anti-clickbait tldr: “…contempt of Congress, for failing to supply documents related to an investigation into supposed censorship by tech companies of conservatives.” *yawn*
Ugh, this shit is so stupid. There’s little evidence that conservatives are censored online. They just like to pull the victim card to get people riled up.

Their entire identity is persecution complex. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so tedious.
Not tedious. Dangerous. It’s part of the same gaslighting psychology that cults use to get their members to do heinous acts.
Yep. 100% smoke and mirrors. Easier to claim to be focused on that (and thus ultimately be focused on nothing) than to be overtly doing nothing.
Edit: fuck zuck still, though. Different beast, different problems
What ironic backwards nonsense. Conservatives are rarely censored as much as their victim complex makes them want to seem. From what I’ve seen, they’re only sometimes censored if they violate the site policy and even then Zuckerberg reinstated the biggest offender. Republicans just want corporations to be like the government and not be able to take down any speech whatsoever.
Social media websites are private companies. They are allowed to remove whatever speech they see fit. It’s not a first amendment issue like some people think. Twitter has nothing to do with the first amendment unless the government is forcing Twitter to remove things. (Which, side note, they’re not. They recommend things that they think should be removed. They don’t force.)
I honestly wonder if Republicans think there is more censorship because there are less of them than there are of Democrats, independents, centrists, and legit undecided people. Maybe they see different percentages online than they do in person and feel like their voices are being suppressed.
It’s hilarious because they’ve actually been afraid to censor conservative hate speech because of political backlash from extremists
Oh no! Anyway…
He didn’t donate enough?
Jim Jordan, noted defender of the “right” to defraud with criminal disinformation, wants to know why his henchmen didn’t wave their magic wands and erase our free will. Maybe someone should inform Mr. Jordan that people can only be fooled into believing so many lies before even the very stupidest people become doubtful.
I’m not so sure about that… these people are DUMB.
They’re not dumb; they’re evil. They’re not inept, they’re malicious.
Team nobody!
Two men enter, one man leaves!
Androids can be held in contempt of Congress?
It’s gonna be that episode of Star Trek Next Gen where Piccard tried to prove data was human.
Isn’t what really happened the opposite of what they’re saying?
They’re going to have to make sure he has a full battery first…
