The "unaccountable billionaires" in Silicon Valley switched President Donald Trump off which is a clear and “grotesque interference” in democracy, according to Spiked Online editor Brendan O’Neill. President Donald Trump has been removed from multiple social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter where he was one of the latter’s most popular users.
Mr O’Neill said “big tech oligarchies” have been censoring people for years, but suspending President Trump’s accounts demonstrates they are “willing to interfere with the democratic process”. “This is the sitting president of the United States, the most powerful man in the free world, democratically elected, and these unaccountable billionaires in Silicon Valley switched him off,” he said. “That is a grotesque interference in freedom of speech and democratic engagement.
