Under the guise of fighting “misinformation” US corporations are continuing to shut down media platforms with alternative perspectives.
On August 7 Washington based al-monitor.com reported that “Google announced it terminated 16 YouTube accounts in April that were allegedly linked to the Iranian state-sponsored International Union of Virtual Media network. The announcement was part of Google's report for the second quarter of 2020 that was released this week.”
Facebook and Twitter have also taken similar unilateral steps against Russian and Iranian media earlier this year.
Recent steps by Google once again highlight the fact that the concept of free-market and free-speech is subordinated to Western strategic interests. When NATO’s interests are at stake, their regimes do not hesitate to act in a blatantly crude manner as the dictators the NATO powers support in West Asia.
Unilateral targeting of alternative media outlets by Facebook, Twitter and Google may potentially accelerate the global drive to break their monopoly on news distribution.
