I remember when Apple, Google and Amazon banned the Parler app because it was being used by conservatives to share conservative views online. Today, we’re seeing that leftist domestic terrorists are using social media apps to communicate, but these companies don’t seem concerned about that. Why is there a double standard? Why are conservatives censored, but not leftists?

Well, here’s an interesting story from Daily Wire:

Google has committed to allowing all creators who were kicked off YouTube — over so-called political speech “violations” — the chance to return to the platform. And according to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, “THAT’S NOT ALL.”

The tech giant sent a letter to Jordan and the Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, but the letter also included several statements from YouTube, admitting, among other things, to pressure from the former President Joe Biden’s administration to censor certain political statements.

In the rest of the article, it notes that conservatives were censored for their conservative viewpoints – not because they had violated any specific policy.

Another article from Daily Wire notes:

Creators banned under this regime include Dan Bongino and Sebastian Gorka, both of whom now serve in the Trump administration.

Now, back to that point I made about Big Tech companies censoring the Parler app, because it was for conservatives. What do you think would happen if leftist domestic terrorists were using an app to assist them in their domestic terrorism? Would Apple and Google censor that app?

The Federalist explains:

In a chilling social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel described how Wednesday’s sniper at a Dallas ICE facility gathered intelligence online for the ambush that left one ICE detainee dead and two seriously injured. Authorities say suspected killer Joshua Jahn, 29, committed suicide after the ambush.

[…]While retracing Jahn’s movements and writings, the FBI found he reviewed a document that listed Dallas DHS locations, and he “searched apps that tracked the presence of ICE agents.” Marcos Charles, the ICE executive associate director for enforcement and removal operations, confirmed the gunman utilized these apps to carry out the attack.

So, will the same big tech companies that banned Parler also ban these anti-government, anti-law-enforcement apps?

Of course not:

The Federalist sent emails to the media relations teams at the Google and Apple app stores. These teams are made up of people who are paid full-time wages to answer questions from the media. And the question The Federalist asked seemed like a real softball: Will the app store remove apps that track ICE or law enforcement?

[…]But at the time of publication both companies had refused to commit to suspending ICE-tracking apps.

Do you think they will ban these apps, or do you think they will let their allies on the left continue to use them to commit violence against law enforcement? What would you do with Big Tech censors? I don’t think they would be changing a thing if the Democrats had won in 2024. They’re only sorry now, because they got caught. Not because they care about free speech.
