Tech giants targeting conservatives harms discourse

US tech censorship has implications for how every Australian lives their lives, according to Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton. “An interesting legal and philosophical debate over censorship is developing in America and it has implications for how all of us in Australia live our lives," he said. “Social media platforms have become the largest vectors of transmitting information which makes the control over that flow so very important.” Mr Houghton said conservatives deserved answers on why out-of-line left wing commentary seldom gets censored. “Very few conservatives blindly agree with every single Trump sentiment,” he said. “The antidote to a bad argument is a good argument, not no argument at all.”
