Poynter, a self-proclaimed resource for accurate journalism and fact-checking, has repeatedly demonstrated its bias towards leftist sensibilities and its willingness to suppress any ideas critical of the regime. Roth&#8217;s censorship philosophy aligns with Poynter&#8217;s agenda, as he has been behind much of Twitter&#8217;s collusion with government agencies to censor information that hurts Democrats. This cozy censorship relationship is further displayed in the fact that Meta, TikTok, and YouTube are event sponsors, and two Meta employees are on the speaker list. It&#8217;s clear that this summit is not about fact-checking, but rather about suppressing dissenting voices.<\/p>\n<p>Join the conversation on social media and let us know your thoughts on this &#8220;fact-checking&#8221; summit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Twitter trust and safety head Yoel Roth, who censored the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election, will speak at a Poynter Institute &#8220;fact-checking&#8221; summit.
