Once again, social media companies are censoring and banning conservatives all over the place. It has gotten so bad that even Trump is weighing in on the issue.
The Daily Caller reports:
‘THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:’ TRUMP ADDRESSES LATEST SOCIAL MEDIA CENSORSHIP
President Donald Trump addressed the latest round of social media deplatforming in a series of Friday evening tweets.
Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, who make up the conservative duo Diamond and Silk, claimed last month that Facebook labeled their videos “unsafe to the community,” in a decision that was final and irreversible. The president’s first tweet was a shout-out to the pair.
“The wonderful Diamond and Silk have been treated so horribly by Facebook,” Trump tweeted. “They work so hard and what has been done to them is very sad – and we’re looking into. It’s getting worse and worse for Conservatives on social media!”
Then, Trump noted “conservative thinkers” like actor James Woods and Infowars editor Paul Joseph Watson, who were banned from Twitter and Facebook respectively.

I am continuing to monitor the censorship of AMERICAN CITIZENS on social media platforms. This is the United States of America — and we have what’s known as FREEDOM OF SPEECH! We are monitoring and watching, closely!!

Have you noticed that this never seems to happen to people on the left?
Could that be because the people who run these companies are also on the left?
