Big Tech is mass censoring users who attempt to discuss vote-counting irregularities.

The mass uncertainty surrounding the 2020 US presidential election result has led to a huge push for poll watchers to be given access to vote-counting centers so that they can observe the process and report any irregularities.

This movement has quickly gained momentum online and the Facebook group Stop the Steal was one of the most popular groups leading the charge with its members organizing protests across the country.

The group was created by Women for America First – a pro-Trump, not for profit social welfare organization.

It gained more than 364,000 members while it was live but within 24 hours of it being created, Facebook shut down Stop the Steal, claimed that it was “organized around the delegitimization of the election process,” and alleged that there were “worrying calls for violence from some members of the group.”

Facebook added that it’s reviewing other smaller Stop the Steal groups and planning to “take action accordingly.”

Amy Kremer, the chair of Women for America First, slammed Facebook’s takedown of the group and described it as “outrageous.”

“The left is trying to steal an election and Social media is complicit,” she tweeted.

Cindy Chafian, the Director of Coalitions at Women for America First, also challenged Facebook’s claims about calls for violence in the group:

“This woman is an absolute liar. I ran the group. We were clear we did not condone violence. The real reason is they don’t want the right organizing. She’ll say nothing about the radical violent left but 350k conservative women are a threat.”

Before the Stop the Steal group was shut down, mainstream media outlets and reporters had claimed that the group was spreading “disinformation” about the election and that “threats of violence” were being shared in the group.

The shut down of the group follows an unprecedented wave of Big Tech censorship that has been deployed across the large social media platforms since election night.

Users that attempt to discuss election-related inconsistencies or share stories about alleged voter fraud are being shut down en masse.

Facebook has blocked search results for hashtags and search terms related to these topics.

And President Trump’s post-election night statements are now so heavily censored, that half of his Facebook and Twitter posts since election night are being flagged.

The election result has yet to be finalized, legal challenges are being filed across the country, and several whistleblowers have provided video footage alleging election fraud.

This unprecedented and constantly changing situation is one where disputes and protests are to be expected and where it’s still unclear what is true and what is false.

But instead of allowing open discussion about the situation, the Big Tech platforms have opted to censor these discussion, squash hubs that are used to organize protests, and somehow frame these calls for more transparency as something that delegitimizes the election process.

Big Tech's election night censorship shows why Trump should have embraced alternative tech

From election night, the Big Tech companies followed through on this election night narrative that they have been crafting for months by mass censoring President Trump and many other users who attempted to discuss and share their opinion on election developments. ...

But despite these free speech platforms offering the President a platform where he can speak freely, Trump has so far rejected them. Instead, he continues to use Big Tech platforms to communicate with the world and has chosen Twitter, the platform that throttles him the most, as his preferred broadcasting tool.


Yup. It was a huge mistake for Trump to use Twitter at all.

It's time, it's all or nothing.

If we don't see some serious victories by Monday, he's gotta go balls to the wall and say "Fuck It" and find any and all Executive Powers against these Big Tech fucks.

But Twitter was his only way to get his word out since all broadcast networks, major newspapers, and cable outlets all omit anything good Trump did, misquote Trump, and editorialize lies into what should be news stories. Even when Trump spoke on TV last night, ABC News ran a graphic while Trump was talking at the podium the read "Trump falsely claims......." That graphic was left up the whole time Trump was talking.

I heard Joe Pags talking about that last night to a caller. The caller said every network cut Trump off after a few words and began editorializing.

The media influenced by China is all against Trump. The Silicon Valley tech companies with many many Chinese employees are against Trump. We have too many Chinese with different agenda working in many companies all around the world. And we were duped into the hatred. We chose our leader based on the hate, not for the good of our country and the world or the love of the nations around the world.

Chinese will continue their religious persecutions, Holocaust, stealing our technologies and influence our media and the companies around the world.

WE LET THIS HAPPEN by voting for the most corrupted people in the politics. Kamara Harris's husband also works for a Chinese company. This is what happens when the votes were casted based on the hate. There was not one iota of good will in that vote.

Chinese people will continue to suffer, and Trump was the only one who could have stopped Chinese atrocities. And now watch the leftist media is going to focus on the atrocities by the Japanese army during the WWII and forget the present atrocities in China. We let Tiananmen Square Incident go without any sanctions. We let Tibet Masacre without any sanctions. We let Uyghur people to suffer. We let China invade its neighboring countries despite the decision by the world court.

The countries like India, Australia, Japan, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and England can't do it themselves against China. They needed US, and we let them down. And the Wall Street loves it. They can continue to sell our country. That's what they should do, because they are in it for the money in the short term. They don't care what happens in the next several years. It has always been that way. and after several years, there will be nothing for US to sell. The money to develop new technologies will dry up. And then what? China will send the human development several years back.

As for Biden, China has so much damning evidence of treason against Biden, Biden has no choice but to obey China. You think the evidence against Hunter came from no where? It came from China. If you didn't know that, you are fu*cking stupid. CCP is not united in one. Some in China wants Trump, because Trump maybe able to bring changes in China. But we knew that since last year. The Chinese run media like CNN, Washington Post, New York Times and NBC and Chinese run Silicon Valley tech companies successfully blocked the information to disseminate. It is so unbelievable that we were influenced into hate by China.

This. Absolutely. Now add in Disney, Apple and others that tow the Chinese line because otherwise they will be shut out of the Chinese markets. Want to see how many Politicians the Chinese have bought either through investments, bribes, and blackmail threats? Look to see who are the quickest to remove tariffs on China. Also watch how fast we start importing cars from China, and how fast restrictions on tech is removed. Imagine a 5G infrastructure built with equipment from Huawei, along with Chinese made control computers for dams, refineries and powerplants. Even today, Hollywood is afraid of angering China. Notice the remake of "Red Dawn," which originally had China invading the US, was changed to have North Korea invade instead. That Nortk Korean invasion scenario is implausible even for a comic book movie.

And the Chinese will help the Democrats become a one-party state.

The democrats will be dependent on Chinese Media Influence, since Big Tech and Wall Street wants a maximal Chinese Relationship, not to mention Hollywood.

It's in the Chinese-Democrat interest to double down on SJW, because it will help prevent any American Unification against their puppeteered Dem party.
