Devin Nunes, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, said in a recent interview on Fox Business that congressional members are looking at ways to fight social media censorship of conservative voices.
The challenge is to take the fight to a legal battleground, he said.
However the fight goes forth — let it go forth.

It’s long overdue and the censorship hasn’t just been confied to Twitter. It’s also touched down on Facebook, on Google, on YouTube — and pretty much anywhere voices gather on social media.
From the Gateway Pundit:
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) the Chair of the House Intelligence Committee joined Maria Bartiromo today on Sunday Morning Futures.
During their discussion the topic of Twitter censorship of conservatives, also known as shadow-banning, came up.
A recent study by the leftist website VICE News found that Twitter is censoring top pro-Trump lawmakers.
Twitter is targeting pro-Trump Republican lawmakers Matt Gaetz, Devin Nunes, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan and John Ratcliffe with the same shadowbanning technique.Twitter is also censoring prominent pro-Trump accounts including: Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Paul Joseph Watson, TGP’s Jim Hoft, TGP’s Cassandra Fairbanks, TGP’s Lucian Wintrich, TGP’s Cristina Laila and Laura Loomer among others.
Nunes said the House is looking at legal remedies to deal with Twitter’s censorship of conservative voices.Rep. Devin Nunes: “I don’t know what Twitter’s up to. It sure looks to me like they are censoring people. And they ought to stop it. And we are looking at any legal remedies that we can go through.”

Nunes is like another Trump – slugging it our against the swamp.
The GOP should be all over this. They aren’t because they have the same agenda as the DEMS.
I really admire Nunes and Jim Jordan. When you think of all the obstacles DEMS and the RINOS
put there, it’s amazing he gets anything done or moves it forward.
FINE them MONEY. LIBERALS worship MONEY!
Notice the GOP is ignoring the roaring economy and immigration it heir midterm bids for re-election!
They don’t care. The GOPe would rather be the MINORITY and blame DEMS for not stopping the LEFT agenda.
The GOPe has no problem losing seats to DEMS. They will regroup and become lobbyists like Ryan’s DEM and very LIBERAL wife. His wife is VERY wealthy too. Ryan never has to work again but he is greedy and will find a slot with the globalists. Trump is going to have to campaign hard for these SOBS.

Private enterprise, not classified as anything resembling a public utility, hard to fine them. There are limited alternatives. I’ve often wondered, if the “realdonaldtrump” migrated to them, and dropped twatter,what would happen. Probably too late for that to do any good, but that would be one of the few ways of combatting the twatter, et al, ordeal.

I’ve been banned on twitter , facebook for exposing left/liberal /jihadi crimes because it was deemed “hate speech ” as per sharia law in practice in these co’s.
After facebook, twitter , even Google, youtube joins lslamofascist gang to support illegals and jihadis
suppress conservative free speech http://tinyurl.com/lgp28rs
saudi/qatar/OIC own part of twitter, Fox Network, fund CNN, MSNBC , buy out politicians , bureaucrats in education dept to push islam in schools/ colleges. Easiest way to brainwash and takeover country and shutdown free speech !

Send this info to President Trump at the White House…..he probably already knows….but sometimes it’s important to let leaders know that YOU KNOW!
President Trump has his hands full….but he’s got “people” to take care of things…..what do you have to lose?

To be fair, Twitter is a private company, though I strongly disapprove of its censorship policies. Perhaps conservative figures could create their own social media platforms?

What is so hard about this?….start prosecuting these entities for violation of the First Amendment….Free Speech! And as they hold themselves out as a private company with millions of members…..and making money from others advertising there and and then compiling dossiers on all users…..that would be billions for the DOJ in a lawsuit……it’s just not that hard….oh, wait…I forgot…Sissy Swamp Sessions is in charge of the DOJ….nevermind.

I’ve had several accounts on Twitter with over 8,500 followers total and Twitter perm banned me because I was telling the truth about Islam. Thousands of other great accounts were also perm banned by this radical left, pro-Islamic organization. And as Pam pointed out it’s the same for all the big social media giants like FB and YouTube. So yes it’s high time the govt finally step in and protect centrists, conservatives and everyone else who doesn’t hold globalist/liberal views.
As for those who say start your own platform, it’s not that easy, others have tried and failed. That’s because these main sites gobble up a huge following and people don’t want to switch to an alternative. These sites must be treated now like public utilities. Would it be right if the power or water company cut off your supply because they didn’t like your opinions? All social media sites had promised to serve as “neutral public forums” to avoid govt oversight/regulation.
Obviously they’ve proven they cannot adhere to the 1st amendment and therefore they must be regulated to ensure all citizens get an equal say and won’t get censored for disagreeing with the radical Left. I don’t even care about using Twitter but it is so ubiquitous it is one of the best ways to reach others with the truth.
Since we are at war with Islam, it’s even more important that speech is not silenced-that is how the Muslims win by censoring any negative info about this very evil and dangerous ideology. Leftists are carrying the water for the Nazis of our time (Muslims).
