Facebook has now added a new level to its censorship process. On October 22, Facebook announced that its Oversight Board (the Board) will now be taking cases for review, less than two weeks before the presidential election.

Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination passed the Senate Judiciary Committee in a hearing today, which will soon go to the Senate floor for a vote. But that was not the only item on the agenda.

Google has already released its statement about the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) antitrust lawsuit, but now, a former CEO of the company has decided to speak out as well.

After a policy change and a week’s worth of criticism, you would have thought Twitter would have learned its lesson.

Twitter reversed its decision to censor the New York Post’s Hunter Biden story. But the war isn’t over yet. The Post’s Twitter account has remained locked for a full seven days, according to New York Post Deputy Politics Editor Emma-Jo Morris.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed its antitrust lawsuit against Google yesterday, and Google released its response.

Appearing Tuesday's Fox News @ Night, Media Research Center Founder and President Brent Bozell partnered with host Shannon Bream and Democratic strategist Kevin Walling to roundly condemn one of the latest absurd acts of tech censorship as Facebook allegedly demonetized The Babylon Bee because a recent post satirizing Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) was deemed capable of “…

Univision finally reported the scandal involving Joe Biden's son Hunter, five days after the story initially broke and buried it within its late-night newscast. What’s worse, the story was tucked away within an unrelated report on President Donald Trump’s rally in Tucson, Arizona.

Facebook may have hit a new low today in its seemingly eternal quest to rid the world of, well, anything the platform deems problematic.  Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee (The Bee) said that Facebook demonetized the Babylon Bee and removed a satirical article entitled “Senator Hirono Demands ACB Be Weighed Against A Duck To See If She Is A Witch.” Dillon also stated that the social…

With just over two weeks until Election Day, leftist media pundits are running out of time to boost Joe Biden’s poll numbers.

Wallowing in pre-election anxiety Monday morning, they kicked off the show with a flurry of…

The heat has steadily risen for Big Tech over the last few years, and it appears, at least for Google, that the hot water has reached a boiling point. Google’s day of reckoning may finally be upon us. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed its long-anticipated antitrust lawsuit against Google in the Washington D.C District Court on Tuesday, following more than a year of investigations…

Social media can often appear to be an echo chamber, especially to those closely following election events. But a recent survey suggests that Big Tech is shifting users’ political views. A study from the Pew Research Center published on October 15 found that 23 percent of adult social media users in the United States changed a political view they hold because of something they saw on social…

Nothing to see here. Twitter may want to move on from the firestorm of criticism it received following last week’s censorship of a bombshell New York Post article, but the Senate GOP has not forgotten about it.

Facebook Policy Communications director Andy Stone announced on Twitter that Facebook would “reduce [the story’s] distribution on our platform,” when the bombshell story broke…

With the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) antitrust lawsuit against Google still pending, it appears as though some state attorneys general may be taking matters into their own hands. Several states are now planning to open their own antitrust investigations into Google.
