CAIR CONVINCES TEXAS LIBRARY TO REMOVE BOOK CRITICAL OF AL-QAEDA

 CAIR applauded Plano Library’s “commitment to diversity” for their act
of censorship removing Frank Miller’s graphic novel, “Holy Terror”
calling it “anti-Muslim.” Miller denies knowing much about Islam to
dislike it, but focused only on Al-Qaeda in New York.
CAIR CONVINCES TEXAS LIBRARY TO REMOVE BOOK CRITICAL OF AL-QAEDA

The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Dallas-Fort Worth chapter (CAIR-DFW) recently “applauded
a decision by the Plano Library to resolve an issue related to
anti-Muslim material in its catalog.” CAIR claims to have convinced this
Texas library to remove the book Holy Terror by renowned graphic-novel author Frank Miller, a disturbing act of censorship and a flagrant violation of longstanding library standards.

This author asked the Plano Library Director Libby Holtmann about the
book’s removal. She stated that the library “did not remove the subject
item from its collection from a request by anyone including CAIRDFW,”
but rather “was alerted by a comment sent through social media.”
Examination of Holy Terror revealed “that it did not have any
professional reviews,” which she claimed is a “necessary component for
maintaining an item.” She also cited library records showing little
reader interest in Holy Terror.

In fact, dozens of reviews of the comic book have been published, including by
prominent newspapers and peer-reviewed journals. Plano library’s
dubious response leaves several troubling questions. What was this
social media comment that led to an immediate “evaluation” of Holy Terror? Why does Plano Library appear to be kowtowing to CAIR? Does the very controversy itself surrounding Holy Terror raised by groups such as CAIR not justify keeping a copy for the sake of healthy public debate?

CAIR’s opposition to Holy Terror, a story of comic
superheroes battling Al Qaeda in New York City, goes back to when it
first appeared in 2011. CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad had condemned Holy Terror as a “shameful” example of how “Islamophobia is becoming mainstream.” That same year, journalist Spencer Ackerman wrote that “Holy Terror is a screed against Islam.”

Accordingly, CAIR-DFW Executive Director John Janney asked the Plano
library about “standards, policies or code of ethics that the publicly
funded library followed when faced with publications that dehumanize or
marginalize minorities.” This applied, he claimed, “especially when
those publications are targeted at children” (which the adult graphic
novel Holy Terror is in fact not). Although paying lip service
to First-Amendment free speech guarantees, CAIR-DFW’s argued that
“imposing hate literature on a captive audience of children is not
appropriate” for a library’s mass holdings.

CAIR-DFW also claimed that Miller had in 2018 “expressed regret for
the book” — implying that Miller would support the censorship of Holy Terror. Yet he actually stated, in a Guardian interview, that he did not “want to go back and start erasing books I did.” Importantly, he described Holy Terror in a 2011 interview as
a specific “screed against Al Qaeda,” not Islam. “The issue here is a
method of killing. It’s not a religion,” he explained. “I can tell you
squat about Islam,” but “I know a goddamn lot about Al Qaeda and I want
them all to burn in Hell.”

Ironically, CAIR-DFW’s announcement appeared during the annual Banned Books Week of the American Library Association (ALA), the “oldest and largest library association in the world,” founded in 1876. During Banned Book Week, ALA promotes a
“Stand for the Banned Read-Out” for people to “declare your literary
freedoms by reading from a banned book or discussing censorship issues
on camera.” Since the Week’s 1982 beginnings, “libraries and bookstores
throughout the country have staged local read-outs, continuous readings
of banned and challenged books.”

Similarly, ALA’s Library Bill of Rights “affirms
that all libraries… should challenge censorship” and provide
“information presenting all points of view on current and historical
issues.” “Toleration is meaningless without tolerance for what some may
consider detestable,” ALA elaborates,
concluding that “partisan or doctrinal disapproval” should not restrict
library material. Purportedly, the ALA even “opposes all attempts to
restrict access to library services, materials, and facilities based on
the age of library users.”

The ALA has thus throughout the years monitored “challenges
to library, school and university materials” in its “Top Ten Most
Challenged Books” lists. Motives for book removal have included “racism,
violence… anti-ethnic… occult/satanic… sexually explicit… offensive
language… unsuited to age group.” The ALA defends the right for
libraries to offer even these “offensive” books.

