White House Creates Online Portal For Reporting Social Media Censorship
Human Events ^ | 5/15/2019 | Uncredited

Posted on 05/15/2019 9:09:27 PM PDT by RightGeek

This afternoon, the White House launched a new online portal that will allow users who have been banned or suspended from social media platforms to share their stories with the White House.

The portal, called the “Tech Bias Story Sharing Tool,“asks users if any social media platform – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, or any other – has taken action against the user’s account. The user is given an opportunity to explain the circumstances of their banning, link to the offending post or tweet, and include any screenshots of emails from the social media platforms explaining why they took adverse action against the user’s account.

The portal’s home page includes a message from the White House:

“SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS should advance FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Yet too many Americans have seen their accounts suspended, banned, or fraudulently reported for unclear ‘violations’ of user policies. No matter your views, if you suspect political bias caused such an action to be taken against you, share your story with President Trump.”

This is the first official action from the White House to deal with the epidemic of censorship on social media platforms.

You can bet they will be hearing from Laura Loomer.
She’s been dropped from Facebook, Twitter, maybe Instagram and YouTube as well. Maybe even PayPal too!

Her Sin? Being an outspoken, unapologetic very articulate conservative woman who defends Israel.

I trust everyone realizes that this is a way to build a list so Trump can market to them on these exact social media platforms.
