It's truly shocking how the big tech companies have clamped down on free speech. These companies have colluded with governments and government agencies. I hope that substack remains open. Much of the mainstream media is in on it too. There was an article on Unherd recently about how The New York Times has had to issue corrections and apologies after branding various issues as Conspiracy Theories which have later proved to be true.

In the film about the Washington Post called The Post the editor Ben Bradlee said "The only way to protect the right to publish is to publish". I think this goes for free speech too. To protect the right to free speech we have to speak without fear.

It's crazy! And it seems in this case that this is all about Big Pharma... Big Tech won't let people talk about the vaccines, basically.... There is all the ideological silencing too, of course, on account of trans activists running the show in Big Tech, but w/r/t Covid it appears they are now censoring any critical discussion of vaccines...

It's also appalling that paypal have blocked funding for organisations such as Free Speech Union and others.

I had hoped that Elon Musk would bring some sense back into twitter. That may still happen.
