<p>Thanks so much to James Valliant for finding this quotation. I promise to link to the podcast in which you discussed it yesterday--just as soon as Ayn Rand Center UK posts it on BitChute :)</p>

<p>As for the writings in which Benjamin and I have discussed this sort of phenomenon, in the last 2-1/2 years, first is my blog post from January 2021, soon after Parler was unjustly scapegoated and deplatformed:</p>

<p>Oh, and here's the MSNBC story I mentioned, re: Parler and Facebook:</p>
