Twitter Bans Trump, But Lets the Cuban Dictator Tweet Away
The Big Lie, exclaimed both Clay and Buck, is that Big Tech is a big supporter of the First Amendment. Or facts. Or peaceful discourse. Or fairness. It should really be called Big Hypocrisy.
“The power of Big Tech and the inconsistency with which they apply that power and the banning of Donald Trump by all of the Big Tech companies simultaneously in collusion represents, to me, one of the biggest threats to the First Amendment that has existed in my life, if not the biggest,” Clay argued.
The Cuban uprising, and handling of Cuban President and First Secretary of the Communist Party Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, amounts to a horrifying microcosm of all Clay and Buck think we should be enraged about regarding Big Tech.
“How is it possible,” Clay continued, “that the communist leader of Cuba — who is beating and arresting protesters — how is it allowed for him to constantly be putting out propaganda and yet Twitter does nothing to him? Meanwhile, the democratically elected president of the United States is not allowed to be on the platform.”
Although Cuba is under the spotlight right now, the duo stressed that Big Tech hypocrisy reigns supreme globally. Clay noted the Iranian leader’s tweets of hatred against Jews. And Buck indignantly said, “You can be Hamas and keep your social media rights as far as Silicon Valley is concerned, but, if you’re a Republican who opposes transgender athletes competing against women, we gotta shut you down.”
Listen to Clay and Buck unleash their much-justified Big Tech outrage:
