Under the guise of combating\u2063 &#8220;disinformation,&#8221;\u200b the Department of Homeland Security \u200dand the\u200b Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency worked with Stanford University, think tanks, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-director-christopher-wray-testifies-before-house-judiciary-committee\/\" title=\"FBI Director Christopher Wray testifies before House Judiciary Committee\">popular social media platforms<\/a>\u200c to \u2063censor a \u2064wide range of content,\u2062 including factual \u2062reporting and satire.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c report, which spans 103 pages,\u200c details how Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, and\u200d YouTube were among the platforms involved in this\u200c censorship\u2064 campaign. The committee argues that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/government-secretly-worked-with-universities-big-tech-to-censor-americans-congressional-report-reveals\/\" title=\"Government, universities, and big tech collaborated covertly to censor Americans, reveals congressional report.\">government intentionally suppressed \u2064constitutionally protected speech<\/a> by coordinating with third-party organizations and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-compares-biden-admins-social-media-censorship-to-mafia-style-tactics-as-biden-lawyers-claim-no-proof-of-coercion\/\" title=\"Judge likens Biden administration's social media censorship to mafia tactics; Biden lawyers deny coercion evidence.\">social \u200bmedia platforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, government\u200c agents would flag opinions, \u2062statements, and reports\u2062 online \u200dthat they disagreed with.

While the \u200csystem was purportedly created to protect Americans from foreign disinformation, it was actually used to target voters and candidates.<\/p>\n<p>The report also reveals that true information,\u200d jokes, and political opinions were censored by\u2064 the federal government and universities pressuring social media companies. \u200dNotable\u200d figures who fell victim to this censorship included former President Donald Trump, House and Senate Republicans, news agencies \u2063like Newsmax, high-profile conservative commentators, and the conservative satire website The Babylon \u2062Bee.\u2063 Additionally, countless everyday Americans from all political affiliations were affected.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Rep. \u2063Jim\u200b Jordan \u2062of Ohio, \u200cthe \u2063chair\u2063 of the House Judiciary Committee,\u200c shared some of the report&#8217;s findings \u200bon\u2064 his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-whistleblower-edward-snowdens-wife-shares-photos-of-their-new-son\/\" title=\"U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden\u2019s wife shares photos of their new son\">social media page<\/a>, emphasizing the collaboration between \u2063the federal government, \u2063disinformation &#8220;experts&#8221; at universities, Big Tech, and others \u200cto monitor\u200c and censor Americans&#8217; speech.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The federal government, disinformation \u201cexperts\u201d at\u2063 universities, Big Tech, and others \u2063worked together through the\u2064 Election Integrity Partnership to monitor &#038; censor Americans\u2019 speech.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.

The ability to express one&#8217;s thoughts and opinions without fear of censorship or retribution \u2063is a fundamental right of every American. No institution or organization, whether it be the government, Big Tech companies, or academia, should hold the\u200c power to silence dissenting voices or control the\u200c flow of information.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u200b the report raises serious concerns about the impartiality and objectivity of social media platforms. By advocating for and participating in \u200bthis \u2063censorship campaign, these platforms have demonstrated a clear bias against certain political ideologies and viewpoints. This bias undermines their claim to\u200c be neutral platforms for open discussion and debate.<\/p>\n<p>In order to restore trust in our institutions and safeguard the \u2064principles of free speech, it is essential that transparency and accountability be prioritized. \u2063The report calls for greater transparency in the decision-making processes of social media platforms, as well as increased oversight\u2063 and regulation by Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, individuals \u200cwho have been unfairly censored or targeted must have \u200brecourse\u200c and the ability to challenge these actions. The report suggests\u200b establishing an independent oversight body to review and address complaints of censorship and content moderation practices.<\/p>\n<p>Protecting the free speech rights of all Americans should be a non-partisan\u2062 priority. It is crucial that \u2062policymakers, regardless of their political affiliations, recognize the seriousness of this issue and\u2064 take decisive action to uphold the principles upon \u2063which our democracy was founded.<\/p>\n<p>The consequences of allowing such collusion to continue\u200b unchecked are dire. If we do not protect and defend free speech, we risk living in a society where only approved opinions are allowed, stifling the rich diversity of thought and ideas that is \u200cessential for progress\u2064 and a healthy democracy.<\/p>\n<p>The report from the\u200b House Judiciary Committee should serve as a wake-up call to all Americans who value their right to\u200b free expression. We must unite in demanding accountability and transparency from our government, Big Tech, and\u2064 academia to \u200densure that \u2062the voices of all Americans are heard and protected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justice, Big Tech companies, and academic institutions collaborated to suppress free speech during the 2020 election.
