Will Washington pressure Silicon Valley to quell free speech?

Conservatives have warned for years about the growing anti-speech sentiment in Washington, a trend finding all too much comfort in Silicon Valley.

Twitter recently blocked Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., from promoting a campaign ad. Her “crime?” Being pro-life and attacking Planned Parenthood. The congresswoman claimed she had “fought Planned Parenthood” and “stopped the sale of baby body parts,” statements Twitter deemed too “inflammatory.” The company worried Blackburn’s pro-life stance would “evoke a strong negative reaction.”
