    We saw Twitter suspend author and psychologist Jordan Peterson in June because he “deadnamed” transgender actor Elliot Page.Twitter told him he could get back his account if he deleted the tweet in question. The tweet said, “Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician.” But Peterson said he would “rather die” than do so. His daughter wrote about it.Wow. @jordanbpeterson got a twitter strike. No more twitter until he deletes the tweet. Definitely not a free speech platform at the moment @elonmuskpic.twitter.com/YuBTwnjz5W— Mikhaila Peterson (@MikhailaFuller) June 29, 2022Then Dave Rubin...

    Pro Deo et Libertate on Substack ^ | June 29, 2022 | Catherine Salgado
    Former White House Covid-19 response coordinator Deborah Birx admitted recently that the enforced narrative from government and Big Tech that Covid vaccines could stop Covid transmission was based on “hope,” not knowledge or science. Except Big Tech platforms have been censoring people for over a year for saying just that—and Big Tech is still pretending that Covid vaccines’ efficacy is settled science. This was never about “science.”

    Former President Donald Trump is not the only member of his family targeted by Big Tech. Meta-owned Instagram flagged Donald Trump Jr.’s account for supposedly spreading “false information.” MRC Free Speech America confirmed that Instagram made it more difficult for users to follow or mention Trump Jr.’s account. “Are you sure you want to follow donaldjtrumpjr?” an Instagram pop-up asked an MRC employee attempting to follow the account. A subsequent attempt to mention the account in an Instagram post triggered a pop-up asking, “Do you want to @mention this account?” Despite these hurdles, users can still follow or mention the...

    In a surprise move, the Democrat Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, said he would be joining Donald Trump’s social network, Truth Social in a bid to “call out Republican lies.” “I just joined Trump’s Truth Social,” said Newsom in a tweet from his official account. “Going to be on there calling out Republican lies. This could get…interesting.” “Hey everybody, it’s Governor Gavin Newsom, and I know we’re all on this platform in search for the ‘truth,’ but the truth is, I’ve not been able to find a simple explanation for the fact that we have a red state murder problem....

    The largest newspaper chain in the US has told its editors to modify their op ed publication policy. CEO Mike Reed cited reader complaints for the policy shift, saying “our effort to fit in with the unity theme of the Biden Administration has not set well among our readers. They don’t want our papers to tell them how to think. They suggest that we hire writers who are not left-wing activists.” “The big problem is that the number of subscribers is declining,” Reed continued. “While 80% of our readers who are Democrats express trust and confidence, only 35% of our...

    The billionaire is in a protracted battle with the company over information about spam and fake accounts.After a weeks-long impasse, Twitter’s board plans to comply with Elon Musk’s demands for internal data by offering access to its full “firehose,” the massive stream of data comprising more than 500 million tweets posted each day, according to a person familiar with the company’s thinking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the state of negotiations. The move aims to end a standoff with the billionaire, who has threatened to pull out of his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter unless...

    According to new research, deep learning models based on artificial intelligence can identify someone’s race merely by looking at their X-rays, which would be impossible for a human doctor looking at the same photos. The findings raise several serious concerns concerning AI’s role in medical diagnosis, assessment, and treatment: Could computer algorithms mistakenly apply racial bias when analyzing photographs like these? An international team of health researchers from the United States, Canada, and Taiwan tested their AI on X-ray images that the computer program had never seen before after training it with hundreds of thousands of existing X-ray images annotated...

    The Dinesh D’Souza documentary, 2000 Mules offered insight into how the 2020 Election could have been hijacked. It also introduced many to location and data tracking, and how this could be used for more conservative causes: like being able to track a woman who may be seeking an abortion.VICE is aghast that a capitalist company Safegraph would dare sell its data for profit and marketing purposes, instead of ideology. The leftist new media arm quickly sounded the alarm:How data collecting intersects with abortion rights, or the lack thereof, is likely to gather more attention in the wake of the draft....

    At least half of President Biden’s 22.2 million Twitter followers are bogus, a new audit revealed. The audit, which was done for the social media giant by software firm SparkToro, found that 49.3% of the president’s followers are “fake followers,” according to Newsweek. SparkToro has defined “fake followers” as “accounts that are unreachable and will not see the account’s tweets (either because they’re spam, bots, propaganda, etc. or because they’re no longer active on Twitter).” Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is currently attempting to buy Twitter, has expressed concern over the growing number of fake accounts and proposed a potential...

In Russia, Vladimir Putin has declared war on Ukraine, but it’s the weirdest war you ever saw and Putin is suffering with major health issues and complications. In Communist China, Xi Jinping has suffered a cerebral aneurysm, and is currently incapacitated. In America, Joe Biden’s poll numbers are just as low as his cognitive function, causing him to spew nonsense on a regular basis, with politicians...

    An alien species is headed for planet Earth and we have no reason to believe it will be friendly. Some experts predict it will get here within 30 years, while others insist it will arrive far sooner. Nobody knows what it will look like, but it will share two key traits with us humans – it will be intelligent and self-aware. No, this alien will not come from a distant planet – it will be born right here on Earth, hatched in a research lab at a major university or large corporation. I am referring to the first artificial general...
