What Does It Mean To Have Social Media Followers?

We live in an age of abundant censorship. From Joe Rogan to Dan Bongino, platforms are becoming the gatekeepers. What draws you to a social media account?

Biden Calls Facebook “Killers,” Psaki Supports Censorship. Are Republicans Smart Enough To Ride This To Victory in 2022?

The comments from White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki aren’t unbelievable. They are very believable. Too believable, really.

Now certainly, people can/have/do lie on social media, but the question is should the federal government be watching your posts and then censoring them for “public good?”)
