With each passing day, it becomes harder and harder to deny the fact that political censorship has become commonplace in America. It’s gotten to the point where it’s almost as if the Constitution was never written in the first place, considering how often it is warped, regulated, and in many cases, ignored entirely. Make no mistake – this sort of censorship is a strategy that has primarily been adopted by those on the left, who seek to silence conservative voices on virtually every level of American society, from the mainstream media to Hollywood, to college campuses and the Internet.

As a matter of fact, the Internet has become something of a hot zone for political censorship in recent times, as companies like Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube, PayPal, and several more have begun engaging in selective suppression. Below is a comprehensive list of “tech tyrants” who are censoring websites and infringing on the First Amendment.
Back in March, Breitbart News reported on Google’s plan to launch a new AI system called Perspective, which is capable of detecting and censoring what it considers to be “toxic” comments posted online. Needless to say, the likelihood of abuse here is overwhelming. What is stopping a team of leftists behind the scenes at Google from switching around Perspective’s algorithm to specifically target anyone that does not subscribe to the left wing ideology?
PayPal
Just days ago, The Blaze reported on how the payment-processing website PayPal discontinued two conservative accounts – Jihad Watch and the American Freedom Defense Initiative – after a team of leftists reported them as “hate groups.” According to both organizations, a reporter for the nonprofit investigative journalism organization ProPublica named Lauren Kirchner wrote in an email, “I am contacting you to let you know that we are including your website in a list of sites that have been designated as hate or extremist by the American Defamation League or the Southern Poverty Law Center.”
