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.
I‘m not aware of that having occurred yet.
What’s the ToS strikes game? Blacklisting
The “Alternative Influence Network” report? A blacklist recommendation
Operation Chokepoint? Blacklist
Trust & Safety Star Chambers? Blacklisters
Cancel Culture? Blacklisting
I’m fighting this rebirth of McCarthyism as LeftCarthyism.
I detest *anything* that behaves like McCarthyism. If you’re confused by my politics, that’s the main clue. Ask:
Q: “What would a rational liberal/progressive do if other liberals/progressives fell under the spell of McCarthy and ceased to be liberal/progressive?”
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?

This is a Big Tech information coup. This is digital civil war.
I, an editor at The New York Post, one of the nation’s largest papers by circulation, can’t post one of our own stories that details corruption by a major-party presidential candidate, Biden.
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.
It’s scary enough tweeting something approximating my thoughts. Speaking freely for hours on end is too risky in these McCarthy-esque times.
So cool. What are we thinking? Solitary confinement? Executions?
I’ve 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.🙏
#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.

Do not hide behind the right not to testify against yourself either formally or informally. It is important to tell your inquisitor to f--- right off, albeit in the most civil way possible.
And...to prepare for economic ruin. I think a lot about that part. Economic ruin. Right.
That’s 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. I’m not kidding. They ain’t done with us yet as everyone in the “dork web” stood their ground.
Welcome back buddy.
This isn’t about race. It’s not about COVID. Or Vaccines.
It’s about elections, narratives and secrets. And they have lists of *everyone* who doesn’t punk out.
This is LeftCarthyism. And it’s not going to end until we stop talking about Biden’s age & decline. #StayStrong
