Hat tip Vlad Tepes
Things are bad enough for Dutch politician Geert Wilders. The Islamists want to kill him for what he says and his own government is always putting him on trial for expressing his opinions about Islam and Muslim migration to his country. To add insult to injury even Twitter is going after him.
It may seem petty, but we cannot overestimate the growing power of social media to form public opinion. That Twitter, Facebook, Google and others are practicing this kind of censorship is scary.
The power of the Social Media is beyond any previous propaganda efforts by evil totalitarian leaders. They make Joseph Goebbels look like an amateur. Facebook has been sanctioned for bias. Twitter has been warned for their "Shadow Banning" and Google manages the information in the search engine. Google will manipulate the sources when searching for anything political in nature. Example: Google puts WaPo, NYT, Vox, Vanity Fair, Vogue, MSNBC, NBC, CNN up front in the sources, first.
