Zero Hedge — Google Demonetizes Zero Hedge

Summary:
This is a serious mistake.The Federalist de-platformed , too. (Update: Google says not. That may have been fake news.)While I don't agree with a lot of what appears on ZH and with almost nothing that appears in the Federalist, de-platforming is not the way to go. It's corporate censorship in place of government censorship. While government censorship is prohibited by the constitution (First Amendment rights), corporate censorship is not — yet, anyway.There is the benefit here though of waking a lot of people up to the fact that it is not only the government that is potential a problem with respect to rights and liberties. So are corporate behemoths.Zero HedgeGoogle Demonetizes Zero Hedge Tyler Durden
