Tech giants’ censorship is an online ETHNIC CLEANSING campaign, equivalent to intellectual genocide

This week POTUS Donald Trump took up the cause against the social media behemoths’ censorship and shadow-banning of conservative, pro-administration media and political voices by tweeting his disdain for their actions and pledging some form of action.
Whether that action comes in the form of regulations issued by a federal agency or signing off on legislation aimed at forcing the Big Tech firms to play it even and fair when it comes to political discussion isn’t yet clear.
But what has become obvious is that Big Tech’s coordinated campaign to silence conservative, libertarian, pro-POTUS Trump voices is the technological equivalent to Nazi-era book-burning or modern-day ethnic cleansing.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, many of the top Right-leaning websites are reporting substantial reductions in traffic from social media giants like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Google – referral traffic that many of them depend on for their livelihood.
Referral traffic drives views, and views in turn generate ad revenue, either in the form of clicks (to help conservative publishers out you should always click on an ad or two – heck, you never know when you’ll find your next great deal, and this helps publishers a lot, like subscribing to electronic newsletters and then actually opening them daily). Without traffic, obviously, revenue falls and good reporters lose jobs while great sites often have to shut down operations – which is one of the primary objectives of the social media giants (silence opposition and run them out of business).
In talking with two top conservative publishers, The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft said they have collectively lost roughly 1.5 billion-page views since POTUS Trump stunned the world and won the November 2016 election.
“Floyd Brown is a conservative author, speaker and media commentator,” Hoft wrote. “In 2008 Floyd launched Western Journal which quickly became one of the top conservative websites in America. By 2016 Floyd’s organization of Western Journal and other conservative websites under his umbrella had more than a billion page views. Since 2016 Floyd’s organization lost 75% of its Facebook traffic.” (Related: URGENT: Sign the White House petition demanding protections for online speech.)
