Censored! Big Tech Silences Over 260 Biden Critics Before Nomination

Former Vice President and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is a popular target on social media. But Big Tech companies have responded by deleting mocking posts and suspending critics.

In the months leading up to the Democratic National Convention, more than 260 conservative users on Facebook and Twitter had their posts about Biden scrubbed from the social media platforms. Posting an innocent meme showing light coming from Biden’s eyes meant an immediate suspension on Twitter for anywhere between 12 hours and two months. Facebook users who argued that Biden was “creepy” or posted actual pictures of the former vice president hugging, sniffing, or kissing children have had their posts removed as well.

The Media Research Center’s TechWatch division has been collecting and independently verifying incidents of online censorship since March 2020. Between April 1, 2020 and August 10, 2020, 260 users had posts or accounts censored due to their criticisms of Biden. Roughly half (129) of the incidents were reported and verified on Facebook. A nearly identical number (131 incidents) were reported and verified on Twitter.

I've been banned from a CBS news outlet in my state. I noticed many of my comments were being deleted.
I asked the people who run the website why and got no reply. Maybe it's because of my calling them petty fascists for deleting my comments.
 In none of my comments did I use foul language or attack any of the liberal commenters.
Meanwhile, many of the lib commenters get away with calling any conservative commenters racists.
It is one lib poster's automatic response to any conservative comment about anything.
