The widescale suppression and censorship of information has been done before:
I have often spoken about the politicisation of society. And it is clearly the case that for many years now even things like medicine and science have become heavily politicised. And when this occurs, you can fully expect indoctrination and censorship to replace facts and the free flow of information.
We are certainly seeing this happen with the corona crisis. The censorship of ideas and information not considered to be ‘correct’ by Big Tech companies and social media outfits is every bit as damnable and dangerous as what was done in Germany not so long ago.
Indeed, it really is almost identical. Back then they burned books that were considered to go against the party line. Now they are pulling down posts, even entire websites, that go against the party line. Whatever runs against the narrative must be suppressed. The message is clear: ‘you will only be allowed to think what we tell you to think’!
The full-fledged debate over hydroxychloroquine and whether it may be
of help as a treatment in corona is a clear case in point. Facebook,
Google, Twitter, YouTube and other tech giants are now deciding what can
be posted on this and what cannot.
Tucker Carlson put it this way:
Scientific consensus changes. That’s the point. As we learn more, our conclusions change. Legitimate scientists understand that. That’s called the scientific method. Big Tech companies don’t care one way or the other because their goal is not the truth. Their goal is to control the outcome of an election. It’s not to protect public health. This isn’t about public health, and it’s not about science. It never was. It’s about power. And no one in the history of the world has ever had more power than Google and Facebook have right now. www.foxnews.com/opinion/big-tech-censors-covid-19-video-tucker-carlson
