Big Tech needs to be sued by thousands of people at the same time. They need to be forced to defend themselves coincidentally in endless small claim’s courts.
Got to post all videos in every outlet available. YouTube is enemy territory.
The FBI should be abolished. Such action would be more to the point at hand.
FIB performing election interference again. Anyone surprised?
Google and YouTube is already censoring Trump ads.
Who decides exactly what is disinformation? First amendment be damned. Those Stalinist bassturds.
“The FBI remains committed to combatting foreign malign influence operations, including in connection with our elections. That effort includes sharing specific foreign threat information with state and local election officials and private sector companies when appropriate and rigorously consistent with the law,”
Translation: We’re going to shut up every critic of Biden.
The FIB seem to meet some understandings of the term “Illegal Aliens”.
bump for later...
Do they realize that they will almost completely silence the Biden Administration if the cut off all disinformation? If their lips are moving, they are lying = disinformation.
Somewhere Elon Musk is laughing.
This is why they want to ban TikTok.
ELIZABETH TAYLOR’s STEPSON..........
These guys must have nothing to do.
Disinformation: stuff the govt doesn’t agree with, even if it’s true.
