This past weekend, Breitbart’s John Nolte pointed out yet another instance of political censorship from the social media giant Twitter, and this time, their target happened to be one of the most popular websites on the Internet.

“Look at how Twitter censors @Drudge,” Nolte wrote. “90% of tweets are blocked.” In addition to this message, Nolte published several screen shots of the Drudge Report’s Twitter account, which featured a number of blocked posts with the message, “This Tweet is not available because it includes potentially sensitive content.”

The controversy also drew the attention of House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, who wrote on Twitter, “I’ve noticed this also… Seems like @DRUDGE_REPORT @DRUDGE being censored by Twitter. PLEASE RETWEET if you’ve seen this happen in your feed!” At the time of this article’s publication, Nunes’ tweet had been retweeted over 13,000 times.

It’s not exactly a secret that Twitter (along with several other social media sites) routinely suppresses conservative content. This sort of political censorship was on full display last year when Twitter blocked a pro-life ad put out by Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. After Blackburn’s team demanded answers as to why the ad was censored, Twitter responded: “It appears that the line in this video specific to ‘stopped the sale of baby body parts’ has been deemed an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction. If this is omitted from the video it will be permitted to serve.” (Related: This undercover video of Twitter engineers reveals tech giants have devolved into dangerous left-wing censorship regimes.)

Natural News has been reporting on the censorship of conservative voices on the Internet for quite some time now, and with all of the facts and information out on the table, the question that we now have to ask ourselves is this: What will happen to our society if we allow this assault on the First Amendment to continue?
