This was a collaborated plan....
There is no denying it now.

The plan was enforced in a collaborative effort.
That is an Anti-Trust violation.

All the way back to 2016, it was determined that the conservative voices need to be silenced in a collective effort from the power of the internet.

One must also acknowledge that social media platforms are incredibly efficient enablers of the individual right to freedom of expression.
These proposals are certainly worthy of consideration, but times of uncertainty require caution: any attempt to deal with the influence of social media on the distribution of information and on public debates should be approached as a learning process for all parties involved. As discussed in our previous blog, this learning process is essential for democratic societies. As a collective experience, these initiatives should be open, participatory and transparent. All stakeholders – media companies, journalists, civil society, academia, and social media giants – should collaborate on projects to build a better understanding of how to address the impact of social media giants on civic space, media pluralism and the diversity of content. Discussions must also focus on the development of appropriate remedies, including solutions to flawed algorithmic processes, to help audiences to spot possible misinformation and ensure users’ exposure to a real diversity of opinions and ideas.

Uh, do you really not know the difference between a random website advocating that big media companies should work together and actual proof they did?

A man can get censored, banned or permabanned without prejudice for breaking TOS whether it is hates peech, lies or defamatory material. Even trolling, flaming and ever-baiting.
Where does it say, Congress cannot expand free speech?
The internet is involved in interstate & global commerce. Guess what congress does have the power to do.
Take a wild guess.

This is where it gets interesting. People cannot even have guest speakers on their programs, or be silenced. They are digging themselves a deeper hole, trying to overturn, NYT v. Sullivan.

Add more government regulations and control of businesses, making it strange that conservatives would want this?

Physical Actions of an individual, are much different than spoken or printed words, when talking about the 1st amendment.


Here, we have rights that protect the word, NO.

So lay it out...how do you see NYT vs. Sullivan meaning that YouTube shouldn't be able to ban Alex Jones?

It is actually part of the Federal Governments original job description, before we became governed by fascist.

Expanding and securing the peoples rights.... Not taking them.

Then they got freaky during the 60's and determined all business in the USA, is/are controlled by the federal government, to give a segment of society special privilege. They did it then, they can do it now, with a key word as the mechanism.

The 16th amendment created the Fascism you love today.
Get rid of the 16th amendment and all this mess goes away instantly.


What if Congress passed a law that said business in the USA cannot restrict, deny, or retract, any persons freedom to speak?
Nothing denies them they can't.


Government regulations to protect the peoples right, is not deniable to Congress. It is their JOB!
That is the reason for Communication laws. To secure free speech.
