I love deep state censorship.

0:03.2

So do I. It's one of my favorite things. It keeps me safe. I love the government. I love the government getting involved in social media. And I love social media, uh, bending the knee to what the government wants. Well, because guys, you don't understand. There are just, there are just some topics that are just too, too sensitive. There are just some things I just I don't want to hear

0:21.1

personally. And I personally like it when government censors things under the guise of seemingly

0:25.8

noble pursuits like eliminating hate speech or protecting children. Yeah, that's that's always good.

0:31.2

1:34.6

Yes, it is. It's a bit too on the nose for me. It's a bit too on the nose for me. I'll just tell you what's happening.

1:40.2

TikTok's new hate speech manager is from the IDF.

1:43.9

Guys, like,

1:45.3

her name.
