Sadly, this is not the first time American tech giants have contributed to suppressing free speech. At the behest of Israel, Facebook has blocked the accounts of Palestinian activists and most recently of Gaza's Shebab News Agency. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/palestine-facebook-blocks-gaza-shehab-news-agency https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/palestine-facebook-blocks...

Whatever your political allegiances are, it is very concerning that a small number of American tech giants wield so much power with which to influence global opinion. (And before someone says "what about Trump?" No, he shouldn't have been kicked off either; both Indian Communists and American presidents have the right to free speech.)
