We have a serious problem with online-harassment, fraud, distortion and lies by media outlets. And, many of our citizens have turned online dialogue and comment threads into pornography. Something has to be done. Fake NewsFor example, the most popular stories about the presidential election in 2016 were false: Hillary Clinton sold weapons to ISIS, The Pope endorsed Donald Trump, Ireland was accepting refugees fleeing America because Trump was elected and RuPaul, the drag queen, said he was groped by Trump. Millions of Americans share these stories believing they were true. The stories shared and viewed by Americans from more reputable...

Twitter doesn’t have a problem with “hate speech” it has a child pornography problem. While Twitter continues to purge right-leaning accounts at the behest of the Southern Poverty Law Center and other left-wing groups, it allows child pornography accounts. Twitter user @0hour has exposed the massive child pornography ring that exists on Twitter. As I was writing this article, the @0hour Twitter account was suspended. *If you happen to encounter any illicit/illegal material on Twitter or other social media platforms, immediately report it to the FBI.*

Acknowledging that "our knee-jerk notion that freedom of speech should not be stifled may have blinded us to our responsibility to prevent the promulgation of 'fake news,'" Google's chief executive Sundar Pichai said and promised "to do a better job of weeding out erroneous and misleading posts in the future." Pichai was especially hard on himself "for letting Hillary down. The more established media arbiters at CNN, NBC, CBS, etc. held as firm as they could to protect their viewers from being exposed to bogus news like the Wikileaks documents. But those of us in the Internet zone allowed our...

Hello. I have reached a conclusion all by myself and have not been in any way influenced by anybody else at all to make this video and I hope everybody understands where I'm coming from. I am going to read the statement now. "I, Dave Cullen, do hereby retract all of my previous statements concerning social media censorship..." (looks off camera) I, I can't do this, I'm sorry... (sound of repeating rifle chambering a round) Okay. I can do this... "I have now seen the error of my ways and have realized that stringent community guidelines policies on Twitter and...

Business Insider has joined other websites in dropping the comments function at the end of its articles. "Over time the value of our comments section has diminished, with a small but outspoken group increasingly resorting to name-calling and worse."

Previous attempts by Google AdSense and Facebook Audience Network saw the companies ban sites that "misrepresent, misstate or conceal information". However the proliferation of fake news during the US elections, some argued, swayed votes towards Donald Trump and prompted the social media platform and giant search engine into changing their policies. An unofficial task force of Facebook employees has reportedly taken it upon themselves to examine the company’s role in promoting these fake websites during the election.  Melissa Zimdars, assistant professor of Media and Communications at Merrimack College collected all the websites she could find which she deemed "false, misleading, clickbait-y, and/or satirical...

Google's chief executive Sundar Pichai, says it is important it and other social media businesses promote "accurate" stories to their billions of users.

I have been pondering the violence and intimidation that the Democrats have visited on Trump supporters during this past week. Portland is one of the centers of this storm of politically correct madness. I believe this is all carefully planned and designed to keep the area voting blue. How do they accomplish this? First: They have these psycho thugs on call to cause a disturbance whenever the Democrats want. The Dems let these angry anti-social people pour out their rage on innocent people because if the Dems do not let them have "room to destroy" these dangerous looney tunes will...

Hillary Clinton's Post-election agenda is not about making America great again. She already thinks as she has said in speech after speech she thinks America is still great! Great that so many white people are out of work and out of a job, great that so many children are graduating illiterate and ill equipped to handle the real world yet know all about gayness, sex, a politically correct history of mankind that brands white people and Christians as a cancer while lauding Islam and animal worship. Hillary thinks its great that in America a man who shoots a home invader...

Twitter tonight took the UNPRECEDENTED move of silencing the leading critic of Hillary Clinton, Wikileaks. Twitter took the action to mute their tweets tonight, so that just a fraction of their followers will see them, and they no longer show up in searches. Check for yourself: search Twitter for tweets by @wikileaks Spread the word.

Well FReepers tonight I had some great success when Wikileaks sent 2 tweets about the Corruption Finder from their Wikileaks Task Force account. They posted in Spanish about our new Spanish language version, which I created to help Hispanics who may not read English very well, and still want to learn about the extend of Hillary Clinton's corruption. For anybody who still hasn't seen it, the website is Corruption Finder Within a couple of hours, my account was MUTED by Twitter. The "shadow ban" - which means your tweets are muted to a HUGE amount of your users. And your...

Intimidation, harassment, and blackmail have become the norm in American politics. Why? Because it works. Kimberley Strassel, author of The Intimidation Game, explains.

China is getting more and more involved in the American movie business, and there may be some negative consequences. The Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese multinational conglomerate corporation, plans to invest billions of dollars in Hollywood’s “Big Six” studios, the China Daily reported. Wanda controls thousands of movie screens around the world and is owned by the richest man in China, billionaire Wang Jianlin.

Youtube has the right to do whatever they want. As a business, it's not "censorship". But the selective targeting of specific political opinions, and the coverup thereof is the problem. So I felt compelled to bring it to your attention. I will always be on youtube, and even doing more free content here. But soon, we will provide other platforms and opportunities to circumvent what's going on here, as voices of opposition can no longer be beholden to intolerant SJWS, hellbent on silencing them. So tune into the November 8th livestream to hear our major announcement, and find out how...

The engines of anti-democratic subversion have been grinding away for decades. The signs and portents all around us. The emergence of the scourge of political correctness and the lockstep leftist agitprop of the mainstream media, for example, are sure indicators of advancing democratic collapse. According to Reporters Without Borders, Canada ranks 18th and the U.S. 41st in its World Press Freedom Index -- a rather shabby performance for ostensibly enlightened democratic nations. Political disinformation has come to supplant journalistic integrity in a sustained effort to steer the electorate toward the socialist agenda of anti-individualism, bigger government, state welfarism and bureaucratic...

Just how desperately college and university administrators want to control what students say lest anyone take offense or feel “harassed” is revealed by a policy adopted at Iowa State University (ISU). ISU students are told that they must abide by the school’s policy against “harassment” of anyone in the university community. Students must complete a “training program” consisting of 118 slides online, covering the university’s non-harassment policies and procedures, and then pledge never to violate them. But what if a student thinks that the ISU policy goes way beyond preventing true harassment and amounts to an abridgement of his rights...

An NYU professor crusading against political correctness and student coddling was booted from the classroom last week after his colleagues complained about his “incivility,” The Post has learned. Liberal studies prof Michael Rectenwald, 57, said he was forced Wednesday to go on paid leave for the rest of the semester. “They are actually pushing me out the door for having a different perspective,” the academic told The Post...

Facebook Lets Advertisers Exclude Users by Race Facebook’s system allows advertisers to exclude black, Hispanic, and other “ethnic affinities” from seeing ads. by Julia Angwin and Terry Parris Jr. ProPublica, Oct. 28, 2016, 8 a.m. David Sleight/ProPublica Imagine if, during the Jim Crow era, a newspaper offered advertisers the option of placing ads only in copies that went to white readers. That’s basically what Facebook is doing nowadays. The ubiquitous social network not only allows advertisers to target users by their interests or background, it also gives advertisers the ability to exclude specific groups it calls “Ethnic Affinities.” Ads that...

You’re probably appalled at the American media’s shameless whoring for Hillary Clinton, asking yourself why they would so thoroughly debase their much-touted journalistic ethics. President Obama has answered that question. As reported by Agence France Presse, during a recent speech in Pittsburgh he postulated: “We are going to have to rebuild within this wild-wild-west-of-information flow some sort of curating function that people agree to. “There has to be, I think, some sort of way in which we can sort through information that passes some basic truthiness tests and those that we have to discard, because they just don’t have any...

America is often described as a society without the Old World's aristocracy. Yet we still have people who feel entitled to boss the rest of us around. The "elite" media, the political class, Hollywood and university professors think their opinions are obviously correct, so they must educate us peasants. OK, so they don't call us "peasants" anymore. Now we are "deplorables" -- conservatives or libertarians. Or Trump supporters. The elite have a lot of influence over how we see things. I don't like Donald Trump. I used to. I once found him refreshing and honest. Now I think he's a...