Correspondingly, Plano libraries hold a wide variety of materials, such as Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf and a DVD of the 1915 American white supremacist film Birth of a Nation. Plano’s holdings also include the anti-Israel screed The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy. And while CAIR-DFW professes concern over Miller’s influence upon children, Plano library continues to hold over 20 other Miller titles.

CAIR-DFW’s claimed censorship success raises troubling questions over
what might be next on the Islamist book banning index. The seriousness
of issues involving Islam in the modern world should demand more speech
about Islam, not less. But CAIR and its allies have argued precisely the
opposite. Journalist Spencer Ackerman in particular played a central role in
the 2011 federal government purge of government training materials
covering vital Islamist doctrines such as jihad, something he dismissed
as irrelevant following the military debilitation of Al Qaeda.

CAIR certainly seems to show little respect for constitutional free
speech rights, as CAIR’s attempted suppression of critical inquiry into
Islam has extended well beyond Plano. In 2014, for example, CAIR
chapters tried to stop anti-Islamist events in a Chicago-area public library and a Knoxville, Tennessee public high school.

Americans concerned about free speech should stand up to CAIR and contact the Plano library for a return of Holy Terror to
the catalog, a book that many may want to examine following CAIR’s
public opposition. Middle East Forum president Daniel Pipes has labeled censorship of speech about Islam as “Rushdie Rules.” Such suppression should have no place in a public library. Readers should form their own opinions about Holy Terror, Islam, and Islamism without any de facto fatwa from CAIR.

VIDEO: MUSLIM DEBATER MOHAMMED HIJAB IMITATES MUHAMMAD, DISPLAYS ISLAMIC DEBATING TACTICS IN DEBATE WITH DAVID WOOD

In this debate with David Wood yesterday, Mohammed Hijab gives an
ugly example of what are all too common tactics employed by Muslim
debaters. This debate is an unpleasant experience to watch, because
Hijab’s arrogance, contempt, and hatred are on full, open, unapologetic
display, to the utter glee of the mostly Muslim audience, which twice
erupts into “Allahu akbars.” Many Muslim spokesmen have directed the
same arrogance, contempt, and hatred toward me on numerous occasions,
and this is because Muhammad himself, the prophet of Islam, directed his
followers to deal with unbelievers in this way. Consider these hadiths
(thanks to Sam Shamoun), one of which David Wood refers to right at the end of the debate:

Ubayy b. Ka’b told that he heard God’s messenger say, “If
anyone proudly asserts his descent in the manner of the pre-Islamic
people, tell him to bite his father’s penis, and do not use a
euphemism.” It is transmitted in Sarah [sic] as-sunna. (Mishkat Al Masabih,
English Translation With Explanatory Notes By Dr. James Robson [Sh.
Muhammad Ashraf Publishers, Booksellers & Exporters, Lahore,
Pakistan, Reprinted 1994], Volume II, Book XXIV — General Behaviour,
Chapter XIII. Boasting and Party-Spirit, p. 1021)

And:

Then ‘Urwah said: “Muhammad, tell me: if you extirpate
your tribesmen, have you ever heard of any of the Arabs who destroyed
his own race before you? And if the contrary comes to pass, by God I see
both prominent people and rabble who are likely to flee and leave you.”
Abu Bakr said, “Go suck the clitoris of al-Lat!” — al-Lat was the idol
of Thaqif, which they used to worship — “Would we flee and leave him?” (The History of al-Tabari — The Victory of Islam, translated by Michael Fishbein [State University of New York Press (SUNY), Albany 1997], Volume VIII (8), p. 76)

And in the words of Abu Bakr As-Sideeq to ‘Urwah: “Suck Al-Lat’s
clitoris!” — there is a permissibility of speaking plainly the name of
the private parts if there is some benefit to be gained thereby, just as
he [Muhammad] permitted a plain response to the one who made the claims
of the Jahiliyyah (i.e. claims of tribal superiority), by saying: “Bite
your father’s penis!”[3] And for every situation there is a (fitting)
saying. (Provisions for the Hereafter (Mukhtasar Zad Al-Ma’ad),
by Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, summarized by Imam Muhammad Ibn Abdul
Wahhab At-Tamimi [Darussalam Publishers & Distributors, First
Edition: September 2003], Chapter. Regarding the Story of
Al-Hudaibiyyah, p. 383; source; words within brackets ours)

