Internet giants proposed new regulations to crack down on content this week.

This comes one week after Hillary Clinton suffered a stunning loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

Via WTVM— Both Facebook and Google have announced that they are curbing the searchability of phony news across their platforms. Google said they would stop fake and misleading websites from utilizing the company’s ad-selling software, stopping their revenue.

Twitter also announced Tuesday that it would update its “mute” function for users to hide content they do not want to see.

Now this… A far left Massachusetts professor has compiled a list of “fake and misleading” news websites.

From his report—

False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and/or Satirical “News” Sources

You know the responsibility for such a move would be hung on Trump, not you.

Conservatives need our own version of a Twitter like program prior to 2018. Something that can’t be randomly filtered by its leftist owners.

“A far left Massachusetts professor has compiled a list of ‘fake and misleading’ news websites. From his report ...”

Good to promote this story, but this is just sloppy reporting.

First, the person who came up with this list is a woman, not a man. And second, she’s just an assistant professor, not a full professor.

Phony news...

You mean like Brian Williams (MSNBC) spreading the lie that Donald Trump put his kids in for a Top Secret clearance?

*IF* this is a “Mass. professor”, I believe that his name would be fanned in front of all of us.

I did NOT see on ‘this professor’s list’:
The Doctor of Common Sense;
Diamond and Silk;
Alfonso Rachel.

Could it be that this ‘Mass. professor’ is a Negro, and does not want to be outed???
