FCC’s Brendan Carr: big tech must dismantle ‘censorship cartel’ including ‘Orwellian’ newsGuard

By Sean Moran | Breitbart Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Brendan Carr on Friday called on big tech platforms to dismantle the “censorship cartel,” charging that American democracy depends on it. Carr states that the tech Masters of the Universe, in conjunction with “the orwellian-named NewsGuard,” fact checking groups, and ad agencies, have enforced “one-sided narratives.” “Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft & others have played central roles in the censorship cartel. The Orwellian named NewsGuard along with “fact checking” groups & ad agencies helped enforce one-sided narratives. The censorship cartel must be dismantled,” Carr wrote on X/Twitter.

Murray: ‘Fact check’ has become just another word for censorship

By Douglas Murray | Commentary, New York Post “Fact-checking” is like “fake news”: something that is now entirely in the eye of the beholder. At the vice presidential debate this week, the CBS moderators once again tried to show that they were the fair and impartial people in the room Except that — as with the Trump-Harris debate — they only seemed interested in fact-checking in one direction.

By Breccan F. Thies | The Federalist The Republican vice presidential hopeful slammed his Democrat opponents for trying to rig the election by cracking down on Americans’ free speech. Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, called out Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., for wanting to implement a mass censorship regime, blocking Americans from practicing their First Amendment rights. “I believe we actually do have a threat to democracy in this country. Unfortunately, it’s not the threat to democracy that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz want to talk about. It is the threat of censorship,” Vance said at Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate. “It’s Kamala Harris saying that rather than debating and persuading fellow Americans, she would like to censor people who engage in misinfo...

RFK Jr. gets green light to challenge Biden on censorship after supreme court declines to rule

By KAELAN DEESE | Washington Examiner A Louisiana district court ruled this week that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his charity Children’s Health Defense have the legal right to sue the Biden administration for allegedly pressuring tech giants to censor their social media posts. The decision marks the latest major development in anti-censorship litigation, following the June Supreme Court ruling in Murthy v. Missouri, where a 6-3 majority struck down a similar injunction against the Biden administration, saying that the plaintiffs lacked standing due to insufficient evidence of direct injury caused by the government’s actions. “The Court finds that Kennedy is likely to succeed on his claim that suppression of contentposted was caused by actions of Governm...
