Must be confirmed to attend.
A Harvard University study published on August 16, 2017, analyzed both mainstream and social media coverage of the 2016 election cycle. The study clearly shows that modern conservatives in America today have wholeheartedly rejected the liberal mainstream media. The 2016 election cycle was the first election cycle where conservatives used alternative media news sources to gather information rather than turning to traditional mainstream outlets. Conservative Americans abandoned the mainstream media in 2016 and will not be returning anytime soon. This paradigm shift forced left-wing tech-giants to take action.
Tech giants today understand they have the ability to influence what information consumers see through their complex, and non-public, algorithms. Often this power is abused. Several conservative outlets, and countless individuals have been targeted, shadow-banned, and silenced by these tech giants. By silencing these voices, big-tech is limiting information available to the American public and is a direct assault on First Amendment rights.
The time for transparency is now!
Tuesday’s panelists include Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit, John Hawkins of Right Wing News, Pamela Geller of The Geller Report, Margaret Howell of Rightside Broadcasting, tech entrepreneur Marlene Jaeckel and special video remarks by Michelle Malkin and James O’Keefe. More panelists to be announced. Panelists will discuss their experiences with social media targeting, the impact it has on the American public and the chilling effect on free speech.

Like facebook , twitter, even Google has joined Islamofascist gang http://tinyurl.com/lgp28rs
To censor conservative and Anti-jihadi news to push the islamisation agenda of the Left/Liberal/jihadis funded by saudi/qataris
And conservatives don’t want to fund the alternative media, nor unite to pursue the issue politically or legally then act surprised their First amendment is not getting up and fighting for them !

A judge would throw such a lawsuit out for want of a demonstrable monopoly. Building the better mousetrap and getting overwhelming market share doesn’t make a business a monopoly.

Back to playing make-believe, again, aemoreira1981 .. playing pretend attorney-at-law is one of your MOST humiliating roles.

There must be NO restrictions on freedom of speech in any modern society, no matter how “controversial” or “offensive”.

Except that a private business should be free to do what they want. Facebook is not the internet, but a private business. But now that we have voluntarily become so dependent on so few sites for communicating, maybe something should be done.

That was one of the arguments used, in bringing anti-trust action against American Tobacco (voluntarily become so dependent).

It’s just that in some Western societies, you can face legal consequences for posting “offensive” things on social media, such against statements criticizing Islam, which is a dangerous slippery slope.
