Joe Rogan, Rand Paul Begin Exodus From Big Tech

Prominent people, including Joe Rogan and Sen. Paul, have decided to leave social media.

Rogan announced late Sunday that he had started an account on Gettr, which is an alternative social media site.

Rogan wrote that he was here in case the social media site got even dumber. Rejoice!

One day after he was suspended for posting alleged vaccine misinformation, Dr. Robert Malone was interviewed by Rogan. On the same day that Rogan moved to Gettr, Marjorie Taylor Greene was permanently banned from the micro-blogging site for her involvement in COVID-19 misinformation.

The man who has long maintained a presence on alternative social media sites, including Gettr and Telegram, was temporarily suspended from Facebook early Monday. Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy said in a statement that it is clear any speech that does not fit Big Tech's orthodoxy gets muzzled.

McCarthy said that diversity of opinion is the key to democracy. Big Tech has amassed more power and control over more speech than any other institution in history, and that is under assault by fundamental American value.

Paul wrote an op-ed for The Washington Examiner in which he said he would quit YouTube because of the platform's history of censorship.

Paul wrote that he would begin an exodus from Big Tech. Unless I announce that viewers can see my content on rumble.com, I will no longer post videos on YouTube.

The video-sharing platform that bills itself as immune to cancel culture and attempts to provide a technological environment independent of Big Tech is called Rumble. The company and Trump Media & Technology Group formed a partnership in December.

Paul wants to eventually quit Big Tech. I created a news aggregation site called libertytree.com, which brings together writers and news in defense of small government and personal liberty.

In August, Paul was suspended by YouTube for a video in which he questioned the efficacy of cloth masks, in violation of the tech giant's COVID-19 misinformation policy.
