He may lean towards the Left, but he offers a balanced presentation on-stage. His first Netflix special was a success. \u201cSame Time Tomorrow,\u201d Last year, and is now selling out clubs on his current \u201cClass Act\u201d tour.<\/p>\n<p>He even snared a coveted interview on the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/5oMbO3U75dlt9Ghy9ip2NW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Rogan Experience\u201d in 2022.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s R-rated, no doubt, and while he dabbles in culture war issues he doesn\u2019t pledge allegiance to either side of the aisle. He\u2019s quick to poke the woke Left, and in the next breath embrace a progressive narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Morril has just learned that certain jokes are not allowed on major platforms. Elon Musk, a free-speech friend, shared a heated Twitter message about a small comedy piece that was pulled by Team Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not happy, nor should he be.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is how you build a following on these applications and keep pushing the goal posts in.

The vague guidelines used by social media giants are infuriating, and they\u2019re purposely fuzzy enough to allow for a greater range of censorship.<\/p>\n<p>This approach is used by authoritarians to persuade citizens to self-censor. It works.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s comedians need social media to support their careers. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Twitter are the most popular platforms for stand-up comedians to promote their shows, grow their followings, and try out new material.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram and its co. need creators like Morril in order to stock their digital shelves. It\u2019s hypocritical for the same tech giants to arbitrarily claim a specific sketch or image is off-limits.\u00a0And, as is often the case, there\u2019s little chance for appeal or clarity on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Big Tech censorship is inextricably linked to Cancel Culture, a scourge against free expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some comedians believe Cancel Culture to be a myth. Chelsea Handler believes a comedian should not be allowed to use Cancel Culture. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/is-this-why-chelsea-handler-went-woke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stop being racist<\/a> And he or she&#8217;ll be fine.\u00a0Marc Maron believes comedians who crow about censorship are a laughing stock <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/marc-maron-cancel-culture-right-wing-fascists\/\">are the problem<\/a>Not the censors.<\/p>\n<p>Morril won\u2019t be the last comedian to find his work censored on social media. Big Tech&#8217;s censorial policies will be reexamined if more comedians discuss it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don\u2019t have to be a conservative comic to feel Big Tech\u2019s wrath.
