Aside from President Donald Trump, his supporters are said to have also been flagged, even censored, by social media platforms. This includes Fil-Ams who did not take part in the riot at the US Capitol. Steve Angeles reports. What is Censorship?

Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups. Censorship by the government is unconstitutional. -- ACLU

Jimmy Kimmel's "Unnecessary Censorship: Obama Edition" President Obama has been letting loose a bit lately. He recently sat down for an interview with Vanity Fair in which he admits that he curses a lot. He says he uses more foul language than he probably should. Obama says his staff has often overheard him going on profanity-laced rants. To get a taste of what it’s like, Jimmy went through the past eight years of bleeps and blurs involving our President and compiled this all-Obama edition of “Unnecessary Censorship.” Growing up, the only time I swore (or go on profanity-laced rants) was when I was playing tennis - only playing singles of course. I only cursed at myself under my breath, never at my opponent. I didn't even swear when I got hit in my right ear by a 100+ mph serve during a league match -- by my doubles partner! OUCH! Otherwise, the only time I swore was when I was about to do a Bruce Lee impression and kick someone's @$$!
