Silicon Valley and Free Speech
/As a follow up to my post, Freedom of Speech and the Recent Actions of Twitter and Facebook,I received a number of emails along the lines of this one:
RW response:
I am open to evidence that the government is behind the actions but such a theory without evidence lacks an understanding of Silicon Valley. I don't think the government is behind the censorship but, even if it is, I don't see that as the major problem.
The SV crowd is rabidly anti-Trump and they all hang out together so it is not surprising that they react in concert against Trump.
I recall Justin Raimondo telling me that he was once invited to the house of Google co-founder Sergy Brin. [Gaudy furniture, Justin told me.] All the major SV players were there. It was just after the start of one of the Iraq wars and they had Justin there along with other foreign affairs experts to discuss what their position should be on the war.
