Misinfo Queen Nina Jankowicz Spreads More Disinformation

Nina Jankowicz didn’t exactly have her rhetorical 15 minutes of fame, but she was a household name for a hot minute, which she has milked into a career thanks to the Handmaiden media. The ‘Jank’ went from obscure to front page when she was appointed to lead the Biden Administration’s Disinformation Governance Board. A construct … Read more

Facebook is About to Get a Little Bit Less Censorious

I wandered over to a different Grok, X’s AI, and found this headline. META Ditches Fact-Checkers for Community Notes. Who doesn’t click on that? Here’s what it said. Multiple Media reports confirm this as accurate. As many of our readers have been banned, thrown in Facebook Jail, and throttled by Meta, we look forward to … Read more

Elected Officials Should Read This Before Blocking People on Social Media

I wrote this last year, but with a new session just a few days away, I thought this might be a good time to revisit it. Elected officials who use social media accounts to report on their duties, votes, bills, hearings, or anything similar are setting themselves up to get sued if they block people … Read more

“Private Entities Cannot Be Permitted to Partner With the Government To Censor Americans’ Speech,”

My headline quotes Nicolas Barry. He’s America First Legal Senior Counsel, and he points out the problem the Trump administration will need to wrestle with if it intends to ‘Shatter the left-wing censorship machine.’ You can fire public employees (it is not always easy, but it can be done), investigate them for suppressing protected speech, … Read more

Another Deluded Democrat Narrative Mule

The fallout from the withdrawal of Mindy Atwood for State Librarian continues to amuse. I think I made the points that needed making yesterday here (If Book Banning Is Bad, Why Can You Do It?) and here (Actually, Libraries Are The Problem), but when proglodytes give you low-hanging fruit…you make jam out of them. InDepth … Read more

Censorship Industrial Complex Takes A Hit

The US State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC) was originally authorized and funded for eight years, and that time has ended. The current Defense funding bill provides no joy or taxpayer dollars to finance its purpose: to identify and censor (or suppress) global terrorism online, which pivoted to silencing center-right political populism beginning in 2016 … Read more

The State’s War Against Hate

Disinformation Isn’t the Problem. Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

“What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer… And a … Read more

Bureaucrats Worry Democracy Will Get In The Way Of Their Climate Agenda

I have frequently written over the last several years that the agenda of the climate-alarm lobby in the western world is not consistent with the maintenance of democratic forms of government. Governments maintained by free elections, the free flow of communications and other democratic institutions are not able to engage in the kinds of long-term … Read more

Enabling a ‘Brutus’ to Slay the Elon Musk ‘Caesar’

In the Washington Post on Monday, the headlines read: Musk and Durov are facing the revenge of the regulators. Former US Labor Secretary, Robert Reich, in the British Guardian newspaper, published a piece on how to “rein-in” Elon Musk, suggesting that “regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest” on lines of that which befell Pavel Durov recently … Read more

Kamala’s Press Chief Tried To Censor Me

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is not missing any chance to condemn Republicans for threatening to censor libraries and school textbooks. But she is overlooking the heavy-handed record of her chief spokesperson, Brian Fallon. Unfortunately, a recent Supreme Court decision opens the floodgates for far more federal censorship. When Fallon was press chief at the … Read more

Who’s Banning Books Now?

The legislature passed just this year S.220 – An act relating to Vermont’s public libraries. The ostensible need for the law was summed up by the WCAX headline, “Vermont Senate advances bill to discourage book banning.” This was, in great part, a reaction by our legislators to parents around the country objecting to highly sexualized materials … Read more

Despotic Facebook is Marking ‘Grok Posts as Spam – Are We That Close to The Election?

Let’s open by thanking the handful of people who have reached out to tell me that Facebook is taking down the Grok posts they share. The Platform marks them as spam and removes them for violating community standards. It is expected, and we know, but we don’t just have to take it.

In 2016, New Hampshire Police and Fire rewarded Concord PD Julie Curtin for inter-Alia calling around the world to get internet posts taken down regarding Chessy Prout, the state witness in NH v Owen Labrie. She was rewarded for going above and beyond and getting “justice for the victim.”

Is Brazil’s War on Speech a ‘Test’ by US and UK Censorship Assets?

Columbia is famous for its coffee, and Brazil is renowned for its censorship. At least it is now. And while censorship in some form is not uncommon anywhere in the world, recent events in Brazil, led by Superior Electoral Court (TSE) Justice Alexandre de Moraes, have opened a whole new door.
