Welcome to CensorTrack with TR, a weekly video series about Big Tech censorship. The Media Research Center’s CensorTrack.org will publish the most prominent and worst cases of conservative censorship as well as document cases involving everyday Americans who were punished for challenging the Big Tech worldview.

Facebook is taking action after pressure from the White House. The Biden administration blamed the platform for the majority of coronavirus “misinformation.”

The Federal Trade Commission has refiled its lawsuit against Facebook, arguing that the social media giant is a monopoly.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told CBS This Morning host Gayle King that his platform has removed over 18 million pieces of so-called “misinformation,” but King appeared to want more. She pressed Zuckerberg to reveal how many people view the content before it is taken down.

"Why Trump's banned and the Taliban aren't: they play by the rules." Such was the absurd comment tweeted by Technology Policy Editor of The Washington Post Mark Seibel. Facebook has issued a blanket ban on the Taliban, but Twitter allows an account purportedly run by its spokesman -- for now.

Big Tech tyranny knows no bounds. Big Tech companies have gone so far as to mandate COVID-19 vaccination for their employees, but now apparently even that isn’t enough. Some of those employees are being required to show proof.

As the Taliban appears to have taken the mantle in returning to rule Afghanistan, Big Tech companies are grappling with how to handle the legitimacy of a radical Islamic regime.

Members of Facebook’s Oversight Board revealed that the board prefers to operate under the guideposts of globalism and so-called consistency — not American values enumerated in the First Amendment.

Three Australian publishers have accused Facebook of taking their content for its newly-launched news service without compensation.

His administration has reportedly pressured Facebook for several months to censor Americans who post views contradicting the administration’s COVID-19 narrative. The First Amendment prohibits the federal government from restricting the right of Americans to freely express their beliefs. However, in an attempted end run around the…

Four school board meetings, collectively from Connecticut, Illinois and Washington, were removed from YouTube within an eight-day period last month for violating the platform’s “COVID-19 medical misinformation policy.” Big Tech’s censorship of local government meetings and public officials, whether restored following criticism or not, is a slippery slope that keeps getting steeper.

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly backed far-left candidates with “dark money” over the past few years, and the Capital Research Center said he went to great lengths to hide his donations from the public. 

Facebook’s approved fact-checker PolitiFact rated a graphic from the Media Research Center as “FALSE,” even though the image merely shared a chart from the Center for Disease Control.

At least eight GOP-controlled states have passed bans on donations to election offices in order to deter Big Tech influence. Last year, Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg donated $400 million to election offices during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, after Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, conservative groups want to prevent that from happening again.
