Amid a staggering wave of gun violence in New York City, with shootings this year measuring 42 percent higher than the same period in 2020, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that he plans to deploy the NYPD to track down and question people who have expressed “hate,” albeit without committing any crime or violation.
Mike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow, is a man with a huge transformative plan for America. He joined David Harris Jr. for a special Saturday morning program to remind people to “keep the faith; it will happen”, referring to his promise to keep fighting for election Integrity in the 2020 Presidential Election and for President Donald J. Trump.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the study, which gauged Canadians’ reactions to combating misinformation and hate speech, revealed that over half of respondents opposed government regulation.
Free expression and healthy discourse will be lost if government advances a proposal to establish a regulator to monitor hate and harassment.
Recently, we’ve witnessed unprecedented efforts on the part of Big Tech monopolies to coordinate the censorship of conservative political views. Just recently, Amazon Web Services, Google, and Apple conspired to boot the conservative-friendly social media app Parler off the web. And every day, more stories emerge of conservatives and Christians who find their social media accounts suspended, banned or otherwise censored for voicing their views.
You should judge a car’s direction by where its wheels are pointed, not by its turn signals. Bill C-10, currently before Parliament, claims to be about broadcasting. It is not. It is about speech control over the internet.
If you get an electronic version of this thing we call a newspaper, you will have noticed that many articles and columnists now appear by means of embedded video. According to the federal government, video and audio over the internet are “broadcasting,” and if you broadcast you need a licence from the CRTC — either that or be “exempted” (a term of art) from the need to be licensed by the same agency. Do newspapers understand they are broadcasters?
British broadcast journalist Piers Morgan refused to cave to the mob attacking him for questioning and criticizing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah, saying, “Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on.”
“On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. If you did, OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions,” he wrote on Twitter.
Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy, has been working on a new social-media platform for four years to compete with Twitter and Facebook. He said in an interview on Friday on Charlie Kirk’s podcast, “people will be able to talk and not walk on eggshells.”
When it comes to COVID-19 and government-imposed lockdowns, many Canadians have been dismissed because they’re not a “medical expert.”
The fact of the matter is the pandemic affects everybody’s way of life and everybody deserves to have a say about how government decisions are affecting their lives.
Many people have been asking for a basic, anti-big tech guide. So we’re putting this together as a starting point for information on what services you should use, and what you really shouldn’t. We will be constantly updating this page, so make sure to favorite/bookmark it and check back often.
“I am joining [state Sen. Bryan Hughes] to announce a bill prohibiting social media companies from censoring viewpoints,” Abbott revealed on Twitter.
“Too many social media sites silence conservative speech and ideas and trample free speech,” he asserted.
“It’s un-American, Un-Texan, & soon to be illegal.”
The bill will include the creation of a new regulator who will be responsible for enforcing the new statutory definition of hate.
English essayist Samuel Johnson wrote that “when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.” I thought of Johnson’s words in preparing to appear before a House committee exploring limitations on free speech, including a campaign by some Democratic members and activists to remove networks like Fox News from cable carriers. As someone who just came over to Fox News as a legal analyst from CBS and the BBC, the hearing concentrated my mind “wonderfully” on the future of free speech and the free press.
Three banks have refused to do business with Gab, a Twitter competitor outspoken about free speech, in recent weeks, the company’s chief executive revealed. Andrew Torba blamed the development on mainstream media hit pieces.
The third bank to sever its relationship with the company in three weeks told Torba on Monday that they were doing so because of “all the bad things the press has written about Gab,” he said in an interview published by the conservative outlet National File.
Parler is clunky I prefer Gab. You can ignore what you don’t want to see on any social media platform assuming it’s not censored to begin with a la Twitter and FB.
A decade ago, as part of his stand-up act, a Canadian comedian began telling a joke about a disabled young singer. This is how that joke ended up in front of the country’s top court.
Jeremy Gabriel was born with Treacher Collins Syndrome, a genetic disorder that can affect facial bone structure and, in his case, caused severe deafness.
Despite this, he fulfilled his dream of becoming a singer, performing for public figures from songstress Celine Dion to Pope Benedict XVI – all before he reached his teens – and achieving minor celebrity status in his home province of Quebec.
