If Martin Luther King Jr. Were Alive Today, Big Tech Would've Already Banned Him

If big tech censorship existed during the civil rights movement, would Martin Luther King Jr. have been censored?                                                                                                                                                                                                        [If Martin Luther King Jr. Were Alive Today, Big Tech Would've Already Banned Him]( If big tech censorship existed during the civil rights movement, would Martin Luther King Jr. have been censored? [Matt Agorist]( Jan 18 Earlier this month, Donald Trump and 70,000 of his supporters were wiped off of Facebook and Twitter in a coordinated move by big tech censors. This move was largely praised by the left as the vitriol spewed by many of these folks, including the president, was inflammatory, offensive, and [some of it even violent.]( While calls for unprovoked violence should never be tolerated, the idea of silencing people for their peaceful political views — even if they are really stupid — is never a good idea. In fact, multiple anti-Trump folks were swept up in the censorship dragnet as well, including entirely peaceful folks. Showing the slippery slope of widespread blanket censorship policies is the fact that just days after Trump and his Q base were deplatformed, a man who has devoted his entire life to peace and liberty, [Dr. Ron Paul, was also censored.]( After news of his censorship began to make headlines, Facebook backtracked and claimed it was "a mistake." But was it really? In an email to the Free Thought Project, Dr. Paul said he wasn't "exactly buying their explanation," adding "It seems like Facebook is testing to see just how far they can go with banning anyone who doesn’t toe the establishment line." Indeed, this is a test that we've seen play out time and again — a test, in which TFTP has found itself too many times. If big tech can censor one of the most antiwar and peaceful political figures of our time, imagine what they would have done with this technology during the civil rights movement. As it is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we find it a prudent choice to examine this very question.
