‘Free Press,’ who claims to be a non-partisan organization “fighting for your rights to connect and communicate,” has issued a statement opposing free speech and calling for Big Tech to censor voices that they find unsavory.
The statement, filled with doublespeak, came after the organization faced massive backlash over calling for Alex Jones to be banned from Facebook on Wednesday.
In a post titled “Free Press vs. Hate,” the organization claimed that the backlash came from “detractors and racist trolls.” However, many of the people who pointed out the hypocrisy were leftists.
The bizarre and jumbled statement from the organization argued that because black people have been historically silenced, it is totally fine to censor those that they decide are racist. They claimed that silencing of black voices continues presently, pointing to “comedian Leslie Jones” having to “contend with hostility on online platforms or are attacked in real life simply due to their race, gender, religion or sexual identity.”
The comedian was not silenced by the trolling.
It seems their solution for some people being allegedly “silenced” online is to actually silence others.
Addressing their call for Alex Jones to be further deplatformed, they claimed that it is “the right thing to do.”
