Friday, the last one in November. Four to go, the final one being Christmas Day 2020.
We’ve all learned over the last few years that two of the most popular social media sites in the world, Facebook and Twitter, have made it a practice to censor content. Interestingly, the censorship seems to apply only to conservative content in the forms of warnings, notices, restrictions, suspensions and outright bans.
Millions—and in Facebook’s case billions—of people around the world have accounts and rely on them not just to stay connected with friends, but to stay connected with the world around them in the form of news and opinion. That gives these sites a lot of power, including the power to sway public opinion.
In one of the most egregious examples of censorship, both companies tried to suppress the news of Hunter Biden’s laptop computer when the New York Post broke the story. Twitter locked the Post’s account and blocked sharing of the story, while Facebook limited it’s reach. A recent survey found that “45.1% of Biden voters said they were unaware of the laptop story.”
“According to our poll, full awareness of the Hunter Biden scandal would have led 9.4% of Biden voters to abandon the Democratic candidate, flipping all six of the swing states he won to Trump, giving the President 311 electoral votes,” reported the MRC.
That’s also true with Google, which seems to have manipulated their search results leading up to the presidential election. The Epoch Times reported that:
Google shifted a “bare minimum” of six million votes in the Nov. 3 presidential election by pushing its political agenda onto its users, a research psychologist has claimed.
In an interview with Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Dr. Robert Epstein, a senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology in California, suggested that the big tech company’s search manipulation could have prompted millions of Americans to shift their votes toward Democrats.
Add to that Fox News‘s blatantly early call that Arizona would go to Biden while waiting until almost all votes were tallied to call Florida, and Trump supporters had plenty of reason to revolt. And revolt they did, beginning to seek out other sites more friendly to conservative Americans.
I’ve also begun to post on alternative media alongside my Facebook and Twitter accounts, and thought I’d offer a simple guide to the new platforms that are available to us.
Enjoy, and have a great weekend.
This is a full breach of the first amendment – if this isn’t stopped, where it end? Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the comprehensive list of alternatives. Now, to get all my friends to switch over…
