Remember the iconic photo of pro-American hero Donald Trump raising his fist into the air, immediately after being shot at an open-air rally?
It’s critical to keep remembering it, considering that Big Tech companies are apparently going out of their way to censor it.
As detailed in a recent report from the Daily Mail, Representative Matt Gaetz has demanded to know why the White House has apparently been pressuring Big Tech to engage in “social media ‘erasure’” of the now-famed image of Trump.
In a rather pointed letter to feckless DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Gaetz made it rather clear that he is aware of the White House’s “self-interest” in blatant censorship of any image of Trump that appears heroic in nature.
“Given your department’s self-interest in keeping this story under wraps and your department’s history of strong-arming tech organizations to censor, please provide my office with the following information by August 16, 2024,” Gaetz wrote.
Trump himself has also called out the blatant censoring undertaken on behalf of giants such as Google and Facebook.
“Facebook has just admitted that it wrongly censored the Trump ‘attempted assassination photo,’ and got caught … Same thing for Google. They made it virtually impossible to find pictures or anything about this heinous act. Both are facing big backlash over censorship claims,” Trump declared.
Facebook had least had the sense to admit the “error” its algorithms made, however lame the excuse sounded, though Google offered an even lamer excuse.
The Internet search giant claimed that it was “working on improvements to ensure [its] systems are more up to date.”
Is that so? More “up to date” in which regard, exactly?
Frankly, it’s quite distressing that Big Tech is already making moves like this, as such moves do not bode well for November.
After all, Big Tech blatantly censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, despite its very real truth, which undoubtedly impacted the outcome of the election.
In fact, such blatant interference may have impacted the election just enough for Trump to have lost just enough votes in critical swing states.
Thus, even if every single ballot was legitimate, more than one ballot was illegitimately cast in the sense that it occurred immediately after Big Tech disinformation regarding supposed Russian disinformation.
Now, Big Tech is apparently censoring very real images of Trump’s heroic response to an assassination attempt, the type of photo that warrants a place in history books.
Which is perhaps why Big Tech entities appear so keen to erase it, 1984-style.
Big Tech billionaires may have been reportedly backing Trump more than before, especially as Biden continued to cling to his presidential run, but now that Kamala is in play, it seems that they too are reverting back to their election-meddling ways.
