Today, let’s shine a light on a story that flew under the radar for many Americans in 2023 but holds significant implications for our freedom of speech online.

Picture this: a federal district court judge, backed by a unanimous appellate panel, made a ruling that sent shockwaves through the digital world. They found that the Biden administration, along with the FBI, had coerced Big Tech into censoring dissenting voices online – a serious blow to our First Amendment rights.

Amendments are taking a real ass kicking under this administration WH reordering more boxes of erasers and ink.

This started with obama / biden. I remember when Ted Kennedy died in 2009 and the Mpls Red Star & Tribune online paper version in Minneapolis, Minnesota had over 900 negative comments about the killer Kennedy and counting that day. The next day they were gone and replaced by positive comments about Kennedy.

Soon online sites were restricting who could comment and it has gotten worse. Elon Musk threw a monkey wrench into the censorship when he bought Twitter and started to reveal who was behind the censorship.

“This is coming from multiple parts of the government. From the State Department, the FBI, Homeland Security, from really many, many parts of the government. It wasn’t just one arm of the government.”

Musk also revealed that “there’s a little-known agency in the state department called the Global Engagement Center, which most people have never heard of, but they might have been the single worst offender because they demanded the suspension of over 250,000 accounts which I think all Twitter largely complied with.”
