I was shocked when Twitter and Facebook unjustifiably shadow-banned my nationally syndicated column for years.<\/p>\n<p>They also censored my high-profile radio interviews with major politicians in Washington and other influencers for no reason other than they simply didn\u2019t want me \u2014 or others like me in the media \u2014 swaying public opinion that could cost Democrats in future elections.<\/p>\n<p>I never violated their terms of service; I simply posted my popular columns carried by <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>papers and media outlets nationwide, my news-breaking radio interviews and my mainstream conservative opinions held by half the country.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/musk-twitter-6.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Conservatives on Twitter have claimed that the platform has been &quot;shadow banning&quot; their accounts.\" class=\"wp-image-22091666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/musk-twitter-6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/musk-twitter-6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/musk-twitter-6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Conservatives on Twitter have claimed that the platform has been \u201cshadow banning\u201d their accounts.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS\/Dado Ruvic\/Illustration<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When I interviewed Donald Trump on my former Herald Radio podcast in May 2019, I tweeted to my thousands of Twitter followers about the exciting interview. Response? Crickets. My tweet announcing the exclusive interview and subsequent recording of it got virtually zero traction on these slanted social-media platforms, but elsewhere in the real world, the interview went viral. Major media picked it up, breaking news nationally \u2014 but if you were on Twitter or Facebook, you\u2019d never know it because they wrongfully restricted my content.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Just like they did to the New York Post, blocking its accurate reporting on Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop in the run-up to the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>Make no mistake; this is exactly what Communist China does to its people and President Vladimir Putin is doing right now in Russia. These repressive regimes \u2014 controlled by unaccountable brutal dictators who commit heinous human rights violations and other atrocities \u2014 censor information they deem \u201cmisinformation\u201d and punish journalists who expose the truth if they dare publish anything the government doesn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n<p>Chillingly, that\u2019s where America was headed with lightning speed if Musk hadn\u2019t intervened and purchased Twitter this week.<\/p>\n<p>The Tesla CEO fully understands \u2014 as do many conservatives \u2014 that when Big Tech says it\u2019s just censoring \u201cmisinformation,\u201d that means it disproportionally mutes conservative opinions it disagrees with. There\u2019s no fairness on these social-media networks or equal <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lication of its so-called rules, which are so blatantly biased and arbitrary they\u2019re meaningless.<\/p>\n<p>Big Tech banned Trump from its platforms because it claims he\u2019s \u201cdangerous\u201d and a threat to Democracy, but social-media networks permit the Taliban and other terrorists to have accounts. They allow human traffickers on their platforms and other nefarious actors \u2014 including the Russian government and\/or its officials, who are actively committing genocide and war crimes against the Ukrainian people as the world watches in horror.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, their \u201crules\u201d are a total joke. Hence, many conservatives got fed up with the rigged system and quit Twitter in protest, me included, as well as other platforms. Can you blame us?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/donald-trump-7.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Former President Donald Trump was banned from Twitter following the Capitol riots.\" class=\"wp-image-22091658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/donald-trump-7.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/donald-trump-7.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/donald-trump-7.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Former President Donald Trump was suspended from Twitter following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP Photo\/Jacquelyn Martin, File<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bottom line: Freedom of speech is the bedrock of a democracy.
