In the last two weeks, the rollout of the ‘Twitter Files’ confirmed what many people already knew about the government’s role in colluding with tech companies to censor free speech online.

The files showed extensive coordination between Twitter executives and middle management and officials at the Department of Homeland Security, which attempted to roll out a ‘Disinformation Board’ last year that was scrapped due to public scrutiny.

The focal point of the issue occurred when Twitter censored a New York Post article that revealed the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, effectively tipping the scales in Joe Biden’s favor in the 2020 Presidential election.

Today, President Trump rolled out a pro-free speech platform after announcing that he would run for President in 2024 last month.

The platform included provisions that aim to reign in both big tech censorship and censorship on college campuses, as well as holding government bureaucrats accountable who have suppressed free speech.

Revolver news laid out Trump’s pro-free speech platform.
