Excerpt From Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship: “Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube wield immense, if not unprecedented, power to shape the interpretation of public events; to censor, delete, or disappear information; and to control what people see or do not see.”
Incidentally, Black users have long been censored on social media sites by administrators who exploit their content when it’s convenient for the platforms they manage. These 21st-century content sharing powerhouses are merely symptomatic of the legacy media preceding them, who are now fighting to stay relevant by critiquing any social media companies that diminish their public influence.
Humor: Perhaps what a social media censoring agent might look like when Black users are not following established protocol. It’s all about the anger and tightening the lips, respectively.
