Document dump shows that Big Tech is most definitely censoring Americans at the behest of Big Government

The Montana Gazette has more:

“Around the United States in more than a dozen states, legislative efforts have been underway to stop the censorship of conservatives by companies known colloquially as Big Tech,” the outlet’s report continues.

“These companies, which act as communication utilities with monopolistic control over social media, have been censoring conservatives and Christians at breakneck speed – as almost everyone is aware. The argument set forth by freedom advocates is two-fold,” it adds.

“As the world learned following their crackdown on conservatives in 2020, bans on various figures are well-coordinated and happen oftentimes simultaneously,” the outlet added.

That’s true; Natural News founder and editor Mike Adams, along with conservative media mogul Alex Jones and even President Donald Trump were all booted off the major social media platforms at nearly the same time.

“However, it has been difficult for conservatives to hold Mark Zuckerberg and his Big Tech acolytes accountable for their viewpoint discrimination. In congressional testimony, Zuckerberg repeatedly denied acting prejudicially against conservatives,” said the Gazette.

But lawmakers in Montana and elsewhere are taking a different approach; if they could prove, for instance, that the social media behemoths were censoring Americans on behalf of Uncle Sam, that would be actionable in courts of law.

And they appear to have found their proof, thanks to Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai.

Specifically, the document reveals an agreement between Twitter and the federal government to censor speech that is critical of elected officials. Via an entity known as the Twitter Trusted Partnership and Twitter Partner Support (PSP) Portal, federal and state governments can request a “censorship order” whereby Twitter responds to downgrade critical content in exchange for being left alone by government.

“When Americans complained about Big Tech censorship, Big Tech companies simply shrugged it off as their right as private companies to censor whomever they want; they did not explain that Big Tech is censoring Americans on behalf of the government,” the Gazette reported, adding that changes the legal paradigm in a big way.

By outsourcing blatant First Amendment violations to social media, “Twitter can hind behind the veil of Section 230” of the Communications Decency Act “and the government can claim that it isn’t censoring anyone,” the outlet adds.

If Ayyadurai’s legal actions don’t produce results, then literally the only alternative is to simply abandon the platforms.
