Whilst looking for more digital mudslinging, I noticed something was different...
What I posted on yesterday, about the heated exchange between gubernatorial candidate Kevin Cho Tipton and Younity supporter Jared M. Torres has mostly vanished from Rasheed Shotuyo gubernatorial facebook group. Mostly, in regards to Tipton's comments.
I suppose some evidence exists as Tipton writes, at 1:59 a.m.:
So there is no confusion: I believe that Rasheed is a great person, an honest
and hardworking individual and a great candidate for governor.-tipton
Possible leaving someone, who never saw the exchange, to wonder: "Why would there be confusion about how Tipton feels?" and "Why is Tipton making sure he's understood at 2 o'clock in the morning?"
Or wait, maybe it could leave someone to wonder why (before Tipton posts anything) Torres calls him out saying,
...But why must you bring up about what "people supposedly say about him or his
running mates?" It seems to me that You in fact are trying to imply that; no one
else.
Although it’s unclear who censored the wall or if it's self-censorship; regardless it is, never-the-less, censorship.
I suppose the standards of free speech -- that is, being free to say whatever you’d like and being free to face the consequences -- don't exist when it comes to SG elections, or Facebook or a combination of the two.
Perhaps it was a backroom deal (which seems unlikely while Torres' comments still exist): maybe it was a cowardice attempt by a commenter to save face. We may never know.
But it still exists here like a stain in your toilet, that no matter how hard you scrub and clean it will never go away.
