Exciting news today regarding action to weed out online extremism with the breaking news that Google, Facebook, Twitter and the other ones have responded to May’s call to crackdown on extremists online by immediately shutting down the Conservative Party homepage and other accounts.
“It’s about time something was done,” LCD Views’ social media specialist commented, “have you seen the bile and drivel that gets published on those extremist outlets? Just the stories about the NHS alone, never mind all the Brexit propaganda.”
It was expected that the new fake news watchdog, being set up by the Prime Minister, would take any of the articles and memes published on Tory party platforms down the moment they appear.
“At least the fake news watchdog will be free to focus on anything at all ever published by Newscorp and the Daily Mail, the Torygraph, the Onion, the Canary, the Gruniad and those occasional moments Owen Jones loses his mind over Brexit.”
Although some other social media analysts have speculated that with the recent spate of bad news stories regarding prominent Conservative party figures, the big beasts of the internet could have saved themselves the time and effort.
“Most Tories are busy deleting their entire internet history right now, they’re so up to their necks in potential blowback.
