Pre-election censorship frenzy explained

Thursday night saw an explosive final debate between President Trump and former Vice President and Democratic nominee Joe Biden as the US presidential election nears. Meanwhile, a disturbing trend of manipulative practices on social media continues to mean ever-tighter restrictions on the free flow of information and to dampen the spread of dissident viewpoints. RT America’s John Huddy brings us highlights from the final presidential debate and other significant turns in the 2020 race to the White House. Then Tobin Smith of Transformity Research and former USTR official Steve Gill share their reactions. Then investigative journalist and “Boom Bust” co-host Ben Swann and “Eat the Press” host Steve Malzberg weigh in on the recent rash of censorship and tightening restrictions on Twitter and Facebook as the social media giants seek to mitigate alleged misinformation on their platforms ahead of the election.
