Censorship of orthodox Christians and social conservatives by Big Tech has now become routine. Examples from just one recent week include a theology professor at Houston Baptist University who received notice from Facebook that his account had been suspended because of comments he made on President Biden s transgender policies. The relatively benign Daily Citizen of Focus on the Family was locked out by Twitter for simply noting that a Biden appointee to high office is a transgender woman, that is, a man who believes he is a woman. Meanwhile, YouTube erased thousands of hours of videos of the admittedly more combative LifeSite News, along with 300,000 of the site s followers, for unstated but easily imagined reasons. Stripe, TransferWise, and other financial Big Tech corporations have frozen the accounts and donor lists of like-minded groups.
