It seems to me that "Tecquisition" rolls off the tongue better. Same idea, though.
TechCarthyism, n.: A movement using mainstream tech-platforms to socially engineer thought-level compliance to a radical political agenda through Star Chambers (e.g. "Trust and Safety"), Shadowbans, Show-Trials (court of public opinion), Deplatforming & Uneven Enforcement of ToS.
I had forgotten that Eric already coined the term "Thinkquisition". I guess TechCarthyism it is, then.
Just to be clear: TechCarthyism is (*so-far*) a particular form of LeftCarthyism used to carry out the Thinkquisition. But it could conceivably be used by a right leaning platform against the left. McCarthy was, of course, conservative.
Iâm not aware of that having occurred yet.
Whatâs the ToS strikes game? Blacklisting
The âAlternative Influence Networkâ report? A blacklist recommendation
Operation Chokepoint? Blacklist
Trust & Safety Star Chambers? Blacklisters
Cancel Culture? Blacklisting
Iâm fighting this rebirth of McCarthyism as LeftCarthyism.
I detest *anything* that behaves like McCarthyism. If youâre confused by my politics, thatâs the main clue. Ask:
Q: âWhat would a rational liberal/progressive do if other liberals/progressives fell under the spell of McCarthy and ceased to be liberal/progressive?â
A:Maybe this.
Blacklists Matter.
I want you to imagine that your private phone calls start dropping every time your uncle mentions Building 7, Jean Seberg, Hunter Biden or The Wuhan Institute of Virology.
@jack: Huh?

I want my crazy pro-trump friends & family to be able to say their crazy stupid ass Trump-Train Bullshit. In fact, it is essential to me. I want to be able to rebut it. I don't want to be protected against "potentially harmful" articles by a Publisher pretending to be a platform.
This isn't targeted harrassment of an individual. This is a political race for president of the united states.
This is no longer a Platform in any meaningful sense. It is time to apply the standards of a Publisher. This is insane.
The most unsafe thing on Twitter is "Trust and Safety"; exactly as you would expect.
To whom do I report "Trust and Safety" @jack? Because they are out of control and they deserve, if left to continue in their censorous excesses, to destroy Twitter as it becomes a "Publisher".
I am deliberately posing here with actual âpotentially harmfulâ objects found in my home. I still have minor in the house.
Please @jack, let me know if Iâm violating Twitterâs Terms of Service as understood by your trusted Partners.
I am so disappointed in you. This is *wrong*. https://t.co/jqIXQtuNvC

So cool. What are we thinking? Solitary confinement? Executions?
Iâve never liked the guy, but I have plenty of folks I love who think he is saving America.
So sign me up & let some conservative Joe or Jane off your list of families to ruin.đ
#BlackListsMatter #LeftCarthyism
Trumpism fills the reality shaped hole in our journalism left by LeftCarthyism.
You cannot rid yourself of the former without eradicating the latter. And we *must* rid ourselves of the former.
Now.
It is time to again start reporting the news.
It is time for a return to a second version of the Church and Pike Committees.
To regulate speech companies or provide a public version of Twitter, FaceBook and Google as well as ISPs so that our speech cannot be throttled according to anything other than the laws of our nation.
On caving in to loyalty oathes & disavowing friends under pressure:
Albert Einstein to those facing unjust Bullies, Mobs & Institutions: prepare for economic ruin & Jail or slavery. There is no third option.

Thatâs just @joerogan. He just loooooves that cloak and dagger stuff. ;-)
Heh. All love. But I warned ya precisely because I love ya. Next time take it seriously. Iâm not kidding. They ainât done with us yet as everyone in the âdork webâ stood their ground.
Welcome back buddy.
This isnât about race. Itâs not about COVID. Or Vaccines.
Itâs about elections, narratives and secrets. And they have lists of *everyone* who doesnât punk out.
This is LeftCarthyism. And itâs not going to end until we stop talking about Bidenâs age & decline. #StayStrong
