In An Article Published Friday, Cnn Reporter Oliver Darcy Declared That Claims Of Social Media Censorship Of Conservative Voices Are Simply “false.”
“President Donald Trump on Friday morning claimed in a tweet that social media companies are ‘silencing millions of people,’ exacerbating a longstanding paranoia from conservatives who have for years erroneously accused social media companies of bias and censorship,” Oliver Darcy wrote.
