Normally I refuse to read, use or quote anything written on Twitter as a matter of principle. Twitter banned me three times and robbed me of a 12,000 strong following because their censorship czars found my research and opinions too hot to handle.
Today I was delighted to read, via Fox News, about Lulu Cheng Meservey’s robust defence of Substack writers.
She expresses exactly the attitude all social media platforms should be adopting.
The recent burst of cancel culture denies a broad spectrum of opinion, crippling creative writing and independent thought. It has resulted in a narrowing of the narratives until truth has been obscured or lost completely from communications.
Here, at Substack, I have a very small account with 725 subscribers who receive my newsletters free of charge. I am certainly not earning a fortune for myself or Substack so I appreciate the opportunity to express myself freely without censorship or punitive interference.
I encourage all my readers to check out Lulu’s recent online battles and support her efforts to maintain a fair policy for Substack writers, big and small.
Lulu Cheng Meservey's recent thread on Threadreader.
Great outcome. An apology.
👏👏👏👏 and THAT is the proper reaction and public response that should be occurring, to the laughable, lazy researching, parody, that's passed off as "journalism", these days. #rightsaidlulu #journalismcorruption #mediafrauds
