Censorship Project

CEO Susan Wojcicki announced in a Jan. 26 blog that it removed over half a million videos under its COVID policies since February. It’s not just wacky conspiracy theories being taken down either. “We’ve continued to make updates to our COVID-19 policies to stay current with the science,” Wojcicki said, “…

Facebook, one of the internet’s biggest social media platforms, is planning to depoliticize its users’ newsfeeds.

YouTube is the internet’s biggest video platform, and yet it appears to have allowed little room for conservative dissent.

More than three-fourths of U.S. college students believe social media companies like Facebook and Twitter have too much power and influence in politics, and a majority want more government regulation of Big Tech, a new survey finds.

Facebook may now label speaking out against transgenderism as “violence and incitement.” Facebook reportedly suspended a Bible professor for seven days following a post criticizing President Joe Biden’s new policies towards transgender individuals, and ironically, Facebook censorship.

Facebook’s censorship has gone from removing opinions to threatening to remove entire pages. Conservative YouTuber Mark Dice reported that Facebook took down a post from his page on Twitter. But Dice said the platform went a step further, warning him that, “Your page is at risk of being unpublished." 

Facebook is cooperating with the federal government, and giving information on those who reportedly engaged in the Capitol Hill riot.

As if constantly labeling tweets wasn’t enough, Twitter has now introduced a new method to tackle what it deems to be “misinformation.” Twitter’s new innovation in censorship, Birdwatch, is intended to allow Twitter users to rat out and “provide context” for tweets they consider to be misinformation.

Big Tech doesn’t like mail-voting after all. Billionaire Jeff Bezos, who owns both Amazon and The Washington Post, is playing both sides of the mail-in election fraud debate.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act has been a hot topic for quite some time, and now, the left appears to be using the liability shield as an excuse to attempt to further regulate free speech online. 

Democrats in Congress and the Senate may be placing Section 230 under the microscope following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol building.
 

Twitter has been particularly egregious in its censorship in the last few weeks, but sometimes, the platform chooses to ignore particularly egregious content. Now, a recent lawsuit has alleged that the platform may have allowed child pornography to circulate. The lawsuit alleged that Twitter “knowingly benefited from participation in what it knew or should have known was a sex trafficking…

Rick Wilson, the co-founder of the virulently anti-Trump Lincoln Project, said conservatives are being banned because they “suck” and “say evil shit.” Wilson, who is known for making over-the-top attacks on the right, appeared unable to discuss Republican concerns about censorship without reverting to name calling.

It appears as though Facebook is trying to shift the decision making, and therefore the blame, as to whether former President Donald Trump should be allowed back on the platform.  

Facebook’s infamously liberal Oversight Board has accepted a case to decide whether to allow former President Donald Trump back on Facebook and Instagram. Facebook was one of many Big Tech companies whose choice to censor then-President Donald Trump shocked nations around the world in early January. Since then, “the Oversight Board accepted a case referral from Facebook to examine their…
