Because of the state funeral of George H.W. Bush, a highly anticipated hearing with Google CEO Sundar Pichai will be postponed.

Twitter stocks dropped Thursday in the wake of new transgender censorship policies and pressure over banned accounts — including a boycott by Fox News. The stock saw a tiny boost in its share price to finish out the week. Bloomberg attributed the sharp 8-point downturn, its biggest one-day percentage drop in more than a month, to conservative boycotts.

Research has shown that Google has a habit of downranking conservative news in the search rankings.

With concerns about tech bias dominating the news cycle, Google wants to remove its information panel from search engine results.

Many in traditional media want to remove all conservatives from social media. After all, conservatives are like terrorists from their perspective. In an editorial written by The New York Times, “right-wing extremism” took center stage. The piece, headlined “The New Radicalization of the Internet,” warned that social media exacerbated the issue of a “body count of fanaticism.” The Times called for…

Only months after its CEO claimed Twitter “does not take sides,” Twitter unveiled a policy that bans people for disagreeing with trans ideology. A statement as simple as “women aren’t men” can now be a policy violation, as even a liberal feminist discovered. 

Twitter’s war on conservative thought claimed new victims over the holiday weekend. The PC banhammer struck down two popular accounts. The PC banhammer struck down two popular accounts.
