Last week, the newly created House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government heard from former Twitter executives about how government agencies, including the FBI, coerced them into censoring content on the platform.
Those on the Right side of the political aisle are cheering this development as vindication of their claims of shadow-banning and censorship and are optimistic that all will be set right under the helm of this new committee.
But exposing and taking steps to prevent the weaponization of our government agencies against the American people shouldn’t be a partisan issue. The same tactics used to silence conservatives can easily be used to silence voices from the Left when elected offices change party hands.
