The Censorship Crusade Continues

06/08/2019

Throughout our history, free speech has been cherished in the United States of America. Thankfully, we have the First Amendment which mandates that "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech." It not only protects this right, but also the free press and other precious liberties such as the right to exercise religious beliefs, assemble, and "petition the Government for the redress of grievances."

Instead of supporting free speech, the standard for YouTube and other social media sites is to censor conservatives while allowing liberals the independence to make any kind of comment. Of course, this type of policy is more than troubling. As Cruz warned, "YouTube is not the Star Chamber-stop playing God and silencing those voices you disagree with."
