Soros Gave $17.6M to Leftist Group Pushing Facebook and TikTok to Censor So-Called Election Disinfo
NewsBusters ^ | 10/27/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Another group heavily financed by liberal billionaire George Soros is joining a growing network of organizations he funds calling on Big Tech to do more to censor so-called election “disinformation” before the midterms.

Leftist group Global Witness released a co-authored piece of propaganda disguised as an “investigation” with New York University’s Cyber Security for Democracy team (C4D) whining that Facebook and TikTok weren’t censoring enough. The group’s Oct. 21 press release on its report, headlined “Facebook and TikTok fail to block deceptive ads with blatant US midterms disinformation,” claimed its “experiment” was engineered to “determine how well social media platforms are living up to their promises to stop disinformation that can destabilise democratic processes.” Soros’ Open Society Foundations gave Global Witness $17,657,000 between 2016 and 2020 alone. The group has offices in London, Brussels and Washington D.C.

The group complained that TikTok “approved 90 percent of ads featuring misleading and false election disinformation” while Facebook allegedly “approved a significant number of similarly inaccurate and false ads.” Global Witness Senior Advisor John Lloyd tried to drum up fear about a supposed threat to “democracy” if Big Tech companies didn’t up the ante on their censorship operations.

Did those leftist groups then give some of that money to the big internet thought-suppression giants to induce/reward them for targeting conservative thoughts?

What could be Soros’ motive for sowing seeds of U.S. destruction other than a desire to watch the world burn? It can’t be just about his money.

I miss the days when a G. Gordon Liddy type would be dispatched to “deal with the Soros problem”.

Yeah but I think Liddy was off the board before Soros got going and I did say a Liddy type.
