line. And therefore they represent the greatest threat to our way of life.
