Censorship

The left-wing media’s Ministry of Truth — website ratings firm NewsGuard — is at it again, slamming conservative news outlets while promoting liberal rags. And conservative leaders are furious.

President Joe Biden’s new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief of Staff Kristie Canegallo has a politically leftist, pro-censorship history that should raise concerns for free speech advocates.

Conservative groups expressed doubt that the Facebook Oversight Board will direct the platform to stop its censorship in reaction to any critical comments it receives about a program that gives prominent users preferential treatment.

A new report by The Washington Free Beacon exposed how Amazon, whose web services division nuked the free speech platform Parler reportedly for “violent content,” has been peddling Nazi propaganda films.

Someday the metaverse will come … and it may be sooner than later for Disney. The corporation is reportedly exploring the potential of “headsetless augmented reality” through a “virtual-world simulator” in their Disney theme parks.

As Congress proposes more tech-regulating bills, the head of the Internet Accountability Project said Big Tech platforms’ “unchallenged growth is a threat to the conservative movement.”

Hysteria proclaiming Jan. 6, 2021, as a MAGA-fueled “insurrection” against “democracy” is strong as ever one year later. Government agencies, a university and nonprofits are all coming together to develop supposed “political violence”-predicting algorithms in response. That plan could prove seriously damaging to free speech online.

Facebook faced a firestorm of controversy after it punished a children's book publication company, Heroes Of Liberty. It has since reversed the ban, but prominent critics have questions. Facebook hasn’t been transparent about its approach to free speech, including that of mere children's books about American icons.