There is a great deal more that is illustrative in this debate. Note
also that Mohammed Hijab, while repeatedly berating David Wood for
supposedly mocking Muslims, which he never actually has done, invokes
James White as a model Christian debater worthy of respect. There is one
primary reason for this: White has allowed Muslim Brotherhood-linked imam Yasir Qadhi to spread lies without challenge
— White is just the sort of Useful Idiot that Islamic debaters want to
face if they want to score an easy victory. Hijab’s blustering and
posturing was all designed to intimidate David and put him on the
defensive; intimidation is a beloved tactic of Islamic spokesmen.
Hijab’s liberal use of it was actually a implied admission that he had
no arguments. If he were to meet White in debate, he might be
friendlier, but he wouldn’t be any more receptive to White’s arguments
than he was to Wood’s.

Hijab also eats up minute after minute of his allotted time thumping
his chest, declaring victory, and proclaiming Wood’s ignorance, instead
of actually demonstrating it by responding substantively to his
arguments. This, too, is an extremely common Islamic debating tactic; I
ran into it most memorably in my debate with Mubin Shaikh,
a man for whom the phrase “a legend in his own mind” was coined. It
plays well to the audience, which, of course, doesn’t have the slightest
idea about the minutiae of this debate, that is, what Tertullian or
Origen may or may not have said or meant, but who were roused by Hijab’s
empty braggadocio to hearty takbirs.

As for the actual substance, Hijab didn’t have much. He repeatedly
challenged Wood to produce a pre-Nicene Church Father whose Christology
was the same as that of Nicaea. David ably explained why this request
was irrelevant, but in any case, here’s one. It took me about 30 seconds
to find:

“There is one God, the Father of the living Word, who is
His subsistent Wisdom and Power and Eternal Image: perfect Begetter of
the perfect Begotten, Father of the only-begotten Son. There is one
Lord, Only of the Only, God of God, Image and Likeness of Deity,
Efficient Word, Wisdom comprehensive of the constitution of all things,
and Power formative of the whole creation, true Son of true Father,
Invisible of Invisible, and Incorruptible of Incorruptible, and Immortal
of Immortal and Eternal of Eternal. And there is One Holy Spirit,
having His subsistence from God, and being made manifest by the Son, to
wit to men: Image of the Son, Perfect Image of the Perfect; Life, the
Cause of the living; Holy Fount; Sanctity, the Supplier, or Leader, of
Sanctification; in whom is manifested God the Father, who is above all
and in all, and God the Son, who is through all. There is a perfect
Trinity, in glory and eternity and sovereignty, neither divided nor
estranged. Wherefore there is nothing either created or in servitude in
the Trinity; nor anything superinduced, as if at some former period it
was non-existent, and at some later period it was introduced. And thus
neither was the Son ever wanting to the Father, nor the Spirit to the
Son; but without variation and without change, the same Trinity abideth
ever.” — Gregory Thaumaturgus, “A Declaration of Faith,” from 275AD

 HIGHER LEARNING OR INDOCTRINATION INTO LIBERAL FASCISM?
DARTMOUTH NIGHTMARE: DAVID HOROWITZ PREVENTED FROM GIVING SPEECH, MOCKED, LABELED “RACIST, SEXIST, IGNORANT BIGOT
HOROWITZ HAD TO FUND HIS TRIP & SPEECH, WHILE LINDA SARSOUR, MUSLIM SHARIA RADICAL, WAS PAID $10,000 HONORARIUM & ALL HER EXPENSES UNDERWRITTEN BY DARTMOUTH
BY DAVID HOROWITZ
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
 
