Why the Censors Fear Information Freedom – Epoch Times Commentary

This is the age of censorship, pushed by government and interests and enacted by wholly-captured Big Tech firms.

If an issue is important to a powerful interest and prevailing government priorities, the censors are tasked to get to work.… Censorship is the tribute that lies pay to truth.
