Twitter just temporarily locked the personal account of White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEanny. This appears to be because she referenced the Biden-Ukraine report by the New York Post.

You could argue that this is even more extreme than what they did with the New York Post simply because of her position in government. But I am not surprised by any of this. I’ve been saying for the past several years that this censorship was going to get more and more extreme.
While I said these things, Republicans and much of the so-called “conservative” media sat around with their thumbs up their asses. Many of them spewed gibberish about how these big tech companies could do what they want because they are private corporations. They also spent weeks trying to argue how they weren’t racists after Charlottesville while all sorts of people were being banned from speaking on the Internet.
Considering how far they are going with this, there is a good chance Twitter will just block or ban Trump on election day after he declares victory. That seems to be the direction where all of this is heading in.
