The app for independent voices

I've subscribed to your blog despite the fact that I think I will rarely agree with you on many issues, the same reason I subscribe to Andrew Sullivan (whose blog directed me to you). It is imperative to me that I read and understand and question conservative thinkers who are outside of the Trumpian echo chamber.

For this piece I will only question one part:

[T]he strong alliance between the Democratic Party and the press, which are advocating that major tech companies crack down on “hate,” or “disinformation,” which has quickly become a synonym for “information I don’t like.”

I believe there is a monumental difference between "information I don't like" and deliberate dissemination of lies and disinformation, both through mainstream right wing media (Fox "News") and the insanity of Trumpian social media. They are not providing facts from a different perspective. They are providing "facts" that are bald face lies and are primarily responsible for the polarization we live in today. My Trumpian friends believe everything they hear from Limbaugh, Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham, Ben Shapiro, Breitbart, etc., and have no idea that these cretins are laughing all the way to the bank as they fool their viewers. I challenge anyone to provide me with the names of equally leftist radicals who have the audience these entertainers have.
