The National Post reports in its Monday edition that the driving force for censorship, in Canada and elsewhere, comes from progressives and their allies in the tech oligarchy. The Post's guest columnist Joel Kotkin writes that in recent years, we have witnessed a terrifying convergence of big tech platforms with security agencies. This was most obvious during the 2020 U.S. election, when the platforms -- and quasi-party organs like National Public Radio -- hid information about the laptop of presidential candidate Joe Biden's dissolute son, Hunter Biden, which was alleged to contain evidence of corruption. Former intelligence officials dismissed the scandal as Russian "disinformation," but the laptop was later confirmed to be authentic. As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tried to do, the progressive left essentially disses even the idea of legitimate debate. They have enormous power. In some places, like Scotland, the leftist Scottish National Party is adopting a law that encourages people to report disliked speech to the police. Going forward, the greatest danger lies in the collusion between big tech and the government. Dissenting views could be wiped out as "misinformation," even if it comes from the most distinguished sources.
