    Anti-Twitter rally turns ugly as alleged Antifa thugs attack protesters

    Anti-Twitter rally turns ugly as alleged Antifa thugs attack protesters

    A rally called to promote free speech and denounce big tech censorship turned ugly Saturday in San Francisco, when hundreds of alleged Antifa counterprotesters showed up and berated and attacked demonstrators, leaving one missing a tooth.

    The conservative group Team Save America organized the event to protest Twitter, which it argues censors free speech. They planned to rally at United Nations Plaza before moving the protest to Twitter's headquarters a few blocks away. But the event quickly devolved into a shouting match and violence as hundreds of counterprotesters stormed the scene.

    Video shows one counterprotester punching Philip Anderson, an organizer of the event, knocking one of his teeth out.

    Anderson posted a picture of the aftermath on social media and said he was attacked by Antifa.

    "This is what happens when you lose free speech," Anderson said over boos as the crowd threw objects at him. "This is what happens, America. This is what our country is turning into."

    The event was canceled before it ever really got started.

    The San Francisco Police Department did not respond to a request for comment Saturday.

    Social media companies have come under fire for alleged censorship recently. Last week, for instance, Twitter put a warning on a tweet from the President that compared coronavirus to the flu, while Facebook removed the post altogether.

    As of Saturday evening, Twitter had still locked out the New York Post's account for tweeting about their reporting on Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.

    Facebook, meanwhile, said it is reducing distribution of the Post's reporting on its platform.

    This is really getting out of hand. I'll repeat what I said in AJ's thread:

    You know, until Trump was elected, there was no 'fact checking' or censoring by social media. You could pretty much post whatever and people sorted it out for themselves. But since the left really thinks that misinformation on fb was the reason they lost (not even close) all of a sudden you have social media censoring everything. Mainly conservative everything.

    Which bares (with clarity) that the Liberals cannot have people think for themselves. Hello Covid mandates. Can this picture be any less blurry? Only the deceived can't see this.
