Poorly written, poorly sourced blog spam.
And the money shot
Given the role these tech companies serve as providers of information and censors of speech and discussion, they are now publishers and telecommunications companies and therefore should be brought under the 1996 Telecommunications Act with the FCC providing the governance and oversight of these entities with no 230 exceptions.

And more troubling, unlike the NSA, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, and Amazon use that data for their own and their clients’ purposes.
And that's not us.

Probably because of this
The radically left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center, which regularly labels mainstream conservative ideas as hate speech, regularly instructs Facebook, Twitter, and Google on how to root out “hate speech” on their platforms. It’s clear these companies are aligning themselves publicly with these liberal and left-wing groups
and similar.

Out of curiosity, why did this get removed from front page?
Sometimes it feels like you’re one opinion away from being labeled and excluded. Whatever happened to people letting others change their minds?
Think of someone who has been labeled. Everyone knows at least a few. Ask yourself: do you feel like these people have changed their minds? Why or why not? It didn’t occur to me it was even a possibility until I actively examined why I felt ok with labeling them. And then I realized it doesn’t feel ok at all.
Labels have always had immense power throughout history, and in the age of the internet it’s somewhat terrifying to see them applied in ways that stick to you for the rest of your life. Do we have no choice but to go through life rarely expressing opinions online?
