‘Does Congress Know That This Is How Communism Starts?’: Trump Condemns Big Tech Policing of Free Speech

President Donald Trump on Christmas Eve repeated his concerns over Big Tech censorship a day after he vetoed a defense-spending bill over Congress’s failure to remove liability protections for Silicon Valley’s social media companies.

“Twitter is going wild with their flags, trying hard to suppress even the truth. Just shows how dangerous they are, purposely stifling free speech. Very dangerous for our Country. Does Congress know that this is how Communism starts?” Trump said in a Twitter post on Thursday night.

“Cancel Culture at its worst. End Section 230!” he said.

Trump and his administration have repeatedly underscored the risks of unbalanced policing of user content on social media platforms, claiming that the companies are engaging in conduct that limits conservative viewpoints and stifles free speech. The president and the Justice Department have urged Congress to roll back legal protections under Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act for companies that have engaged in censoring or political conduct.

Section 230 largely exempts online platforms from liability for content posted by their users, although they can be held liable for content that violates anti-sex trafficking or intellectual property laws.

The law allows companies to block or screen content “in good faith” if they consider it “obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable.” The protections, however, weren’t intended to apply to services that act more like publishers than online platforms, outgoing Attorney General William Barr said in a speech in May.

Leading up to and after the November general election, Twitter ramped up its policing of posts by the president and other users over claims of voter fraud. In a Nov. 12 update, the social media company said it had applied labels, warnings, and other restrictions to about 300,000 posts from Oct. 27 to Nov. 11 for content that they classified as “disputed and potentially misleading.” This number represents about 0.2 percent of all U.S. election-related posts published in that time period.

A series of Trump’s posts that argued that there has been voter fraud have been labeled with: “This claim about election fraud is disputed.” For example, Twitter labeled Trump’s Nov. 22 post that stated: “In certain swing states, there were more votes than people who voted, and in big numbers. Does that not really matter? Stopping Poll Watchers, voting for unsuspecting people, fake ballots and so much more. Such egregious conduct. We will win!”

Following Dec. 14, the social media giant has been labeling some posts with “Election officials have certified Joe Biden as the winner of the U.S. Presidential election,” even though a number of legal challenges against 2020 election results—several that have reached the U.S. Supreme Court—have not been resolved.

On Wednesday, Trump carried through with his promise to block the defense-spending bill, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), because it failed to make changes to section 230, among other reasons. He also characterized the bill as a “gift” to the Chinese Communist Party and Russia.

“Unfortunately, the Act fails to include critical national security measures, includes provisions that fail to respect our veterans and our military’s history, and contradicts efforts by my Administration to put America first in our national security and foreign policy actions,” he said in a Dec. 23 statement.

The DOJ has also been active in encouraging lawmakers to consider making amendments to what they describe as “outdated” law. They introduced a set of proposals earlier in the year that would curtail broad legal protections for online platforms in an effort to push tech companies to address illicit material while moderating content responsibly.

It also urged lawmakers to consider taking up proposals to update section 230 back in October when Twitter began suppressing a series of exposés by the New York Post about the alleged business dealings of Hunter Biden, son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

“The events of recent days have made reform even more urgent,” Assistant Attorney General Stephen E. Boyd wrote in the letter (pdf) obtained by media outlets. “Today’s large online platforms hold tremendous power over the information and views available to the American people. It is therefore critical that they be honest and transparent with users about how they use that power. And when they are not, it is critical that they can be held accountable.”

Recovering From The Midterm Damage Requires Something More Demanding Than Waiting For The Political Winds To Shift

Here is my assessment of the scene: it is bad, but it is not fatal. Recovery requires something more demanding than waiting for the political winds to shift. It requires citizens willing to pray when they are discouraged, vote when they are disappointed, and stand for truth when doing so is costly or unpopular. At a crime scene, once the immediate danger has passed, the work is not finished. There are facts to establish, responsibilities to fulfill, and people who need help moving forward. The same is true now. We cannot recover everything that has been lost. But we can refuse to surrender what remains — and faithfully do our part to preserve this Republic.

Death By Overpopulation: Scientists In The 1960s Predicted ‘Doomsday’ Would Arrive Today

At the time, the researchers said, “Our great-great-grandchildren will not starve . . . they will be squeezed to death.” To stop the upcoming “squeeze,” the researchers argued that humanity needed to work together to halve the birth rate—something people actually did (the American birth rate is 1.6). And now there are grave concerns about underpopulation and what that will do to society. This utterly wrong prediction had serious consequences, including apparently helping the deadly Roe v. Wade decision to pass regarding legalizing abortion.

‘Unwavering Voice For The Voiceless’: Cissie Graham Lynch Sits for Senate Confirmation Hearing for Religious Freedom Ambassador

The lessons that have shaped her most deeply, she said, came from “sitting with mothers who’ve lost sons and daughters to persecution, listening to pastors who’ve rebuilt their congregations after their churches have been burned, and meeting families driven from their homes because of their beliefs.” Those encounters remain vivid. “I’ve stood in the mass graveyards in northern Iraq,” Lynch said. “I’ve spoken with displaced women in Sudan hiding in the mountains. I’ve met with family members of the 21 Coptic Christians who have been beheaded by ISIS on the shores of Libya. They are not statistics. They have faces, names, and families, and I will carry their stories with me into this role.”