President Philip Hanlon
Dartmouth College
Hanover, New Hampshire
Dear President Hanlon,
On October 23, I spoke at your college. I was invited by members of
College Republicans and Students Supporting Israel. They probably wanted
to hear what I had to say because I am one of the most prominent
conservative intellectuals in America, having published over twenty
books, three of which were New York Times best-sellers and one of which
was nominated for a National Book Award. The feminist Camille Paglia has
said of me: “I respect the astute and rigorously unsentimental David
Horowitz as one of America’s most original and courageous political
analysts…. As a scholar who regularly surveys archival material, I think
that, a century from now, cultural historians will find David
Horowitz’s spiritual and political odyssey paradigmatic for our time.”
Despite my credentials, and even though these conservative students
pay the same tuition – $75,000 per year – as your leftwing students, I
was forced to raise the money to underwrite my visit and lecture. This
was particularly galling to the Dartmouth conservatives who invited me,
because the previous spring Dartmouth’s “Office of Pluralism and
Leadership” sponsored a visit by notorious anti-Semite and terrorist
supporter Linda Sarsour – who has no academic credentials to speak of –
underwriting her expenses and paying her a reported $10,000 honorarium
for her talk.
My hosts were also probably interested in what I
had to say because over the preceding decades, Dartmouth has purged
conservative intellectuals from its faculty so effectively that the
students could only name two Dartmouth liberal arts professors who were
conservative. This reflects a collective faculty attitude that
intellectual diversity is dangerous and unwanted. This is a disgraceful
fact of academic life, which could easily be remedied, which prevents
Dartmouth students from getting a decent liberal arts education, where
all issues are controversial and intellectual diversity is the only
guarantee that students are being educated rather than indoctrinated, or
that there are reasonable checks on unchallenged leftist professors
going off the deep end. As it happens my visit elicited a professorial
outburst showing just how far leftwing bigotry and anti-academic
discourse can go on your campus. I will come to this in a moment.
Before my arrival, an anonymous leaflet was circulated, apparently by
the Dartmouth Socialists club. It was filled with lies about my work,
calling me a “racist, sexist and ignorant bigot.” These slanders were
drawn from the Southern Poverty Law Center, an institution so
discredited that it recently had to pay a devout and moderate British
Muslim $3.4 million after it libeled him as “a violent anti-Muslim
extremist.” None of the students behind this slander sheet was
apparently aware that I have a 50-year public record as a civil rights
activist, or that I have published three books in the last 20 years
dedicated to Martin Luther King’s vision of an America in which people
are judged by the content of their character and not the color of their
skin. And why should Dartmouth students be aware of my views since
Dartmouth’s leftwing faculty obviously has no respect for conservative
perspectives, which is why conservatives are as rare as unicorns on your
faculty.

Leading the pack of Dartmouth character assassins
who mobilized to combat my presence was Professor Annelise Oreleck, an
out-of-control Gender Studies professor who tweeted: “Long-time hater,
Islamophobe and anti-intellectual David Horowitz is speaking today in
Rocky 3 at 6pm. He is a hater of the first order. If you’re so inclined,
support students who are organizing a protest – Bring signs. Turn your
back. Stage a walkout.” What justification can there be to have such an
angry, close-minded individual teaching Dartmouth students?
Professor Oreleck’s protest instructions happened to be – and surely
this was no coincidence – exactly what the Dartmouth Socialists were
planning to obstruct my lecture –  namely to turn an academic talk into a
circus so that no one would pay serious attention to anything that was
said. They came in force to play loud porn videos, put on headphones to
block out my words, unfurl distracting banners with slogans like “Trans
Rights Are Human Rights” and “ICE is the Gestapo,” and to periodically
walk out of the room throwing jibes in my direction as further
distractions before they left. One transgender person, dressed as though
she was going to Mardi Gras, sat herself near the front and eyed me
intensely in the hope I guess that I would find her disturbing.
All the disrespectful antics of the protesters were in fact disturbing
– not least because they were displays of Ivy League students wasting
what could have been a valuable educational opportunity, and
demonstrations of their total lack of interest in what someone who
disagreed with them, and was far more educated, might be saying. When I
was a college radical, as I told them to no effect, I always wanted to
hear what our opponents were saying because I thought it would make me a
better radical. Apparently, today’s radicals are so dedicated to
self-righteous know-nothingism that they couldn’t care less what they
are fighting against. As for the transgenderism, like many other
conservatives, I am actually a very tolerant person. I happen to have a
transgendered grandson who graduated from an Ivy League school and would
never think of attending a college lecture only to mock it.
Wondering how students paying $75,000 a year for a Dartmouth
education could throw away such an opportunity, it occurred to me that
maybe they were not paying anything at all, but were so-called
“marginalized” and “under-served” affirmative action scholarship cases.
What a travesty that Dartmouth would encourage them to squander the
opportunity their scholarships provided by not insisting on behavior
appropriate to an academic community. When educators encourage closed
minds, what is left of the learning process?
As it happens
there were several Dartmouth administrators overseeing this event,
including Keysi Montás, the Director of Safety and Security who was in
charge. Unfortunately, they were not there to enforce an educational
decorum but to encourage the protesters by tolerating their antics and
refusing to eject them.
The whole travesty was sealed by the
school newspaper, The Dartmouth, which bills itself as “The Oldest
College Newspaper,” and which sent a reporter named Andrew Culver to
cover the event. Before I began speaking, I gave Culver a recorded
interview at his request. In it, I defended myself against the slanders
in the anonymous leaflet, and showed him exactly how and why they were
gross misrepresentations of the facts. For example, I was called a
“sexist” for pointing out the scientific fact that men score higher on
mathematical aptitude tests than women. What the slander sheet left out
was that I also said, women score higher than men on verbal aptitude
tests, and that I brought up these facts in defense of Harvard’s liberal
president, Larry Summers, who was under fire for stating them first. I
also described my public record as a civil rights activist, mentioned
the fact that I had three black grandchildren, and was probably the only
conservative in the country to defend Trayvon Martin during the trial
of his killer George Zimmerman.
The Dartmouth reporter Andrew
Culver failed to print a single word of my interview. Instead he opened
his article by repeating the lies in the leaflet – namely that I was a
racist, a sexist and a bigot. Culver’s mis-reporting of the event closed
off the possibility that anyone in the Dartmouth community at large
would be exposed to anything I had actually said. Only the slanders
would remain. This is the state of education at a once admired Ivy
League institution, where students can go four years without
encountering a conservative adult. Moreover, if one is invited to campus
to speak, he will be drowned out by students who shouldn’t be in
college in the first place.
You had no personal role in these
travesties, but you are president of the institution that made them
possible. I’m not going to ask you to have your “Office of Pluralism
(how Orwellian is that)” sponsor a return visit from me, since it might
well provoke a faculty riot. I just want you to think about these signs
of a damaged institution. and the warping of the educational experiences
of your students.
I would like an apology from you on behalf
of the Dartmouth community. I would also like to see some instruction
from you to your staff on the importance of promoting educational values
rather than encouraging close-minded political bigotry at your school.
Perhaps hiring a dozen or so conservative administrators might help.
Sincerely,
David Horowitz

