Tech Companies Bring Censorship to a New Level

There was once a time when tech companies looked for ways to block viruses and malware. Consumers wanted a way to make sure someone was not spying on their Internet activities. As a result we turned to companies such as Norton, Malwarebytes, and McAfee.

However, since the early 2000s and the rise of websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, people face a new type of spying. Sites track our every move on the Internet to know what kind of ads to serve. Facebook has developed a way to even know a users political leaning.

If the tracking were not enough, now certain websites are blocking certain types of discussion. We are specifically talking about being able to share firearm plans on Facebook. Attempt to post a link to codeisfreespeech.com on your Facebook timeline, and the post could be marked as spam and removed. Attempt to send a link to the site through Facebook messenger, and the URL will be blocked.
