The lesson here is that Big Tech deplatforming targets not only Neo-Nazis, white supremacists (do more than maybe 50 of them exist nationwide?), conservatives, Trump supporters, MAGA hat wearers, traditional Christians, libertarians, non-cake bakers, and other political dissidents.
Deplatforming will target anyone who dissents from the current political orthodoxy that our elites have decreed to be correct.
The linked essay shows how vaccine skeptics who share little in common politically have been deplatformed by Big Tech including Amazon, Facebook, Pinterest, Google/YouTube, Etsy, Vimeo, MailChimp, GoFundMe, and MailChimp.
Questioning what our elites call “settled science” will get you booted. Eventually the list of heretics will include skeptics of climate change, skeptics of the (purported) public health benefits of “gun control” laws, skeptics of the (purported) benefits of indoctrinate-them-young sex ed in public schools, skeptics of the (purportedly) positive psychological effects of abortion, skeptics of the (purportedly) positive effects of gender reassignment surgery on preschoolers, skeptics of the (purportedly) positive effects of legalizing pedophilia, etc.
If you don’t believe what the elites tell you to believe, or at least pretend to, apparently you lose the right to speak. This should alarm even old-fashioned liberals (do more than maybe 50 of them exist nationwide?) who believe in old-fashioned values like free expression.
