President Donald Trump’s signed proclamation to halt visas that import foreign workers has enraged Big Tech leaders. Apparently diversity and cheap labor are more important to them than aiding American workers during an unprecedented economic crisis.

Google has an infamous history of censoring conservatives, and now it has claimed that it will bring fact-checking to Google images. Google will soon start fact-checking photos and videos in an effort to ensure that people "have access to critical context about the information⁠ — and now images ⁠— they encounter online."  Google Group Product Manager Harris Cohen wrote a brief company blog…

Censorship doesn’t just stop at blocking freedom of expression. Banks and financial processors wield the power to halt one’s livelihood at the mere accusation of “hate speech.” 

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently stressed the company’s commitment to freedom of speech in an op-ed for USA Today. But an undercover investigation by Project Veritas into the world of Facebook’s third-party content moderators casts doubt on that commitment.

Even the most woke of companies can’t seem to win when it comes to political pandering. Snapchat, one of the more progressive social media platforms, pushed a cringe-inducing filter to celebrate “Juneteenth,” and was bullied to publicly apologize. 

The news media have spent four years screaming about allegations that Russians hacked the 2016 election. Fast forward to 2020 and people are now using the Chinese app TikTok to sabotage President Donald Trump’s election rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Multiple outlets have revealed that internet users have gleefully trolled the Trump campaign. 

Twitter has censored British conservative commentator Katie Hopkins for reportedly mocking a threat of violence by one of her detractors. Twitter, being Twitter, decided she was the dangerous one.

Big Tech and the news media have once again revealed that liberals can’t take a joke. A video tweeted by Donald Trump parodying CNN coverage has been labelled by Twitter as manipulated media. President Donald Trump tweeted a Carpe Donktum video depicting a fake CNN headline that states, "TERRIFIED TODLER [sic] RUNS FROM RACIST BABY." 

Facebook declared Thursday that it would censor ads run by President Donald Trump's re-election campaign for breaching its policies on “organized hate.” The ads, which condemned Antifa rioters as "Dangerous MOBS of far-left groups," featured an upside-down red triangle, which some have interpreted as a callback to prisoners of Nazi camps. “A red inverted triangle was first used in the 1930s to…

Twitter censorship may have met its match — Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). Cotton wrote the now-infamous New York Times opinion piece headlined, “Tom Cotton: Send In the Troops,” calling to restore order amidst the George Floyd riots on June 3. Cotton later tweeted the phrase: “No quarter for insurrectionists, anarchists, rioters, and looters.” He asserted in a Fox News opinion piece that he was…
