Social Media Platforms Powerful Tools, US Possesses in Wars

 When the United States decides to go to war, it must mobilize all its sources of strength in favor of achieving its goals, no matter how immoral they may be.

The social media platforms emanating from the United States represent one of the most prominent manifestations of the power that the US possesses in its wars, on top of which are the Twitter and Facebook platforms. They work to market American propaganda and block everything that proves the falsity and deception of Washington’s justifications in wars, similar to what is happening in the war that the people of Yemen are exposed to.

The role played by US social media companies reveals that the principles of freedom and independence of capital in the US are just a trick to mislead the world, and that the US is living in a state of continuous public mobilization, within the framework of its aggressive policy towards the world.

Twitter’s blatant bias in support of American wars prompted the American Liberation Party in New Hampshire to demand that the Twitter administration be held accountable, accusing it of complicity in the crimes of genocide against the people of Yemen at the hands of the coalition. This was after the publication of leaks revealing the complicity of the Twitter administration with the Pentagon to exaggerate the American military propaganda targeting Yemen.

“Twitter helped the United States and Saudi Arabia commit genocide in Yemen,” the Liberal Party said. “Tell us again how Twitter is a private company!”

Promote Executioner, Force Victim to Remain Silent

The Facebook and Twitter administrations deliberately block any photos of civilian victims in Yemen as a result of the coalition raids, under the pretext that these photos “violate publishing laws.” Whenever someone tries to talk about the horrific violations that Yemenis are subjected to, the Twitter and Facebook administrations suspend his account with the justification of “incitement to hatred.” On the other hand, the administration of Facebook and Twitter does not hesitate to impose all allegations of incitement and hatred against the people of Yemen, in a way that contradicts the most basic standards of liberal equality to allow opinion and other opinion. Which makes these companies just cheap propaganda tools in the hands of the US government.

It does not seem that the new owner of the Twitter platform, Elon Musk, intends to change these policies. Although Musk announced that “Twitter will allow everyone to post, without reservations,” expectations indicate that Musk means “freedom to publish between the poles of the conflict in the US. And if it is tolerant, it may include Western countries, and there will be no space outside the directions of the American government.

Meanwhile, the scandals of the previous management of the Twitter platform, which Musk began leaking, are nothing more than a new attempt to whiten Twitter, which is stained with the blood of the children of Yemen, and other victims around the world. The new Twitter administration is still blocking posts that expose US policies towards Yemen and Palestine. In addition to feeding America’s offensive tendencies towards China, Russia and Iran, and Twitter and Facebook adopting positions according to trends in the White House.

Social media has given the United States power. Leaders no longer feel any concern about improving America’s image in front of the world. The US policy pushed for a more brazen approach to the world. American politicians believe that they can manufacture hatred in the world without anyone being able to expose American violations.