WEST VIRGINIA VOTES TO ADD “NO RIGHT TO ABORTION” DECLARATION TO STATE CONSTITUTION

WEST VIRGINIA VOTES TO ADD “NO RIGHT TO ABORTION” DECLARATION TO STATE CONSTITUTION 
BY HEATHER CLARK
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
 

CHARLESTON, W.V. — Residents in West Virginia voted
on Tuesday to approve a proposal that would add an amendment to the
state Constitution declaring that there is no “right” to an abortion in
the document.


51 percent of voters approved Amendment 1, also known as the “No
Constitutional Right to Abortion” amendment, with 48 percent voting
against it.


The ballot question asked whether residents agreed that the State
should “amend the West Virginia Constitution to clarify that nothing in
the Constitution of West Virginia secures or protects a right to
abortion or requires the funding of abortion.”


Should the U.S. Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade by leaving the
matter up to the states, the amendment would solidify West Virginia’s
right to declare abortion illegal in the state.

“[We] are hopeful we’ll get a Supreme Court that actually reads the
Constitution and doesn’t make it up as they go along, and if they do,
someday that decision is going to be overturned,” Sen. Robert Karnes,
R-Upshur, told the Charleston Gazette-Mail.

“We wouldn’t want our state Supreme Court to suddenly find a right to
abortion,” he outlined. “So what this says is, if that were to happen,
if this resolution is adopted, then it would be within the purview of
the state legislature to determine what the laws in the state of West
Virginia are going to be regarding abortion.”

According to the “Vote Yes on 1” website, West Virginia already has a
law on the books declaring abortion to be illegal, and that law was
never repealed after the issuance of Roe v. Wade. Lawmakers considered
Roe as superseding state law since it was a federal decision.

As previously reported, the initial bill to put the constitutional amendment on the ballot
was presented by Sen. Patricia Rucker, R-Jefferson. She told reporters
that the move also would counter a 1993 West Virginia Supreme Court
ruling that struck down a law banning Medicaid funding of abortions.

“I believe that that’s something that people who have conscious
objection shouldn’t have to pay for,” Rucker remarked to CBS News.

However, a coalition identified as Advocates for Reproductive Rights,
Health and Justice launched an effort in opposition to Amendment 1,
stating that they were “beyond” outraged.

