Google has deleted one of the best and largest left-wing media outlets in the UK. No warning or explanation was provided. Just zapped it out of existence.
Congratulations to online censorship advocates: this is the system of repression and arbitrary silencing you created!
Maybe the unseen Google overlords who made this decision will reverse it. Maybe they won't. 🤷♂️
@novaramedia and its employees will now just wait around helplessly as they see if hidden authorities allow them to be heard, like desperate, hapless defendants in a Kafka novel
In many ways, liberals and even the left are reaping what they've sown: not just by cheering a regime of censorship in the belief it wouldn't be used against them, but also serving tech monopolies by demonizing any free speech alternatives - like Rumble - as right-wing sites.
Liberals have created a framework where there are only two legitimate venues: 1) corporate media outlets or 2) tech monopolies like Google and Facebook.
So when they are excluded and censured and banned there, they have no alternatives, because they've demonized all others.
Trying to turn free speech into a right-wing value is one of the dumbest fucking things liberals have done. Now when they're censored by corporate giants or the state, they have no principles on which to object, no values to which they can appeal: just have to beg for reversal.
