Arrr! Ye scurvy dogs at the Media Research Center have unearthed a treasure trove of 6,000 instances of online censorship! They be a bunch of landlubbers, silencing the voices of 700 brave souls who dared to criticize that scallywag President Joe Biden! And that ain't all, me hearties! They be censoring posts on political debates, like that mysterious transgenderism and the cursed coronavirus response. They be striking on all platforms, from Facebook to Instagram, Twitter/X to Google, and even YouTube! In one tale worth tellin', they be clampin' down on an Instagram video from the Atlas Society, a crew of libertarian buccaneers..." Arrr, the sea be a treacherous place for free speech, me mateys!
In the year of our Lord 2021, the Media Research Center (MRC) has plundered and pillaged its way to a grand treasure of over 6,000 cases of online censorship. Aye, ye read that right! They be keepin' a Censortrack database, markin' every instance of scurvy dogs bein' silenced on the high seas of the internet.Amongst these cases be a mighty 700 instances of criticism aimed at the incumbent President, Joe Biden. It be a treacherous sea indeed, where ye cannot speak ill o' the Cap'n without facin' the wrath of the censors. But the MRC be not stoppin' there! Nay, they be uncoverin' a whole treasure trove of posts on political debates like transgenderism and the coronavirus response. Aye, even these waters be dangerous to navigate, for the censors be lurkin' in every corner, ready to strike!
Now, me hearties, it be worth notin' that these cases o' censorship be spread across many a platform. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, Google, and YouTube, they all be guilty of takin' away our freedom to speak our minds. No corner of the internet be safe from their tyranny!
But let me regale ye with a tale of one recent act of censorship that be sure to make ye chuckle. The Atlas Society, a fine group of libertarian thinkers, had a video on their Instagram account. Aye, 'twas a video that dared to challenge the status quo, and ye know what happened? The censors struck! They removed the video faster than a cannonball through the riggin'! 'Tis a sad day when even the pirates of Instagram cannot speak their minds without fear of walkin' the plank!
So, me hearties, be warned! The seas of online censorship be treacherous and filled with dangerous waters. But fear not, for the MRC be fightin' the good fight, keepin' tabs on every act of censorship. Let us raise our glasses and toast to the day when freedom of speech be restored to the seven seas of the internet!
