J6'ers ransacked the Capitol building and killed a cop, we all watched it unfold live on TV. I'd love to read more on the debanking thing, I can't find anything that materially supports the claim that lots of people are being debanked for their political views.
> the government colluding with major social media companies to censor American citizens on anything that changes the government narrative
This is exactly what is happening right now with broadcasters and with those speaking out about Kirk. Trump and Kimmel have feuded for years. Why do you see this situation as justified (i.e. "Speech has consequences"), but when it's social media, you see big bad government suppressing speech illegally?
It's like we just tolerate it when it's our party in charge, otherwise we ignore it. I have no idea where that path leads us, but I can't fathom it's good.
Why were they shouting that? Because Pence wouldn't recognize the "alternate electors" as legitimate. That is, they (at least some of them) were literally protesting that Pence wouldn't cooperate with a scheme to steal the election. And they were breaking into the building where Mike Pence was, and where the Electoral College vote was. That - and not merely breaking into the building and doing vandalism - is the fundamental issue with J6.
The "hunter biden laptop" story is a dead horse that keeps being revived by the right wing fearmonger media which you're clearly very entrenched in.
Even left-leaning AI can't hide the fact that you are horribly incorrect. I will let you do the research yourself.
"The "hunter biden laptop" story is a dead horse that keeps being revived by the right wing fearmonger media which you're clearly very entrenched in."
Actually, it's pretty well known that the laptop was real. You are the one 'entrenched' in left-wing media:
It is now widely confirmed by multiple sources, including federal prosecutor and media outlets, that the laptop that was the subject of a 2020 New York Post story did belong to Hunter Biden. It has been used as evidence in his 2024 criminal trial.
Key developments and verifications
FBI and Justice Department confirmation
In December 2019, the FBI seized the laptop from a Delaware computer repair shop via a grand jury subpoena.
-FBI investigators concluded in 2019 that the laptop genuinely belonged to Hunter Biden and had not been manipulated. -During Hunter Biden's 2024 federal gun trial, the Justice Department's special counsel, David C. Weiss, introduced the laptop as evidence. An FBI agent testified about its contents, which were used to demonstrate Biden's drug use at the time of the firearm purchase. -Several news organizations have reported on the authenticity of content from the laptop. -The New York Times stated in March 2022 that it had obtained and authenticated some emails from a cache believed to be from the laptop.
Did you forget that Biden pardoned his entire family before he left office for past and future crimes?
> Did you forget that Biden pardoned his entire family
No, I didn't. After all the political witch hunts and a vengeful Trump DOJ coming into power, I don't blame him.
Nothing you just said bears resemblance to the FCC-directed censorship we just saw today. Cite some sources if you think otherwise.
So if the government puts pressure on private individuals to censor, it's okay? The government put pressure on Apple, Google, and Amazon to ban Parler when it was thought that it was thought it was being used to plan J6 (oopsie, it ended up being Facebook, but that didn't matter because right-wing bad).
There's no difference between the government putting pressure on private companies to censor and the government censoring themselves.
I also would like to add that this is public airwaves. The government has always controlled public airwaves. You can still say all the sick shit you want on Podcasts, Youtube, and any other private platform and it won't be controlled by the government.
