Joe Pagliarulo returned to social media Friday after taking time to enjoy the 4th of July Holiday, saying the technology platforms are being used to control America’s value system and Freedom of Speech.

“I took a few days off recently, and I thought a lot about social media… I didn’t do a lot of posting… It put things in perspective for me. Social media invited us into these apps. They made us feel really important. Once they got us, it took about 10 years, we realized they were giving us a boundary system that our government would start to use,” said Pags.

“Yes, social media was our trial balloon,” he added. “This was the game. Get people locked into social media and these rules. You can’t bully, you can’t misgender, things like that.”

“This was about controlling the value system in America. The value system which is a Judeo-Christian value system,” he concluded.
