This raises a very important question that relates to freedom of speech in the public interest.

In Australia this has been looked at before. It's a big problem.

Governments hate free speech because they hate their corruption being shown up.

So let's take an extreme example.

Someone on twitter puts out a tweet that says "I have solid information that Corporation X has contaminated the water in Brisbane"

The person makes the disclosure in good faith.

In Australia, where the disclosure is made, it would be protected under the Public Interest Disclosure Act - provided it is made in good faith (outside of this, other offences might apply)

Other countries do not have this specific law...

However it is clearly in the public interest to have whistleblowers (or even lay members of the public) able to freely express safety concerns.

@ErinBrockovich famously

Yet those corporations with unlimited budgets have unlimited power to suppress any public spotlight on their toxicity - hexavalent chromium and PFOA yesterday, LNP-mRNA today.

Do you think it's OK to do this?

So the question is - if an employee of a "public square" organisation suppresses public interest disclosures on behalf of corporations or governments, without the credentials to do so, did they commit a crime?

Did they endanger the public?

Which is why the new @Project_Veritas #pfizergate story is so important.

It doesn't matter what role "Jordon" played in the corporation.

What matters is that the corporation was able to quash the story within 12 hours.

And by the same token, the suppression of genuine scientific and medical accounts raising safety concerns during 2020-2022 has led to people being fooled or coerced into taking a drug that resulted in their death. Many deaths.

All these twitter accounts were suspended in a coordinated purge to silence warnings about the rollout of a drug that has the highest rate of reported death of any known preventative medicine.

So who ordered the purge?
@elonmusk knows.

Yet the suppression hasn't stopped - this account is still being shadowbanned which means that you wouldn't have seen the #taggate thread yesterday.

So you wouldn't know how the corporations got those fantastic (in the literal sense) results.

The flip side to this is that we also don't want dangerous disinformation to prevail.

The answer to "disinformation" though is not suppression and gatekeeping - it is better information.
If the price of that is that even "crazy people" get to have their say, so what?

Because one thing that history has told us again and again:

Suppression of speech leads inevitably to totalitarianism, whichever label (fascism, communism, marxism) you want to put on it.

And #democide is always the result.
ALWAYS.
