I have been censored by social media for the first time. Sure, I have been shadowbanned for years, at the expense of my free speech and my income. A year ago, I wrote, in a professional capacity, about the social media companies’ hypocrisy in avoiding liabilities as a publisher while publishing their own content and censoring posts with which they disagree. But now a single post, with a single sentence, linking to my review of a book on American Greatness, has been banned by LinkedIn.
Why has LinkedIn banned this particular post? LinkedIn hasn’t given a reason.
On Monday, American Greatness published my review of Mollie Hemingway’s fine book Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections.
I posted on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn a link to this review, with the following text: “Next time someone caricatures evidence of #voting irregularities as a conspiracy theory, throw the book at them—@MZHemingway’s book. My latest review for @theamgreatness.”
