UN Secretary for Global Comms says they "own the science" on "climate change," and opposing viewpoints have now been pushed down in search results through their partnership with Google.
U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications Melissa Fleming said at a World Economic Forum event that the U.N. partnered with Google to manipulate search results for 'climate change.'

Twitter censored @FLSurgeonGen for sharing FL Dept of Health study, part of which @LisaMarieBoothe highlighted below. So, Twitter hall monitors know more than a Harvard MD/PhD?
Also, Dr. Ladapo is a STATE HEALTH OFFICIAL - an “authoritative source” by Twitter’s own definition.

It's kind of nice of them to make a list of good news sites for us! Please check out all the sites on that hit list.
Radical billionaire George Soros spent $30 million on efforts to pressure Big Tech companies to censor so-called “disinformation” on their platforms, financial records have revealed.
Soros has been funding a network of groups that have been publicly urging the heads of major online platforms to ramp up censorship ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
The same network of groups reportedly pressured Big Tech companies to censor “disinformation” in the run-up to the 2020 election, most notably forcing them to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
The groups are now applying heavier-handed pressure tactics by publicly calling on Silicon Valley executives to censor information before the midterms.
On October 13, the Soros-funded Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (LCCHR) spearheaded an open letter demanding tougher censorship online.
The letter is signed by 11 other liberal groups and calls on Big Tech CEOs to “[t]ake immediate steps to curb the spread of voting disinformation in the midterms and future elections and to help prevent the undermining of our democracy.”
The letter agonized over how “[t]he 2022 midterm elections are only a few weeks away, but online disinformation continues to confuse, intimidate, and harass voters, suppress the right to vote, and otherwise disrupt our democracy.”
The groups addressed the letter to:
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg
Google CEO Sundar Pichai
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal
YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew
Snap (formerly Snapchat) CEO Evan Spiegel
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri
Between 2016 and 2020, Soros gave a staggering $30,325,500 to at least seven of the 12 total signatories.

Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb flagged Alex Berenson tweet to Twitter
Gottlieb is accused of trying to get the journalist banned.
I have to admit that the US media tolerates no criticism of Jews as a group at all, ever.

Pro Tip: Add a question mark at the end of your controversial tweets. They can’t suspend you for asking questions.
@ShaggyKC
They'll suspend you anyway.
@tweettruth2me
Nope. I’ve tested it. Same info with and without a ? Got suspended on the one without.

I thought that way. Then I thought, it's free, and why cede the field and let them dominate by default?

Because it's a propaganda site.
If you keep posting what they don't like, they just shadowban you.
What you are reading is what is acceptable. There's literally no reason to be on it. If you want to know what is going on in the world, you can't do it by using Facebook, Youtube, or Twitter. There's a reason this very site exists.
Please believe me Google, Twitter, and Facebook basically ARE the government. Posting there is like writing letters to the editor to Pravda in 1985 trying to explain to them the usefulness of voluntary markets of exchange. People need to stop wasting their time on these sites or begging them to PLEASE allow free speech, it's never going to happen.

