MRC's Brent Bozell Slams Social Media Censorship

[See NewsBusters for more.] Media Research Center President Brent Bozell on Wednesday condemned efforts by social media giants such as Facebook and Twitter to censor conservative thought. Talking to FBN’s Stuart Varney, Bozell explained the scope of the problem: “We are very much in unchartered waters. I don't know that ever in the history of man has so much power been concentrated in only a handful of companies that could determine worldwide what is and isn't acceptable speech and thought.” If these companies want to avoid the threat of government regulation, Bozell identified the steps needed to be taken: “They have to show clarity... What are their speech codes? They have to show some kind of an ability for people to understand transparency, how they are doing, what they are doing, and conservatives have to have an equal footing.”
