Category: Internet Censorship: Tech Giants’ War on Free Speech

“Academics” a euphemism for apologists and socialists. How many academics aren’t leftwing? 3?

It takes a President ….. because no lawmaker on Capitol Hill will protect and defend our First Amendment rights.

Will Facebook ban the hundreds of Quran quotes and hadiths that call for violence and murder of the unbelievers?

We were the first to sue the social media giants for our first amendment rights. . In light of that fight, I began to focus AFDI activism to pursue anti-trust laws be used to break up social monopolies and duopolies.

Look at what Facebook allows and look at what they ban.

The Heritage Foundation will defend Facebook’s legal right as a “private company” to censor content and will oppose attempts to regulate the tech giant.

We need anti-trust legislation and we need it now. It’s war. People do not understand what is at stake and what they have lost. Social media is the public square and our First Amendment rights should be first and foremost. Either we go quietly into the cold, dark night or we go to war.

It’s all well and good that Facebook reversed the block against me, but what about the millions of others who are routinely banned and blocked? Millions of conservative Americans have no recourse, no Breitbart article to call out the leftist authoritarians at Facebook.

The U.S. House Judiciary Committee Hearing is holding a hearing this morning at 10:00am EST on social media filtering and policing practices.

The truth violates Facebook community standards.

“War is being declared on the conservative movement in this space and conservatives are losing — badly.” On Monday, the Media Research Center released a comprehensive report detailing the suppression of conservative opinions on major social media platforms. It lists the conservative blog Legal Insurrection, foreign policy commentator Pamela Geller, conservative columnist Michelle Malkin, video bloggers Diamond and Silk, Dennis Prager’s PragerU series

The left is at war in the information battle-space. Make no mistake, it’s war. And too many Americans are clueless or apathetic. But there are no casual bystanders in this war. Take a stand or rue the day.

Not only has Mark Zuckerberg instituted the same speech restrictions on the general public that totalitarians have imposed in the past, he has installed the same terrifying techniques with Facebook employees.

Billionaire investor Peter Thiel argues Silicon Valley is is a ‘totalitarian place’ where people are not allowed to have dissenting views.

Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter are allowing jihadists to ‘act with impunity’ by uploading beheading videos and bomb-making manuals, the country’s most senior counter-terror officer said yesterday.

A report from the Outline finds that conservative sites including Breitbart News and Fox have also seen dramatic falls in engagement, while mainstream sites like CNN and the New York Times were unaffected.

The Anti-Defamation League has stated that social media companies YouTube, Twitter and Facebook may use the group’s “Online Hate Index” to detect hate speech on their platforms.

In the meantime, neo-Nazis, terrorist organizations and those dedicated to the destruction of Israel continue to operate freely. Among them, Hatem Bazian – a repeated offender of anti-Semitism, David Duke – former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and even terror organization Hamas.

Facebook is Mark, and Mark is Facebook.” “Mark has 60 percent voting rights for Facebook. So you have one individual, 33 years old, who has basically full control of the experience of 2 billion people around the world. That’s unprecedented. Even the president of the United States has checks and balances.”

Tech workers following the lead of Peter Thiel, a President Donald Trump-supporting venture capitalist and bolting Silicon Valley for Los Angeles. Not that LA is all that much better. But pushback is good and it’s happening.

Geller tells the audience how Google’s advertising platform went from being 70% of revenue from the Geller Report to them blacklisting her from the platform simply based on her conservatives views. She outlines how they do not just target voices they disagree with, but they make sure that those voices are unable to sustain themselves: “If they kill your ability to make a living, it’s a form of murder.”

Join me on Tuesday, February 6, 2018, at 1:00 pm (ET) at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. thought leaders and prominent voices in alternative media will gather for a panel discussion on social media neutrality and the fight for diversity of voices online.

We are seeing an unprecedented erosion in our First Amendment rights, increasingly prohibiting the flow of ideas and free expression in the public square (social media).

In the last century, the telephone was our “computer,” and Ma Bell was how we communicated. That said, would the American people (or the government) have tolerated ATT spying on our phone calls and then pulling our communication privileges if we expressed dissenting opinions?

Out of control.

The election of President Trump was the casus belli for the left’s war on free speech.

A California man was prosecuted on misdemeanor charges for what his supporters say was exercising his free speech. Basically, the guy posted some comments about Muslims on Facebook and now he’s paying a criminal price for it.

