Censorship

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s newly released plan to fight so-called misinformation, disinformation and malinformation (“MDM”) came under quick condemnation from various quarters on social media over concerns that the plan marked the creation of a “Ministry of Truth.” However, the plan represents an even more draconian tool to silence free speech, all under the guise of “media literacy.” But…

Google, YouTube, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok each participated in election interference when they censored presidential candidates and particularly Biden opponents a total of 162 times.

The leader of a government-tied, election-interfering censorship group is griping that pressuring tech companies to crush speech has become harder.

Members of the Free Speech Alliance and pro-free speech allies are calling on Congress to once and for all ensure that the Biden administration is prohibited from unconstitutionally funding Ministry of Truth operations like leftist internet traffic cop NewsGuard.
