The Secondhand Censorship Effect: The Real Impact of Big Tech’s Thought-Policing
Media Bias,Censorship,Big Tech,Twitter,Facebook,Instagram
America is increasingly outraged by the manner in which radical Big Tech leftists are censoring conservative and Christian leaders and organizations on nearly every major social media platform.
But what is the secondhand effect of this censorship on consumers – the American people? How much information is being kept from the average social media user?
The answer is an astonishing amount, arguably more information than has ever been purposely withheld from the public in American history.
The Media Research Center's CensorTrack.org has identified and verified over 4,000 individual examples of censorship. For purposes of this study, we looked at only the first quarter of 2022 wherein 172 cases were identified. An analysis of the audiences of those individuals/organizations alone found that in that three-month period, there were no less than 144,301,713 times information was withheld from the American people.
