As major social media platforms start to target me for censorship, I shudder to think what it that means for millions of other Americans, especially as we approach the 2020 presidential campaign.
As soon as censorship of McEnany became a headline, Instagram once again claimed it was all a "Mistake." If not for conservative media, the social media giant may never be held accountable.
Facebook offered the same lame excuse after banning several videos posted by conservative nonprofit PragerU for alleged "Hate speech." It was an "Employee error," the tech giant proclaimed after PragerU publicly complained about the censorship.
Even worse than the censorship itself is the fact that it takes public outrage just to get Big Tech to treat conservative voices fairly.
The tech giants are now tinkering with their terms of service to mandate that users adhere to liberal orthodoxy in their posts.
Those of us with a big enough public profile to hold the tech giants accountable for their partisan speech-policing have a duty to do so.
They've poked the hornet's nest of conservative activists, and we will continue to vigilantly shame them for their censorship, because so much is at stake.
