Questions Over Why Twitter Gives Taliban a Platform While Banning American Dissidents

Apparently, actual terrorist organizations are fine.

Questions continue to swirl over why some social media platforms like Twitter are giving the Taliban, a terrorist organization under U.S. law, a public platform having permanently banned American dissidents and the President of the United States himself.

After Facebook and YouTube moved to ban any accounts associated with the Taliban following their takeover of Afghanistan, Twitter faced scrutiny as to why it hadn’t followed suit.

When a Taliban representative was asked for a response on the ban, he chided Facebook for tacitly supporting free speech while silencing those who express the wrong opinions.

“This question should be asked to those people who are claiming promoters of freedom of speech, who do not allow publication of all information. I can ask the Facebook company. This question should be asked to them,” said the Taliban spokesman.

However, Twitter has yet to suspend any major Taliban accounts, having previously banned the sitting President of the United States, Donald Trump, back in January.

“A spokesman for the radical Islamist group that has seized control of Afghanistan, Zabihullah Mujahid, has been using the platform to give updates about the group’s advance,” reports Fox News.

“Mujahid’s account is not verified but has nearly 280,000 followers and is regularly cited by major news outlets.”

Twitter has indicated that prominent Taliban members will be free to continue to use the platform so long as they “obey the rules.”

The Babylon Bee joked that Trump had secretly sneaked back on Twitter by identifying as a Taliban spokesperson.

While Islamic terrorist organizations are given free reign to amplify their propaganda by Twitter, American dissidents like Alex Jones, Roger Stone and countless others were banned years ago.

“Joe Rogan interviews all-American Alex Jones and the corporate media demands he be banned for “giving a platform to extremists,” commented Mike Cernovich.

“These same corporate media employees are giving a platform to the Taliban, and uncritically sharing their propaganda.”

Reddit Bans Vaccine-Skeptic Subreddit Just Days After CEO Promised to Defend “Dissent”

Subreddit deplatformed after hissy fit by left-wing users.

Reddit has completely banned a vaccine-skeptic subreddit just days after CEO Steve Huffman promised not to while claiming the site values “dissent.”

Well, that lasted long.

“Dissent is a part of Reddit and the foundation of democracy,” Huffman wrote in a blog post. “Reddit is a place for open and authentic discussion and debate.”

However, this sentiment wasn’t shared by Reddit’s notoriously censoriously intolerant left-wing community, which protested against Huffman’s free speech stance by switching numerous major subreddits to ‘private’ and vowing to keep them locked until vaccine skeptics were deplatformed.

That duly happened when the ‘r/NoNewNormal’ subreddit was placed in quarantine and then banned altogether.

The site justified the move by claiming ‘r/NoNewNormal’ users were brigading other forums (invading them to cause discord), something that’s only acceptable when left-wingers do it.

“In short, Reddit used an evidence-free claim to banish a forum which had 120,000 members engaging in “open and authentic discussion and debate” over vaccines, masks, and authoritarianism,” reports Zero Hedge.

54 other subreddits that dared to question mask mandates or the efficacy and safety of vaccines were also put under quarantine, meaning they don’t appear in search and users have to enter an email address to access their content.

As we highlighted last year, Reddit’s site policy openly allows hate speech against “people who are in the majority” – in other words, white people.

Back in 2019, a Reddit page dedicated to black issues declared that white people are no longer allowed to post there anymore.

Taliban Leader Declares Occupation Of Afghanistan… On Twitter

As Joe Biden relaxes at Camp David, announcing that he may address the situation in Afghanistan in a few days, and as his press secretary takes the week off, the Taliban has seized complete control of the country with its leader declaring it an ‘Islamic Emirate’… on Twitter.

That’s right, the leader of the Taliban is on Twitter.

Barbaric murderous savages spreading extremist hate doesn’t contravene Twitter’s terms of service, apparently.

Even CNN is asking, what the hell is Biden doing?

President Trump issued a statement Sunday urging “What Joe Biden Has Done with Afghanistan Is Legendary. It will go down as one of the greatest defeats in history.”

Trump added that it’s time for Joe Biden to resign in disgrace, noting “He wasn’t elected legitimately in the first place!”

You didn’t see that on Twitter though.

YouTube Suspended Rand Paul For Mask Comments Almost Identical to Those Made by Biden’s Former COVID Adviser

“Why can you say this on CNN or PBS but not YouTube?”

YouTube suspended Rand Paul for questioning the efficacy of face masks despite the fact that the Senator’s comments were virtually identical to those made by Biden’s former COVID adviser Dr. Michael Osterholm on CNN just a week ago.

Yes, really.

As we highlighted earlier, Paul has been blocked from uploading to YouTube for a week and his entire channel faces possible deletion after the Google-owned company claimed the Senator had again violated its “COVID misinformation” policy.

The Senator’s speech crime was to cite two scientific studies that prove cloth masks have no substantial effect on halting the spread of coronaviruses.

“Saying cloth masks work, when they don’t, actually risks lives, as someone may choose to care for a loved one with COVID while only wearing a cloth mask. This is not only bad advice but also potentially deadly misinformation,” Paul said in the video removed by YouTube.

However, as journalist Glenn Greenwald points out today, Joe Biden’s former COVID adviser, the epidemiologist Michael Osterholm, told CNN virtually the same thing just last week.

Speaking about cloth masks, Osterholm said, “They actually only have very little impact in reducing the amount of virus that you inhale or exhale out.”

Osterholm went on to express his disappointment at public health officials improperly informing the American public about the efficacy of masks.

“Here’s Dr. Osterholm on CNN saying exactly the same thing that @RandPaul just got suspended from YouTube for saying: that cloth masks, as opposed to N95s, provide very, very little protection. Why can you say this on CNN or PBS but not YouTube????” asked Greenwald.

Greenwald noted how the deplatforming of Alex Jones back in 2018 has now led to a situation “where almost no dissent is allowed.”

“Just look at the number of liberals cheering and justifying YouTube’s suspension of Rand Paul for his comments on masks — ones echoed by Biden’s own former COVID adviser — and you’ll see why this faction is completely authoritarian,” said Greenwald. “They crave corporate speech policing.”

Numerous top public health officials have also pointed out that face masks are largely useless, including Dr. Anthony Fauci himself.

In a February 2020 email, Fauci wrote that a typical store-bought face mask “is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material.”

As previously highlighted, Dr Colin Axon, a SAGE advisor for the UK government, dismissed face masks as “comfort blankets” that do virtually nothing, noting that the COVID-19 virus particle is up to 5,000 times smaller than the holes in the mask.

“The small sizes are not easily understood but an imperfect analogy would be to imagine marbles fired at builders’ scaffolding, some might hit a pole and rebound, but obviously most will fly through,” Axon said.

A peer reviewed study involving 6,000 participants in Denmark revealed that “there was no statistically significant difference between those who wore masks and those who did not when it came to being infected by Covid-19,” the Spectator reported.
