On the heels of Forbes magazine editor Randall Lane threatening companies that hire Trump officials, we now have that periodical politically cleansing its own website of an article critical of their beloved social media monopolist that also engages in cracking down on free speech. Such was the case on Monday when Forbes deleted an article by frequent contributor, Jim Collins, that dared to strongly criticize Twitter which is now obviously a prohibited activity.

Collins pulled no punches in his strong criticism of Twitter as you can see just from reading the title of his article, "Twitter Is The Worst Company On Planet Earth. Here’s How To Bet Against The Stock—and Deactivate Your Account." Since Forbes apparently found this to be heretical towards its increasingly woke attitude, the article was soon deleted and all that remains on the page is this message: "This page is no longer active. We regret any inconvenience."

Fortunately, or unfortunately for Forbes, the source code for the page remains active so with a right and then a left click of the mouse, the taboo material remains available. Here are a few excerpts which the Forbes editors attempted to send down the memory hole:

And yet at the top of the page of the linked article there are both Twitter and Facebook links.

If there's going to be actual consequences to all this shit people need to bury these companies. And to do that you have to stop using them.
