What Democrats Want, Day 15 Countdown to Oblivion, SOCIAL MEDIA

ARE the giant social media tech companies mere platforms with special legal protection under Section 230 (c} of the Federal Community Decency Act, or are they publishers? That is the billion-dollar question.

Censoring Conservative and Christian Voices

What galls many freedom lovers is the fact that the social media giant tech companies – Google, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Amazon – seemingly collude with the Democratic Party and Leftist groups to forwarding the same progressive message. They do this at the expense of silencing conservative and Christian individuals, groups and organizations.  

There is no free speech on much of the Internet. There are gatekeepers who determine what is truth and what is not. What is acceptable and what is not. The First Amendment is being violated. Yes, they are private entities, however, they have received special privileges as platforms, but they have morphed into monopolistic publishers, censoring content that is objectionable to them.

Shadow-Banning

A Wikipedia.com entry defines shadow banning as follows, “…is the act of blocking or partially blocking a user or their content from an online community so that it will not be readily apparent to the user that they have been banned. For instance, shadow banned comments posted to a blog or media website will not be visible to other persons accessing that site from their computers.” Many conservatives complain that their post have been shadow banned. This is not right. These social media sites are now more publisher and censors than mere platforms.

Monopolistic Malpractice

Just today the BostonHerold.comin its article regarding Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, “Social media censorship threatens to widen rift in U.S.” This week, social media giants Twitter and Facebook proved that their monopolistic malpractice is a big problem for politics and culture in America.

“When the New York Post published a story about suspicious emails that had been allegedly discovered between Hunter Biden and officials at the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, where he was paid tens of thousands of dollars a month to serve on the board, the revelations were remarkable.” This story and others were not be found anywhere on the some of the largest social media sites.

Remove the Immunity from Legal Actions

It is time to end the protections that these mega social media tech entities – Facebook, Google, Twitter, Youtube, etc. that they were granted in 1996 by Congress when they immerged as new platforms.

Amazon Censorship

Amazon, the large online retailer, uses the so-called “hate list” of the SPLC to restrict companies and organization to fund-raise using Amazon’s Smile Program.

Amazon also censors certain books, videos it feels inappropriate based on information provided by its own biased censors and organization like the disgrace SPL

Conclusion

Social media has quite a monopoly on information today, it can use its enormous powers to sway an election, which we are seeing being played out. They push the Democratic Party candidates and positions and hinder the Republican Party candidates and their message.

This bias will only get worse should the Democrats seize control of the presidency and both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate this November. Vote Democrat is you want increased unrestrained censorship. Vote Republican if you want to see free speech return to the Internet.
