The Collusion Between Twitter, Google in Silencing the Pinterest Investigation is Cartel Behavior

To quickly recap,

Pinterest had a covert policy of censoring conservatives. The policy was exposed by Live Action, a pro-life group that was a target of Pinterest censorship, and by Project Veritas.

Since then, YouTube (Google) and Twitter have shut down Veritas efforts to broadcast material about the investigation.

Unbelievable. @Youtube is now deleting content it doesn't want people to see. Sounds pretty Orwellian to us. https://t.co/dPw1HlRpGl

Beyond the specific censorship here, there is the spectacle of two dot coms protecting a third, by censoring an investigation of its misconduct, this looks a whole lot like cartel behavior. And as investigations of illegal behavior by the big dot coms move forward, this should be an element in the case.
