Arizona State Rep Drafts Legislation to Fine Big Tech After ‘Stop the Steal’ Censorship
Breitbart ^ | 01.03.2020 | Allum Bokhari

Posted on 01/03/2021 3:24:24 AM PST by USA Conservative

Twitter censored a number of accounts ahead of the January 6 “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, D.C., including Arizona State Rep Mark Finchem (R), who is now drafting legislation to fine big tech companies that engage in censorship.

According to draft legislation provided to the National File, Fincham’s bill would issue online services with fines if they are engaged in “editing, deleting, delisting, blocking, censoring, or making it difficult or impossible for online users to locate and access uploaded content in a timely manner.”

An exception is made for the deletion of pornographic or libelous content, or content that promotes violence.

Online services found to be in violation of Finchem’s proposed bill would have to pay the attorney general of Arizona an annual fine based on every online user in the state.

Finchem announced the bill this week after he was locked out of his Twitter account for encouraging Arizonans to call the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and urge them to implement an audit of the 2020 presidential vote.

After deleting his tweet, Finchem was allowed to re-access his Twitter account.

The Arizona Republican Party continues to encourage residents of the state to contact the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.

If Twitter and Jack Dorsey clearly violated Section 230 USC, then the US Attorney’s Office should open a criminal case against Twitter and Dorsey. I’m so sick and tired of Dorsey, Zuckerberg and other big tech. big wigs appearing before Congress, being held absolutely unaccountable for anything, and their companies continuing to do the same censorship of people’s First Amendment protected free speech. This is what happens in Third World and Communist countries, and to see it happening here is unfathomable. The people of this nation must rise up and fight for their rights, or risk losing them to the very government that is supposed to protect such rights.

Silicone Valley tech companies are all publicly-held. The SEC should have a look-see if investors.....
and advertisers....are being misled about the companies’ political activities and its readership numbers.

CONTACT: enforcement @SEC.gov

ITEM-—Facebook recently deleting half a billion accounts is solid evidence. The SEC should be advised to review whether
FACEBOOK misinformed advertisers and mislead investors.

ITEM-—Facebook may have misrepresented itself to advertisers so that it could charge more for ads.


Investors should be mailing their FACEBOOK Annual Reports to their attorneys, as we type.

The SEC prosecutes when publicly-held companies falsify Annual Reports.

ITEM——A couple of NY newspapermen were jailed b/c they cooked the books WRT readership —— to charge more for ads.

Big Tech’s real business model is offering free services in exchange for user data that helps Chinese businesses target Americans.
It’s why Facebook takes in $5 Bill a year in China ad money even though it’s not allowed to operate in Communist China’s dictatorship.

TRUMP’S SOCIAL MEDIA HUD COMPLAINT NOW IN MOTION : EXCERPT Facebook mines extensive user data and classifies its users based on protected characteristics. Facebook’s ad targeting tools then invite advertisers to express unlawful preferences by suggesting discriminatory options.

Among those options are physical disabilities, parents with children and even religious practices — advertisers are allowed to show their ads only to people Facebook deems interested in “Jesus” or the “Christian Church,” for example. Those practices could violate the Civil Rights Act, HUD said in the complaint, dated August 13.

Q. How does social media classify and ban certain groups
A. Watta coincidence (smirk). Obama compiled an “extremist list” that sorely resembles the groups being banned by social media.


Obama Declares War On ‘Extremism’ / FR Posted 1/13/15 by seekandfind

A list of 72 types of Americans that are considered to be “extremists” or “potential terrorists” in official U.S. government documents. This list will really give you a good idea of what Barack Obama means when he uses the word “extremist”. Each of these 72 items is linked (at web site).
As you can see, this list potentially includes most of the country…

OBAMA’S LIST OF EXTREMISTS AS FOUND IN OBAMA-ERA OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS:

Those that talk about “individual liberties,” that advocate for states’ rights, that want “to make the world a better place,” that are interested in “defeating the Communists”

Those that believe “that the interests of one’s own nation are separate from the interests of other nations or the common interest of all nations.”

Anyone that holds a “political ideology that considers the state to be unnecessary, harmful,or undesirable.”
Anyone that possesses an “intolerance toward other religions.”

Those that “take action to fight against the exploitation of the environment and/or animals”
“Anti-Gay,” “Anti-Immigrant,” “Anti-Muslim,”“The Patriot Movement,” “Opposition to equal rights for gays and lesbians”

Members of the Family Research Council, the American Family Association, Members of the American Border Patrol/American Patrol, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the Tennessee Freedom Coalition, the Christian Action Network, citizens networks.

Those “opposed to the New World Order,” engaged in “conspiracy theorizing”, those that believe that Mexico, Canada and the United States “are secretly planning to merge into a European Union-like entity that will be known as the ‘North American Union’”

Anyone opposed to Agenda 21, anyone concerned about FEMA camps, that “fears impending gun control or weapons confiscations,” the militia movement, sovereign citizen movement, that “don’t think they should have to pay taxes”

Anyone that “complains about bias,” that “believes in government conspiracies, that “is frustrated with mainstream ideologies,” that “visits extremist websites/blogs,” that “establishes website/blog to display extremist views,” that “attends rallies for extremist causes,” that “exhibits extreme religious intolerance,” that is personally connected with a grievance,” that “suddenly acquires weapons,” that “organizes protests inspired by extremist ideology”
“Militia or unorganized militia,” “General right-wing extremist,”

Citizens that have “bumper stickers” that are patriotic or anti-U.N., those that refer to an “Army of God,” that are “fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation),” that are “anti-global,” that are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” that “revere individual liberty,” that “believe in conspiracy theories”

Those that have “a belief that one’s personal and/or national ‘way of life’ is under attack,” that possess “a belief in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in paramilitary preparations and training or survivalism,” that would “impose strict religious tenets or laws on society (fundamentalists)” that would “insert religion into the political sphere,” that would “seek to politicize religion,” that have “supported political movements for autonomy.”

Anyone that is “anti-abortion.”

Anyone that is “Rightwing” including “Returning veterans,” those concerned about “illegal immigration,” those that “believe in the right to bear arms,” anyone that is engaged in “ammunition stockpiling”

Anyone that exhibits “fear of Communist regimes” “Anti-abortion activists” those against illegal immigration, those that talk about “the New World Order” in a “derogatory” manner

Those that have a negative view of the United Nations, that are opposed “to the collection of federal income taxes,” that supported former presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr, that display the Gadsden Flag (“Don’t Tread On Me”)

Those that believe in “end times” prophecies, including Evangelical Christians.

NOTE: Obama was assisted in compiling the list by the (GAG) Southern Poverty Law Center that raises mega bucks
compiling lists of “hate groups. SPLC was recently discredited as being racist and sexist.

All red states should instigate massive, coordinated antitrust actions against the far left big tech monopolies.
Not only that, conservative leaning governments in Europe like Poland, Ukraine etc, should set out to destroy evil outfits like Google, Twitter,Facebook etc.
If they don’t,these satanic companies will steal the elections in those countries too.
Left to me, I’d nuke these companies.