And, Elon will eventually take it over. It's gonna be hilarious because I have lists of obvious bots/boiler roomers (less than 300 followers, claims to be account dating to 2009) and I bet most of them will disappear shortly after Elon.
Don't cede the field, if it's fun to drop a few banana peels, do it.
The issue isn't it's full of propaganda and it might be read, the issue is that it's full of propaganda so fuck with them a bit.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the president’s chief medical advisor, and nine other top White House officials will be deposed as part of an ongoing lawsuit that was filed by Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general Jeff Landry and Eric Schmitt, alleging collusion between the federal government and social media companies to censor certain viewpoints.
You're fighting on land that isn't worth keeping.
When youtube was still a useful place to discuss things, I would use it to discuss things, and even after censorship was activated, I continued, for a bit, but after a point, all that's left are the dregs of society. Morons, bots, idiots, twats. Nobody worth engaging with.
and here is where the gig may be up for fauci and a great many others.
the lawsuit missouri et al vs about the whole of US public health is progressing in its exploration of the explicit and deliberate role of the US government and many of its agents including fauci, murthy, biden, and jankowicz (amidst a cast of dozens and several agencies) in the systematic shaping, suppression, and censorship of information regarding covid. as those quaint few who still believe in things like “the 1st amendment” may recall, this is a bit of a constitutional no no.
the government is not allowed to dominate the press.
this is a matter of sound and settled law.
2. A private entity violates the First Amendment “if the government coerces or induces it to take action the government itself would not be permitted to do, such as censor expression of a lawful viewpoint.” Biden v. Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia Univ., 141 S. Ct. 1220, 1226 (2021) (Thomas, J., concurring). “The government cannot accomplish through threats of adverse government action what the Constitution prohibits it from doing directly.” Id.
Tucker Carlson slammed Amazon for banning the sale of books by Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin and signed a light on the government's key role in this censorship on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
TUCKER CARLSON: So you go on Amazon.com and you remember this started as a bookstore and online bookstore. It's the biggest bookstore in the world. They have everything. There's nothing you can't find an Amazon, including used books. So if you were to go into Amazon to read books by a man who is in the news and whose ideas are directly bearing on world events, you look for a guy called Aleksandr Dugin.
Dugin is one of Russia's most famous authors and political philosophers. He doesn't work for the government; he doesn't work for Vladimir Putin. He's just a philosopher. So if you're interested in like, "What are they thinking over there?'" you would search Dugin's author page on Amazon, but you would not find any results. Really? Kind of a big author to be left off Amazon. ...
Then we learned that Amazon and the Justice Department were ignoring our Bill of Rights. Amazon apparently based its decision on a Treasury Department designation concerning "disinformation." And that designation applies not only to Dugin, but also to his family, though not to his daughter, who was murdered recently by the Ukrainian government. But we're not allowed to say that. What did she do wrong?
I tried the Left’s new social media platform and was banned in 20 minutes ...
I came across a tweet from October 17th claiming the platform doesn't “...censor any posts. [The] algorithms simply filter out fake news, bigotry, and hostility” and I thought this was a great opportunity to put their claim to the test.
I opened an account and posted a few messages, the first reading “Men cannot get pregnant.” Others included “men cannot become women and women cannot become men,” and “Joe Biden sniffs little girls.” ...
In less than 20 minutes, my account was suspended and I was banned from the platform. Tribel posted statements categorizing me as “racist,” “transphobic” and bigoted. So much for Tribel Social combating “fake news!” Apparently stating “men cannot get pregnant” is transphobic— Biology is bigoted and racist!
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling for increased censorship and “interventions” in free speech rights to “improve safety” online.
In a new twist, German economist Klaus Schwab’s organization claims it is “thinking of the children” with its new push for online content moderation.
In a bit over a week Stanford University–or more properly the Stanford University School of Business in conjunction with the Hoover Institution–will hold a conference on promoting free speech in academia.
Predictably a bunch of Stanford professors are trying to cancel it, either literally or metaphorically, complaining that their voices will not be heard. Not that they weren’t invited to attend, of course, but rather that, having declined, they will not be just let in, presumably to protest and disrupt the conference. If they attended as invited guests they would be implicitly acknowledging that the ideas about which the conference is based upon are legitimate, and nothing Leftist dislike can be legitimized in any way.
The premise of the conference is laid out on the front page of their website:
Academic freedom, open inquiry, and freedom of speech are under threat as they have not been for decades. Visibly, academics are “canceled,” fired, or subject to lengthy disciplinary proceedings in response to academic writing or public engagement. Less visibly, funding agencies, university bureaucracies, hiring procedures, promotion committees, professional organizations, and journals censor some kinds of research or demand adherence to political causes. Many parts of universities have become politicized or have turned into ideological monocultures, excluding people, ideas, or kinds of work that challenge their orthodoxy. Younger researchers are afraid to speak and write and don’t investigate promising ideas that they fear will endanger their careers.
The two-day Academic Freedom Conference, arranged by the organizing committee, aims to identify ways to restore academic freedom, open inquiry, and freedom of speech and expression on campus and in the larger culture and restore the open debate required for new knowledge to flourish. The conference will focus on the organizational structures leading to censorship and stifling debate and how to repair them.
It is indeed true that the conference attendance has been limited to invited guests, but the reason for that is obvious: dissenters from the prevailing Narrative™ are unwelcome on college campuses. They are harassed, yelled at, shouted down, and occasionally worse. Comedians rarely visit campuses any more because they are dominated by a political monoculture where any deviation from accepted speech is unacceptable–which of course precludes comedy.
Visiting a college campus today reminds one more of China during the Cultural Revolution than anything recognizable to those of us who attended college or graduate school decades ago. The signs of the impending rot were there, but there was still room for dissent. One of the reasons I abandoned my PhD and left academia was a sense that there was no room for me any more on the modern campus. I believe I was right about that.
No longer does intellectual freedom exist on our campuses..

It's coming, and it will encapsulate the Social Justice Revolution as part of American Canon, so to criticize it will be subject to censorship.