“This amendment sets us up for restrictive policy after restrictive
policy, year after year. Not to mention the fact that if Roe v Wade is
overturned federally, draconian language in our own state code would
totally criminalize all abortion,” a website for the effort states.
“This means anyone involved in an abortion would be subject to jail
time. Think of it—that means doctors; nurses; a woman attempting to
self-abort…”

As previously reported, in his 1854 lecture at
the University of Pennsylvania on criminal abortion, obstetrician Hugh
Hodge declared, “[H]uman life commences at the time of conception; … the
embryo and fetus therefore should be protected during its intra-uterine
life as sedulously as after birth.”

“Hence, that all efforts, direct or indirect, to disturb the progress
of gestation or to injure the product of conception are criminal, alike
violating the laws of nature and of God,” he stated.

Psalm 139:13-14 also declares, “For Thou hast possessed my reins;
Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise Thee, for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Thy works, and that my
soul knoweth right well.”

Ecclesiastes 11:5 proclaims, “As thou knowest not what is the way of
the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with
child, even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.”

GOOGLE ADMITS IN COURT DOCUMENTS THAT IT BELIEVES FREE SPEECH IS “DISASTROUS” FOR SOCIETY

 Google Admits in Court Documents that it Believes Free Speech is “disastrous” for Society
GOOGLE ADMITS IN COURT DOCUMENTS 
THAT IT BELIEVES FREE SPEECH 
IS “DISASTROUS” FOR SOCIETY
 It’s now reality: Google has monopoly power 
over the flow of information
BY Lance D. Johnson | NaturalNews.com
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
 

(Natural News) Every year, nearly half the world’s population uses Google. According to Internet Live Stats,
Google processes over 40,000 search queries every second. In that same
second, internet users view over 76,000 YouTube videos, a streaming
service designed by Google. Across the globe there are now over two
billion active android devices, a mobile operating system designed by
Google. Google uses these services to track users and collect
information about them.

It’s now reality: Google has monopoly power over the flow of
information. Google has control over the dissemination and manipulation
of information around the world. Google algorithms can either suppress
information or promote it. Because of this, Google Inc. is susceptible
to political and ideological censorship, affecting billions of users who
use Google services annually. With this power, Google interferes with
elections, business, and people’s livelihoods. There are industries and political agendas that
influence Google, industries that will do whatever it takes to shut
down truthful speech and manipulate how people think.
(Related: Former Google engineers warn the evil corporation must be stopped.)

Google refuses to be held accountable to First Amendment standards

Google is not a neutral platform, so search results are engineered to
highlight the viewpoints that matter most to Google executives and
their cult culture. Rich and influential people, emboldened by their
special interests, practically lobby Google to push their agendas while
suppressing any dissent or competition on the web. While some ideologies
are popularized by Google, others are pushed to the shadows,
de-monetized and mocked.

Google is under fire for censoring conservative website PragerU.
Very few organizations have the legal firepower to fight back against
Google, but PragerU has taken Google to court. Google’s true intentions
are being exposed. In a statement filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Google argues that government regulation would have “disastrous practical consequences.”

In their statement, Google makes it clear they do not want to be
held to the standard of the First Amendment.
 
Google refuses to change
for its users; Google refuses to guarantee users an equal platform for
freedom of speech. The anti-American behemoth refuses to enforce the
First Amendment across their services because this “would undermine
important content regulation.” Google stated, “If they are bound by the
same First Amendment rules that apply to the government, YouTube and
other service providers would lose much of their ability to protect
their users against offensive or objectionable content — including
pornography, hate speech, personal attacks, and terrorist propaganda.”
U.S. should appoint third-party judicial commission to review censorship cases

Google should still remain in control over its own content
regulation, but the United States should appoint a third party
commission to review Google’s actions when complaints of political,
business, and ideological censorship are brought forth. With so much
power over information and with mounting complaints of censorship coming
against Google, it is imperative that a judicial review committee hold
Google accountable when they are violating the free speech rights of
people on the internet.

According to their legal statement, Google still believes their
company can discriminate on the basis of political viewpoints, because
they “can’t be forced to change.” What Google does not understand is
that, with the proper legal oversight, their monopoly can be forced to
operate more fairly, without engaging in anti-competitive practices that
benefit their own agendas and the goals of their highly influential
friends. People and organizations that are censored by Google deserve
the right to bring forth their case and have their voice be heard.
Google can be forced to respect people’s First Amendment rights and can
be legally required to correct their algorithms when they are using
their technology to abuse content creators, advertisers, and search
engine users. The rule of law should be upheld.
