Meta’s Threads App is Designed to Compete With Twitter…But Censors Speech It Disagrees With

10 months ago

This past week, Mark Zuckerberg, gazillionaire owner of Facebook and Instagram’s parent company Meta, launched an app called “Threads” designed to compete with Elon Musk’s Twitter. To nobody’s surprise, Threads picked up where Facebook left off. Removing posts for violating “community guidelines.”

What, you may ask, was this egregious post that was removed because it allegedly violated Zuckerberg’s guidelines? Would it surprise you that the “illegal” post was about cocaine being found in the West Wing of the White House?

In this instance, the poster dared to report on the cocaine story while posting a picture taken from Hunter Biden’s laptop of the First Son snorting cocaine. Let it be known that young Hunter himself has admitted that he used cocaine regularly.

It would be easy to make a connection between the discovery of cocaine in the West Wing of the White House and the fact that Hunter Biden’s father is the current president of the United States. Since cocaine isn’t a substance routinely found in the business area of the White House, is it beyond reasonable to connect the dots? For Meta and Mark Zuckerberg, it apparently is.

However, as a “non-partisan,” Mark Zuckerberg treats all content the same way, correct? In other words, the political left and the political right are treated equally, correct? That would be wrong.

When Threads users attempted to follow Donald Trump Jr. on the platform, they were met with a warning:

“Are you sure you want to follow donaldtrumpjr? This account has repeatedly posted false information that was reviewed by independent fact-checkers or went against our Community Guidelines.” [emphasis added]

See how that works? Users cannot publish threads connecting the dots between Hunter Biden and cocaine being found in the White House and are warned about following the conservative son of former President Donald Trump.

Another poster, “dc-draino,” a regular poster on Twitter, announced, “We are LIVE on threads and ready to expose Biden’s corrupt government.” The same warning posted on attempts to follow Donald Trump Jr. was also attributed to dc-draino.

Threads, which falls under the Instagram app, is more than willing to sell your privacy. Under Apple’s app privacy statement for Threads, Instagram’s privacy practices allow the following to be “collected and linked to your identity”; health & fitness, purchases, financial info, location, contact info, contacts, user content, search history, browsing history, identifiers, usage data, sensitive info, diagnostics, and “other data,” whatever that means.

Several apps are more generous in their censorship policies, including Rumble, Truth Social, GETTR, and Gab.

Are you tired of having a good dose of woke mixed in with your news, information, and sports? Use Align Us and get behind companies whose political philosophy aligns with yours. Our app is available for all mobile devices to help you decide what businesses to support with your hard-earned dollars.
