Censorship is a wonderful thing. As long as she gets to decide who gets censored.
For nigh on 7 years, Democrats vocally denounced Facebook for not censoring enough. CEO Mark Zuckerberg was dragged in to testify before Congress about why he wasn’t doing enough to fight “misinformation” with more censorship. An entire censorship apparatus was unleashed whose purpose was to create a government-to-platform censorship pipeline. Recent efforts by Florida and Texas to ban the government from telling Big Tech platforms whom to censor is the subject of an extended court battle.
But wait, suddenly the censorship lobby is worried about censorship.
“Instagram’s reported removal and suppression of Palestine-related content raises serious questions. I’ve got a bill to require more transparency from Big Tech platforms and protect against algorithmic discrimination,” Sen. Warren tweeted out alongside an article by pro-terror site: The Intercept.
Sen. Warren was one of the loudest pro-censorship voices until now. Here she is demanding more censorship about global warming on Facebook. During her campaign, she was whining that, “Facebook changed its policies to allow users to instantaneously share information to groups, a troubling way to quickly spread disinformation to millions of users.”
Here she is in 2019 screeching that free speech on Facebook had turned it into a “disinformation-for-profit machine” .
This past week alone, Warren’s campaign has spent several thousand dollars in Facebook ads accusing Zuckerberg of “illegal anticompetitive practices,” fumbling the “responsibility to protect our democracy” and giving “Donald Trump free rein to lie on his platform.”
In 2020, Warren urged that, “we also need to crack down on the spread of disinformation that severely undermines free expression and legitimate journalism.”
That same year, Warren had moved on to digital book burning at Amazon.
In a six-page letter to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, Sen. Elizabeth Warren expressed concerns that the “search and ‘Best Seller’ algorithms” on the online retail giant’s website are spreading misinformation about vaccines and the treatment of COVID-19.
“During the week of August 22, 2021, my staff conducted sample searches on Amazon.com of pandemic-related terms such as ‘COVID-19,’ ‘COVID,’ ‘vaccine,’ ‘COVID 19 vaccine,’ and ‘pandemic.’ The top results consistently included highly-ranked and favorably-tagged books based on falsehoods about COVID-19 vaccines and cures.”
The same political hack who spent years demanding Big Tech censor everyone she disagreed with… is now threatening Facebook for censoring the terrorist supporters she agrees with.
I’ve said before that Sen. Warren is one of the most viciously cynical and dishonest people in the Senate. She’s fully embraced the leftist idea that there are no principles or rules: only victory at any cost.
Censorship is a wonderful thing. As long as she gets to decide who gets censored.

warren is a fool, a tool and a snake. She’s in favor of free speech except when she isn’t.
warren made the claim of Native American ancestry…free speech. But she didn’t like it one bit when she was mocked for making the false claim…also free speech, but not for her…for her it was outrageous.
warren is like all of the others who *think* like she does and they’ll go on showing just where their heart and soul lies. Not a good place, but it’s her choice.

Somehistory, I don’t think that I have disagreed with anything you have written but I have to say that Pocahontas is not a fool. She is part of the so far left as to make Lennin blush. She has no respect for the Constitution and would burn it in a millisecond. The real fools are the people who have sold their soul to the left and voted for her.
somehistory says
Ray, she may not be a “fool” in the usual sense, but she is a liar, and liars are heading for the certain place that was made for fools, liars, and “those disgusting in their filth.”
She has “sold her soul” for the power, money and celebrity afforded to today’s politicians. She will reap an ugly, evil, harvest.
Ray Jarman says
I totally agree.

Squawkahontas is good for one thing. Making the Democraps look like idiots.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Lisel, but they hardly need her help.

This article exemplifies some of the difficulties faced when trying to block disinformation. However, those are merely difficulties and the war against disinformation should continue unabated.

Facebook deleted pro Hamas content? Looks like hell froze over!

@JMichaelWaller
UN agency has a 59-page plan to censor online speech and control thought processes and narratives. Our government seems to be going along with it.

My ex wife who is Jewish and currently lives in Berkeley California, and grew up in Southern California, she is 100% supporter of Lizzie Warren and wants her to be the first female President, my ex wife also thinks Trump is THE most dangerous man in America and so I guess she learned nothing from me whatsoever in the 8 years we were together but at least I dont have anything to do her as she is now married to a very tall guy that couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag, a soy boy in other words.
Glad to know shes happy though.
OLD GUY says
Warren is a know it all, who thinks she is the smartest person in the room, just ask her. She loves power and will do anything to keep it, she’d sell her family into slavery to stay in power.
