If Democrats seize control of the White House and Senate, Big Tech’s political censorship will worsen, forecasted Dave Rubin, host of the Rubin Report, in an interview with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow on Sunday at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit in West Palm Beach, FL. “The ship has sailed with Big Tech,” maintained Rubin. “If Biden gets in, and especially if [Democrats] have the Senate — Trump was the last thing that was stopping Big Tech from lowering the boom — but I think 2021 will be the year of the bannings. It’ll be soft bannings at first....

In a clash of the Tech Titans, social media giant Facebook has lashed out at iPhone maker Apple in a full-page ad in at least three U.S. newspapers, claiming that Facebook is standing up to Apple on the behalf of small businesses. 9to5Mac reports that social media giant Facebook has lashed out at iPhone maker Apple claiming to be the defender of small businesses.

The 'independent certifier' who retweeted the claim that all Republican voters are racists approved as Facebook fact-checkers an organization funded by Chinese Communists and U.S. Democrats.A professor Facebook has empowered to decide who can become a fact-checker is an open political leftist who has expressed animus against all Republican U.S. voters, according to recently uncovered documents exposing the official — and the process by which social media censors obtain their powers. According to Jack Houghton of Sky News, the platform’s fact-checking certifier Margot Susca retweeted the claim that racism is “embraced by nearly half of the country’s electorate” in America,...

Will anyone in media, Big Tech, or the expert class be held accountable for claiming the Biden family investigations were a fantasy Russian disinformation plot? So now that it is overwhelmingly evident the New York Post’s initial Hunter and Jim Biden story wasn’t based on hacked material, wasn’t Russian misinformation, is clearly something people deserved to know before voting, and that big tech and America’s corporate media tried to make sure that didn’t happen – and that once again rather than alter their behavior or ask for forgiveness, they’re going to instead attempt to gaslight you about all of it...

On Thursday, a pastor who previously lived a homosexual lifestyle made his appeal in a unique case regarding discrimination and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA), which protects Big Tech companies from liability for the content third-parties post on their platforms. The pastor is suing Vimeo for discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and religion after the platform banned him from publishing videos telling the stories of people who identify as ex-gay. “This is a case of grave importance because it is about whether big tech platforms can unlawfully discriminate against persons based on religion or sexual...

“Today California, tomorrow the world” is the theme of the woke statists up and down the chain, especially those, like Mayor Eric Garcetti and patronage potentate Xavier Becerra, who have been hand picked for national roles by Joe Biden’s operators. They are proudly part of what H.G. Wells once called the “open conspiracy” to reset the globalized West—now, in accordance with what has emerged as a new religion. Through an inescapable social credit system suffusing both public and private life, these officials plan to expropriate our country, our property, and our conscience itself into a vast established church. This is...

Earlier today, YT announced that they’ll no longer allow people to make videos about █████ on their platform. Of course... corporate media outlets can still talk about it. Is this even America? When did Youtube become arbiters of truth? They consider NBC and CBS as "authoritative" news sources. Communist China would be proud.

YouTube has announced it will remove videos criticizing Joe Biden’s alleged victory and reporting on election “fraud or errors,” instead promoting the content of corporate media outlets and fact checkers. Per YouTube, its December 9th decision was guided by its “main goal” of “connecting people with authoritative information, while also limiting the reach of misinformation and removing harmful content.” In reality, however, the platform will likely axe a host of pro-Trump accounts, as it has done before. Specifically, the platform vowed to crack down on any content that exposes “widespread fraud or errors” incurred during the 2020 election: “We also...

Washington, DC (August 31, 2020)—The German Marshall Fund’s Digital Innovation and Democracy Initiative today launches the “Digital New Deal,” a yearlong campaign that will bring together a broad community of policymakers, technical experts, and scholars to create an Internet that supports democracy by enacting specific reforms in five key areas.

We’ve known for a while now that President Trump has been threatening to veto the NDAA unless it includes a provision to repeal section 230 of the 1969 Communications Decency Act. Personally, this has seemed like a rather ill-conceived notion from the start, particularly since it’s likely to backfire in a big way. There’s enough support for the “must-pass” nature of the NDAA and for section 230 that the veto could very well be overridden, handing a win to the bipartisanship crowd in open defiance of the President’s goals. We’ve known for a while now that President Trump has been...

Woke Capital Isn’t a GameConservatives need to stop treating virtue signaling as if it didn’t matter.This summer corporate American cheered on BLM and Antifa as they burned our cities. Now, Twitter and Facebook openly censor information, while Nasdaq asks the government to sanction their stringent new diversity mandates. These news items hammer out a familiar beat, offering a clear glimpse into our future. It is long past time to get smart on what this phenomenon truly represents. The phrase “woke capitalism” often refers to the way multinational corporations ensure their advertisements reflect the latest woke pieties. It should be defined...

This is becoming an all-too-familiar refrain. XYZ Company pulls up stakes in California and expands or moves to Texas or Tennessee. But even for the arrogant California commissars in Sacramento, who have seen more than 13,000 companies leave on their watch in the last few years, this one has got to hurt. It’s got to be a public relations gut punch for California Governor Gavin Newsom, who’s done little to retain all the companies bailing out of Silicon Valley because it’s too expensive to conduct business there. The headquarters for one of the Founding Fathers of the Silicon Valley is...

On Tuesday, President Trump announced that he intended to veto the National Defense Authorization Act if it doesn't include a provision deleting Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act. Trump's purpose is to clip the tech tyrants' wings, something that badly needs doing. However, he's going about it the wrong way and should rethink his announced plan. Once upon a time, the internet was a place of freedom and creativity. The early internet companies offered platforms on which people could publish unmediated content. The companies were the equivalent of giant bulletin boards. No one expected them to police the content...

If ‘the very dangerous & unfair Section 230 is not completely terminated as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I will be forced to unequivocally VETO the Bill,’ Trump wrote. WASHINGTON, D.C., December 2, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – President Donald Trump has threatened to veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as the annual defense-spending bill is called, unless it does away with Section 230, which provides indemnity to Big Tech companies. A tweet sent by the President On Tuesday night, the president tweeted, “Section 230, which is a liability shielding gift from the U.S. to ‘Big Tech’ (the...

You can't find the report on CNN's website. If you try to upload it anywhere, they quickly flag it for removal. As the saying goes, when you're taking flak you know you're over the target. A report by CNN from 2006 details very obvious voter fraud perpetrated by the government of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez using Smartmatic Voting Systems. But you can’t find the video on CNN’s website. You can’t find it on their YouTube channel or Facebook. You can’t even find it in their archives. The story and the video have been scrubbed completely. They’ve taken it a step...

Section 230, which is a liability shielding gift from the U.S. to “Big Tech” (the only companies in America that have it - corporate welfare!), is a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity. Our Country can never be safe & secure if we allow it to stand. Therefore, if the very dangerous & unfair Section 230 is not completely terminated as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I will be forced to unequivocally VETO the Bill when sent to the very beautiful Resolute desk. Take back America NOW. Thank you!

Twitter has been more heavy-handed than Facebook when it comes to censoring ideas and information from the conservative side of the spectrum, but don't think for a minute that Facebook isn't involved. Just today, I grabbed screenshots of Facebook going after a video showing ES&S machines transferring vote ratios between precincts in Philadelphia.Today, when I made one of my rare visits to Facebook, this was the first thing I saw:As is clear from the image above, the linked Rumble page (which was posted on November 20) has the title "Smoking Gun: ES&S Transferring Vote Ratios between Precincts in PA." However,...
