Censorship Project

Liberals and Big Tech supporters are panicking about a new potential FCC Commissioner who is reportedly a hawk about online censorship.

It’s no secret that Twitter skews sharply to the left. A recent job change by a top employee of the platform shows why.

American’s rights online have been trampled by major tech companies who have leveraged favorable government policy to suppress or censor user’s content without fear it will come back to hurt them.

World-famous podcast host Joe Rogan moved his massively popular and free talk show exclusively to the Spotify platform, and some of its staff members have been triggered ever since. “In a Spotify all-hands company meeting on Wednesday, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek defended keeping transphobic content from hugely popular podcaster Joe Rogan on the audio platform,” Vice Motherboard summarized September…

Online censorship of conservatives is out of control, and the Media Research Center is doing something about it. The MRC just launched #FreeSpeechAmerica, designed to push back against Big Tech’s abuse of power.

It's no secret that Americans have a complicated relationship with Big Tech, and a recent study from FleishmanHillard highlights just how complicated this relationship can be. FleishmanHillard, a St. Louis-based marketing agency and public relations firm, found that “consumers want the technology sector to take a long hard look at its policies and practices.”

Twitter proved — again — that it still can’t take a joke. This time the platform labelled a President Donald Trump tweet parody of former Vice President Joe Biden “Manipulated media.” Biden played “Despacito” at a mid-September rally to pander to Hispanic voters. Then Trump shared a parody video where Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden instead appeared to play "F*ck Tha Police.” Twitter…

An ad that was part of the conservative PAC American Principles Project’s (APP PAC) $4 million campaign was labeled “missing context and could mislead people” by Facebook fact-checkers. NBC News wrote that the video, titled “Not Fair,” would not be allowed to run as a paid advertisement after Politifact fact-checked the video on Sept. 15. The 38-second ad states, “All female athletes want is a…

Twitter is apparently censoring accounts that tweet in support of famous Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, while also making additional moves to diminish that support. The day before Rowling released her new book “Troubled Blood,” “#RIPJKRowling” began trending in Twitter’s top spot Monday, giving rise to “#IStandWithJKRowling.”

Google testified in an antitrust hearing before the Senate yesterday, but the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) appears to be gearing up to crack down on Facebook. The Wall Street Journal reported that the FTC is preparing “a possible antitrust lawsuit against Facebook,” potentially by the end of the year, citing several sources familiar with the matter.

News organizations can’t even question China’s involvement in the Novel Coronavirus without being censored. A Fox News article about Dr. Li-Meng Yan’s claims that China intentionally released the COVID-19 virus has been censored by Facebook with an interstitial, or filter.

Google has long tried to hide its anti-conservative bias, but today, Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) were not having it. Big Tech representatives faced off with the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights on September 15. The hearing was titled “Stacking the Tech: Has Google harmed competition in online advertising?”

Only some experts are allowed to comment, apparently. That much was made clear when YouTube censored White House presidential advisor and Dr. Scott Atlas, M.D, for going against the World Health Organization’s narrative. “YouTube has yanked down a video produced by Stanford University's Hoover Institute featuring public health expert Dr. Scott Atlas, M.D., because it ‘contradicts the World…

If you’ve logged on to your Facebook today, you may have already noticed something a little different at the top of your feed. Today, Facebook launched its new Climate Science Information Center, its third information center in the last few months, following the COVID-19 Information Center and the Voter Information Center.
