It's ludicrous to suggest there was no censorship involved. One way or another, all communications giants are involved in censorship.
What's even more ludicrous is Gigi Sohn of Public Knowledge saying "We hope the FCC and Congress take note." When are people going to fucking wake up to what's happened to the U.S. political system? The Democratic Congress says it's okay to spy on Americans without a warrant, and Gigi Sohn is still thinking the FCC and Congress gives a flying fuck about the public interest? Give me a fucking break.
The longer so-called "activists" cling to the illusion of a democratic republic, the longer it's going to take to dig ourselves out of this fucking hole. Let me remind you it's a hole dug not only by the villainous authoritarians of this country - of which both parties are very clearly complicit - but one dug even deeper by those who persevere in the clearly erroneous belief that "The Public" even exists in contemporary America. It does not. Wake the fuck up, dipshits.
P.S. That this story comes by way of Farhad Manjoo, who once made his living denouncing and ridiculing those of us on The Left who saw all this shit coming is really rich. Just how wrong do you have to be, Farhad Manjoo, before you're willing to admit your own complicity in the tyranny that grips America today? You, who never missed a chance to ridicule those who saw all this shit coming from a thousand miles away. Don't bother answering it. It's a rhetorical question, and, no doubt, you have a career to think of. What a fucking asshole.
