Seeing folks citing a tweet from me post-Capitol attack calling for outlets who baselessly pushed election fraud conspiracy & for Trump supporters to "Stop the Steal" to be removed as being "pro-censorship."

I ALSO made clear in livestreams I'm AGAINST Silicon Valley deciding...

which hosts and channels are "inciting violence" or doing illegal things. I've said that in MANY livestreams and other videos. I know nuance isn't popular online, but two things can be true...

Media companies and channels with huge platforms and audience should be held...

accountable if they are urging their viewers to try and stop an election result they don't like—that is not "free speech." It's inciting paranoia, misinformation, and ultimately people to take violent action.

BUT the entities that should be holding them accountable are not...

Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Jeff Bezos (Twitch), or Sundar Pichai (Google CEO). If unelected Silicon Valley plutcrats are information judge, juries, and executioners, full-throated fascism is the natural next step...

I believe outlets that push evidence-free conspiracy theories should be allowed to push those conspiracies under the first amendment. But if those outlets than urge viewers to take illegal actions against those evidence-free conspiracies, no, sorry, that's not protected free...

speech or "censorship" to call for those individuals or channels to be held accountable. The important thing is...we have a court system (a very flawed one) in this country to hold them accountable...not Silcon Valley oligarchs...

People are free to disagree but it's not accurate that I ever called for Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, and Google to have a unilateral power to purge hosts or channels. The people claiming I said that know I didn't and are pushing it anyway. But hopefully this clears the record.
