Big Tech Censors Air Force Veteran’s Inspiring Story: Report

An Air Force Veteran was allegedly blocked by a Big Tech social media site for posting about student loan debt.

Gretchen Smith, an Air Force Veteran, founded Code of Vets to honour her father. He died from post-traumatic stress disorder at the age of 57. Smith shared Smith’s inspirational story on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

Smith stated that student loan forgiveness is unfair for those who have already paid off their loans or not gone to college.

“I am not responsible for your student debt. Growing up in poverty, NC was where I grew. Ate from a garden, name was on community Angel tree for Christmas, bought clothes from yard sales & if I was lucky, on a rare occasion Sky City,” she tweeted. “I joined the Air Force then went to college. I made it happen.”

She was suspended from LinkedIn because violated the platform’s policy on “hate speech.”

“I was locked out of @LinkedIn just now for this exact post below,” she tweetedIncluded a LinkedIn screenshot. “It went viral. It’s the second time that this platform targeted me. This has left me frustrated and disillusioned. Our blood, sweat, and tears have secured freedom of speech. This has got to stop.”

Smith claimed she was fired because Smith shared her story.

“What am I doing wrong?” She asked. She asked me about my life. It was how I grew. This is how I believe that everyone should be responsible for paying their bills. I am being punished. This is why I think it’s unacceptable that Big Tech holds such great power.

LinkedIn replied that they recognize there might be occasions when [they] don’t get it right,” and added that she could appeal the decision. 

“I’m not seeing Democrats being censored. I’m seeing conservatives censored,” Smith told Fox News. “They’ve got 100% control over our freedom of speech right now on these platforms, and I find that to be very scary.”

Smith stated that widespread forgiveness of student loan debt would not solve people’s problems.

According to her, “Americans are not interested in seeing student debt eliminated.” “It’s not going to do them a service. They will actually be hurt.”

Her motto was hard work is the key to success.

She said, “If your work is hard and consistent, and persistent, then you can do it,”
