Longtime actor and comedian Rob Schneider took aim at the censorship tactics employed by Facebook and other social media companies in a tweet thread over the weekend.

Schneider, well-known for his appearances in movies such as Waterboy and Deuce Bigalow, condemned Facebook’s decision to impose a total ban on Paul Joseph Watson and Infowars, in addition to other political personalities.

Schneider is one of the few widely known performers in the entertainment industry to take a stance against political censorship.

James Woods, another actor, has been banned by Twitter for weeks now for creating content exposing the hypocrisy and political cowardice of progressives, and the social media companies under their control.

Schneider’s decision to speak out against censorship despite the plausible threat of career ramifications in left-wing Hollywood circles goes to show that popular backlash against Big Tech’s policy of mass political censorship is reaching new levels of intensity.

Facebook may be forced to make an embarrassing retraction in policy. Social media companies have occasionally been made to overturn ban decisions, such as when Twitter was forced to overturn a ban of conservative pundit Jesse Kelly in response to a backlash.

Many conservatives and First Amendment supporters have watched in frustration for years as companies like Facebook and Twitter purged their platforms of voices that criticized progressive and liberal orthodoxy.

But now more users of social media are speaking up against censorship than ever before. Rapper Snoop Dogg, incensed at the banning of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, called for his Instagram followers to post content from the Muslim cleric.

Everyday citizens without the audiences of celebrities such as Schneider and Snoop Dogg can be silenced with impunity by the liberal self-appointed Masters of the Universe.

If prominent social media users continue to speak out against the censorship tactics of the tech oligarchs, they could quickly face repercussions for their authoritarian vision of the internet.

Former president Donald Trump has issued a letter to the Screen Actor’s Guild (SAG) resigning from the union effective immediately after the SAG announced they were considering expulsion.

“I write to you today regarding the so-called Disciplinary Committee hearing aimed at revoking my union membership. Who cares!” Trump wrote in the letter addressed to SAG president Gabrielle Carteris.

“While I’m not familiar with your work, I’m very proud of my work on movies such as Home Alone 2, Zoolander and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and television shows including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Saturday Night Live, and of course, one of the most successful shows in television history, The Apprentice – just to name a few!” he continued.

“I’ve also greatly helped the cable television news business (said to be a dying platform with not much time left until I got involved in politics), and created thousands of jobs at networks such as MSDNC and Fake News CNN, among many others,” Trump added.

This is when Trump started maligning the SAG by pointing out their miserable record as a union, which is being sued by its own membership for failing to provide adequate healthcare benefits.

He wrote: “Your organization has done little for its members, and nothing for me – besides collecting dues and promoting dangerous un-American policies and ideas – as evident by your massive unemployment rates and lawsuits from celebrated actors, who even recorded a video asking, ‘Why isn’t the union fighting for me?'”

“These, however, are policy failures. Your disciplinary failures are even more egregious. I no longer wish to be associated with your union. As such, this letter is to inform you of my immediate resignation,” Trump added.

Big League Politics has reported on the film industry’s shame over having promoted Trump for so many years, helping Trump build the notoriety among the American public that allowed him to become the 45th president:

The West Hollywood City Council voted unanimously on a resolution to remove President Donald J. Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday.

“West Hollywood City council unanimously passes resolution asking the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove the Donald Trump star on Hollywood Walk of Fame,” said West Hollywood Mayor John Duran on Twitter.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will have to approve Trump’s star removal for it to be officially bar.

“The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a registered historic landmark. Once a star has been added to the Walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Because of this, we have never removed a star from the Walk,” said Leron Gubler, the Chamber’s president and CEO.

Among the stars that will certainly not be removed from Walk of Fame are those belonging to accused pedophile Kevin Spacey, and convicted rapist Bill Cosby.

Apparently, as long as one apologizes, Hollywood has no problem with alleged pedophilia.

Trump couldn’t have become president, changed the country forevermore, and exposed the Left’s treacherous agenda in the eyes of tens of millions of Americans without the help of the entertainment industry. They have now outlived their usefulness, but the ironic role they have played in promoting America’s revival will not be forgotten.
