Social media users who post or share racist or anti-gay comments will face jail under newly proposed rules. Judges are being advised to order harsh punishments for those found guilty of stirring up ‘hatred’ against racial, religious, or sexual minority groups. Hatred in these cases is a euphemism for criticizing someone or hurting their feelings. […]
The criteria for Youtube censorship includes “controversial religious or supremacist content”, and “controversial and inflammatory content”, which is totally subjective. Youtube makes the call, and they are biased and political. The Southern Poverty Law Center, an extremist group known for inciting hatred and division, acts as a trusted flagger of video content. Republicans defend Google against anti-trust issues because Google funds campaigns, the media and NGOs. […]
California: Bill SB 1424 requires all social media and internet websites that have physical presence in the state to verify news stories that are shared on their websites using fact checkers. The goal of the bill is to silence critics of official narratives. California State Senator Richard Pan, who was behind the infamous mandatory vaccine bill of 2015, is introducing this legislation. […]
YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki is planning to add a Wikipedia information box to every video that is focused around what YouTube considers to be a conspiracy theory. The goal is to counter the information with ‘reliable’ information. Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, and his army of liberal colleagues, will determine what is truth and they will label anything that strays from the approved narrative as fake or a conspiracy theory. […]
Jared Taylor, founder of American Renaissance, believes that the white race has a slightly higher IQ and a lower crime rate than the black race. For expressing his views, Taylor’s Twitter account was suspended, and he is now suing Twitter to test the strength of freedom-of-speech. Please be aware that, although this case involves an unpopular view relating to race, the underlying principle can be – and will be – applied to the free expression of opinion on many other topics as well – including religion, morality, health, personal relationships, and political opinion.

Paul Romano documents the purging of truth-community videos from YouTube and Facebook, because the controllers want to prevent people from questioning mainstream propaganda. Google is adjusting its search engine to make sure that certain words are difficult to find or show only negative comments when a search is made. Romano concludes that this is a sign that a major contrived event is planned, and the controllers do not want any coverage on the Internet that questions the official narrative. [Orwell’s 1984 has arrived.] […]
David Hogg, the poster child of the teen activist group from the Florida school shooting, started a Twitter campaign against the NRA, threatening the organization’s corporate donors, including Fed Ex and their customers. Twitter announced it would ban anyone who “harasses” Hogg, and his teen cohorts. This amounts to protecting him from disagreement or criticism on Twitter. The targeted corporate sponsors already have caved in to the pressure. […]
George Soros is demanding that the European Union regulate social media because voters’ minds are being controlled and “manipulated” as populism is gaining favor in Europe and the US. He warned that an alliance between big tech companies and regulators in the US could lead to totalitarian control. His concerns are deeply hypocritical as he has been pushing the globalist agenda for control for decades by funding non-profit groups. He is now the subject of an ‘anti-Soros’ bill in his native Hungary, as the country seeks to limit his influence and meddling. […]
Conrado Miranda, a former senior software engineer for Twitter, says that Twitter acts in accordance with Terms-of-Service agreements with foreign governments – notably China – and routinely bans users at their request. He also revealed that China often will hack Twitter if it fails to comply with the request. […]
Twitter suspended the account of Congressional candidate, Chris DePizzo, after he tweeted that his Democrat rival was a “liberal media darling” who ignores the concerns of his own district. He also said that his opponent’s donors in California and New York were more important to him than his constituents. Clearly, Twitter is no longer just a provider of a channel of communications, it has assumed the role of censor as well – and an extremely biased one at that. […]
Jason Fyk says that when Twitter shut down President Trump from its platform for 10 minutes, it was to test public reaction. Twitter may be planning to take down his account permanently. Facebook recently blocked the opportunity for hundreds of thousands of people to make money from their Internet content. Fyk calls for regulations, but can we trust Congress? The problem is far more systemic than that. The solution starts with draining the swamp in schools and government. […]
Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, campaigned for Net Neutrality, claiming it was “indispensable to free expression”. To show his dedication to free expression, Twitter now is on a roll banning prominent right-wing figures. [The Trump administration said that net neutrality rules needed to be abandoned so the FCC would have the authority to prevent content providers like Twitter from censoring commentary. Now we get to see if the FCC actually will follow through on this promise. So far, not word.] […]
