Isabel Vincent has this today in the New York Post: Big Tech has showered Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors’ PAC and charities with millions in donations — and censors her online critics — as she backs their battle to control the internet. Philanthropists linked to Facebook, Twitter and Netflix have donated more than $7.5 million to […]

Censorship Epidemic on Facebook, Google, Twitter Drives Users to Alternatives
By now the election interference by Big Tech – specifically Facebook, Google, and Twitter– is indisputable. Also indisputable is that Congress will be powerless to alter their behavior, with at least another two years of guaranteed gridlock preventing the removal of Big Tech’s exemption under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which says the online companies are […]
Tech Giants Bankroll Extremists; Fuel False Narrative
Following the death of George Floyd at the hands of an out-of-control Minneapolis police officer, and demonstrations mixed with riots across the country, many American corporations weighed in with official statements or financial support for causes – or both. Unfortunately the involvement of some put them more on the side of divisiveness than unity, at […]
Twitter Drops Pretense of Neutrality by Censoring Trump
Twitter has now tried to censor the President of the United States, dropping any pretense of neutrality. On issues of race, Twitter’s neutrality was always a myth anyway. As the National Legal and Policy Center criticized, Twitter and its CEO Jack Dorsey embraced Black Lives Matter in 2014 at a time when its activists were […]
Facebook Embraces Free Speech for 2020, While Twitter Wants Censorship
Last week’s polar opposite decisions on the handling of political advertisements by Facebook and Twitter have predictably exposed the anti-free speech tendencies of the Left. The former announced it would allow candidate and issue ads and exempt them from the platform’s fact-checking operation that it employs for news reports. The latter said it would ban […]
Are Big Tech Executives Abetting Doxxing?
One of the more noxious aspects of anti-Trump radicalism is the growing practice of obtaining private information on public figures for the purpose of mobilizing large-scale harassment campaigns against them. The practice is known as “doxxing.” It’s highly illegal. Yet it thrives largely because of tacit encouragement from social media sites. That raises a couple […]
Twitter’s Denial of Bias Still Doesn’t Ring True
Perhaps the leaders of Silicon Valley’s major Internet-based tech companies be more credible if they heeded their conservative-leaning employees, who feel marginalized and muted, because of the leftist cultures they have cultivated in their workplaces. And maybe these executives would be taken more seriously if they would simply stop lying – especially in places such […]
Twitter and Dorsey Get It Right on Infowars
Twitter and CEO Jack Dorsey have come under criticism on this Web site and others over past efforts to censor conservatives, but in the high-profile case this week with provocateur Alex Jones and his organization Infowars, Twitter didn’t go along with the mob (Apple, Facebook, Google/YouTube, Pinterest and Spotify) and boot him from their social […]
Twitter Censors Another Voice It Doesn’t Like
A pro-life organization has caught Twitter in the act (again) of censoring yet another conservative policy advocate, while allowing the controversial Planned Parenthood to conduct its messaging on the social media platform unfettered. The accusation – with proof – came from Lila Rose, president of Live Action, who said on several occasions she has tried […]