America, the world’s first government based on individual rights and personal liberty, should be on the forefront of the defense of freedom of speech across the world, leading the way, the light among nations, ‘shining city on a hill’.

The last thing that the JDL posted was my appearance last night at a private meet and greet event.

Google says it will have more than 10,000 members of staff monitoring content on YouTube next year.

Is net neutrality on its way out? The FCC is taking a look, and preparing to vote.

“Terror groups now call for donations through social media [and messaging platforms] such as WhatsApp groups or Twitter,” said Kiagus Ahmad Badarudin, chairman of the PPATK. “Bitcoin and PayPal are also used to move their money.”

The trenches in the information battle-space are social media – your Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google account, etc. And YOU are being silenced, quietly, deliberately and absolutely.

If the US government could break up Ma Bell, the USG can break up Facebook. Today’s IP address is yesterday’s phone number. It’s how we communicate today- whether by FB comment, messenger, Twitter DM etc

First and foremost, let me thank every reader, supporter, and lover of freedom for tweeting, sharing, emailing, calling and faxing (yes, faxing) YouTube, urging them to reinstate my account.
YOU did it.

Never in modern history has so much power been in the hands of so few. President Trump and/or Congress needs to hold hearings on this concentration of power and, by way of anti-trust laws or legislation, break up this cartel of social media power in the information battle-space.

Social media giants have readily accepted the mantle of the new totalitarians.

Facebook will also step up its monitoring of hate speech, adding 3,000 [sharia-compliant] content reviewers to nearly double the size of its existing team. Never in modern history has so much power been in the hands of so few.

From the moment the popularity of the videos grew, YouTube started to play a sleazy game to stop me.

It’s coming down fast.

It’s Stalinesque.

Joseph Stalin airbrushed photos to erase the presence of those who had fallen out of favor. Left-run social media titans are doing the very same thing.

I have been posting videos to YouTube since 2006 and now, for the first time, I am banned for two weeks. It’s non-stop now – Facebook blocks and bans, Google AdSense permanent disabling my account, the Paypal block (a decision that was reversed thanks to you good folks), and YouTube demonetizing my videos. But this is a first.

Conservatives have had their YouTube videos demonetized, PayPal accounts terminated, and their social media profiles banned.

Pamela explained how this is part of a larger left wing attempt to crush the First Amendment.

After a public outcry online over the ban, service was restored to Jihad Watch as well as to Pamela Geller’s American Freedom Defense Initiative….

The SPLC has come under fire for labeling many peaceful organizations as “hate groups,” including a prominent evangelical ministry, which has filed a lawsuit against the center, claiming it defamed the Christian organization as an “active hate group” because it endorses the biblical view of homosexuality.

“There is a systematic takedown of conservative websites. It’s very dangerous. Never in recent history, has so much power, immense power, been in the hands of so few,” she declared.

Facebook is rolling out a “related articles” section that will appear below popular stories and those that are deemed to be “fake news,” according to a report.

Facebook has closed our site Partiet Stop Islamiseringen af Danmark with more than 11.000 likes and 10.000 followers without any real reason. They just call it a site who spread hate speech. That is of course a lie.

The Counter Jihad Coalition was formed to educate the public on political Islam and the threat posed by the encroachment of Shariah into western civilization. This past Tuesday the speech police at Facebook decided they were going to ban us.

Facebook has adopted sharia-complaint policies for some time now. My feed is blocked from my millions of followers on Facebook, and I have seen my circulation drop precipitously in the past three months. For news publishers, Facebook is the motherboard of link traffic. No news site can survive without them. Why the block? Because under Islamic law, you cannot criticize Islam. Facebook adhering to the most extreme and brutal ideology on the face of the earth should trouble all of us, because Mark Zuckerberg has immense power. He controls the flow of information. He controls what you see and don’t see on Facebook. We did not give him the power to abridge our unalienable freedoms.

This should trouble all of us because Mark Zuckerberg has immense power. He says Facebook is the “new church.” And who is he? Jesus Christ?

Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook has removed a video posted by a prominent Jewish community member after he said there is a clear connection between terrorism and Islam. Further proof that just because you went to an Ivy League school doesn’t mean you can’t be an idiot (Mark Zuckerberg went to Harvard).
