   With the restoration of free speech protections on Twitter, panic has   
   grown on the left that its control over social media could come to an   
   end. Now, some of the greatest advocates of censorship in Congress are   
   specifically warning Facebook not to follow Twitter in restoring free   
   speech to its platform.   
      
   In a chilling letter from Reps. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., André Carson,   
   D-Ind., Kathy Castor, D-Fla., and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.,   
   Facebook was given a not-so-subtle threat that reducing its infamous   
   censorship system will invite congressional action. The letter to   
   Meta’s president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, is written on   
   congressional stationery "as part of our ongoing oversight efforts."   
      
   With House Republicans pledging to investigate social media censorship   
   when they take control in January, these four Democratic members are   
   trying to force Facebook to "recommit" to censoring opposing views and   
   to make election censorship policies permanent. Otherwise, they   
   suggest, they may be forced to exercise oversight into any move by   
   Facebook to "alter or rollback certain misinformation policies."

   This is why The Democratic party should change its name.  It is   
   definitely not democratic.
