Censorship

Though the Biden administration suggested it would not implement a federal COVID-19 verification system, Big Tech has taken the reins and plans to step in as Big Brother. Google and Apple have announced updates that will allow users to display their coronavirus vaccination status.

YouTube just froze Sen. Rand Paul's YouTube channel. That's just wrong. Small-minded. Counterproductive. YouTube says Paul violated their COVID-19 misinformation policy when he told an interviewer, “Most of the masks you get over the counter don't work ... virus particles are too small and go right through.” Paul didn't make that up. Properly worn N95 masks are effective, but two peer-reviewed…

Demonetization, the act of prohibiting channels from profiting off their videos, is one of YouTube’s censorship tools used against creators.

Are they still protesting in Cuba? I don't know. The Cuban government has shut off the Cuban people's internet. The big demonstrations began four weeks ago, sparked, curiously, by a rap song. The key lyric is: “Freedom! No more Doctrine!” “Doctrine” refers to the “constant cycle of propaganda” from the government, explains Cuban emigre Alian Collazo in my newest video.

The resulting violation of privacy is so far-reaching that there’s now a debate over the ethics of Apple’s plans. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which describes itself as “the leading nonprofit organization defending civil liberties in the digital world,” said it was an “understatement” to say the organization was “disappointed by…

Blaze Media’s Allie Beth Stuckey was locked out of her Twitter account on Thursday after she tweeted that Olympian Laurel Hubbard is “still a man.”

Former President Donald Trump and everyday Americans are now piling on Big Tech for their egregious acts of censorship. Trump has amended his lawsuits against Big Tech corporations and executives to include comments from what appears to be a huge grassroots army of 65,000 Americans.

Talk about Olympic-sized censorship. Google admitted that the platform demonetized a column from former talk show host Piers Morgan that merely criticized Olympic gymnast Simone Biles for abandoning her team at the Tokyo Olympic Games.

Big Tech corporations seemingly censor people for holding the wrong political views every day, with former President Donald Trump being the most notable case. But censorship isn’t just an American problem. Big Tech has targeted people throughout the world for holding the wrong opinions.

GETTR CEO Jason Miller fired back against Politico after the media outlet launched an attack against his new platform claiming that it is a hotbed for terrorist activity. Politico reported that free speech alternative platform GETTR was “inundated with terrorist propaganda spread by supporters of Islamic State.” The liberal media outlet further reported that GETTR “features…

House Republicans launched an effort to rein in Big Tech’s growing tyranny with an onslaught of new bills in a massive push to fight back against online censorship.
