Rose McGowan calls on big tech companies to ‘stop the censorship’

"Just because they’re on the Right doesn’t mean it’s not true," McGowan wrote, further claiming that the storming of the Capitol Building in Washington DC on Wednesday was a "mass media distraction."

Big tech platforms have begun purging conservative and far-right accounts since the deadly riot at the Capitol, following findings that fringe elements were at the vanguard of the attack. President Donald Trump himself was removed from the platform, with Twitter alleging that his tweets could incite violence.

The censorship, however, did not end with individual users, with Google and Apple both removing the Parler app from their app stores and Amazon suspending Parler from their web hosting service.

McGowan declared US freedom to be "an illusion" and implied that both sides of the political spectrum have been enamored by cult ideologies.

In an attached video, McGowan held one of her arms in the air as she complained that "big tech is censoring the hell out of everything" while reassuring her audience that they are "gonna get through this."

Her video message became more cryptic as it went on, with McGowan saying "watch out, this needed to happen. Keep going, it's not what you think it is, and what's going into the office is not what it seems." It is unclear which office McGowan is referring to.

McGowan finished her message by stating "stop the censorship, free Julian Assange, and free Britain."

The tweet came a few days after she attacked former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her comments calling upon Republicans to abandon Trump in the wake of the Capitol Hill riot, arguing that the United States is an "oligarchy" and that Clinton is "one of its leaders." She also accused her husband, former President Bill Clinton, of being a rapist.

McGowan is no stranger to censorship herself. When she came forward with allegations of rape against disgraced entertainment mogul Harvey Weinstein and claimed that many prominent names in Hollywood knew of his behaviour, McGowan found herself censored by Twitter, with the social media platform issuing her a 12-hour ban. Her story was also originally allegedly suppressed by the National Enquirer. Amazon Studios, which is owned by Amazon, cancelled a project McGowan was collaborating with them on as a result of the allegations as well.

McGowan claimed within a few hours of uploading her video that she was once again being censored by Twitter after the video could not be loaded on her phone.

McGowan accused Twitter of "relentless harassment against" her which, according to her, began four days after she made the original allegations against Harvey Weinstein. "The Billionaire Boys club is after me," she warned.

However, a number of users commented saying they could still see the video, and that its unavailability could be the result of poor internet connection. The video remains on Twitter as of now.
