The promise of America has always been freedom. One of the governing premises of America has been freedom from censorship. America has been depending on that freedom for decades. Now Big Tech has determined that they can censor anyone’s voice at any moment. If these companies can ban a former President of the United States from speaking on their platform, how much information does it really allow to be put on their platform?
Hopefully that will change with the latest leak by sources close to Former President Donald Trump who have told Fox News that Trump’s team are “moving forward” with plans to start their own social media platform. These announcements have come shortly after Facebook removed the video of an interview with former President Trump conducted by his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, saying any content “in the voice of Donald Trump” would be scrubbed from the social media platform.
Facebook announced publicly that they have banned the former President from speaking on their platform back in January.
“We are reaching out to let you know that we removed content from Lara Trump’s Facebook Page that featured President Trump speaking,” the Facebook employee wrote. “In line with the block we placed on Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, further content posted in the voice of Donald Trump will be removed and result in additional limitations on the accounts.”
“We’re moving forward,” one source said Tuesday. “And President Trump will have his voice back one way or another.”
The source said they are “taking the time to do it right.”
“You have one shot at it,” the source said. “We’re dotting our Is and crossing our Ts— we’ll be out with something.”
Earlier this month it was teased by Trump’s senior adviser Jason Miller that the plans for Trump to create his own form of social media was well underway after meeting with multiple companies to work with.
“What they did to Lara was disgraceful,” a source close to Trump told Fox News. “They’re shutting down our voices, anything to do with Trump.”
“It’s not good what’s going on. They are trying to completely silence us,” the source continued.
The source added: “It’s not going to work out all too well though, because we’re firing away and starting up our own stuff right now.”
