Notice how forums with relatively little to no moderation lean right, while those that are heavily moderated lean left? In the free market of ideas, conservative thought prevails. Lots of control have to be implemented before leftist thoughts prevail. (The Donald Win)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

President Trump continues to fight back against social media bias against conservative viewpoints. Twitter’s “fact” checking the president’s tweet was not the only time social media attempted to “invalidate” Trump’s statement. They’ve been active, prior to this, with muzzling conservative voices on their platforms.<\/p>\n

The left is going to try to paint this as if President Trump attacked free speech. What? They’re actually guilty of what they’re accusing the President of doing? That’s “not” censorship, that’s curtailing “disturbing” posts and preventing “hate” comments.<\/p>\n

From The Wall Street Journal:<\/span><\/p>\n

“In a country that has long cherished the freedom of expression, we cannot allow a limited number of online platforms to handpick the speech that Americans may access and convey online<\/span><\/strong>,” the order says. “When large, powerful social media companies censor opinions with which they disagree, they exercise a dangerous power.<\/span><\/strong>”<\/p>\n

The order also lays groundwork for treating the platforms as places where individuals’ First Amendment rights should be protected, terming them “a 21st-century equivalent of the public square.”<\/p>\n

The order is far-reaching in scope, setting up multiple ways for the government to attack what the administration views as the problem of online censorship.<\/p>\n

The most important way is by seeking to scale back the sweeping legal protections that Washington established for online platforms in the 1990s, in the internet’s early days<\/span><\/strong>. Those protections were created by Congress in Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act. That law gives online companies broad immunity from liability for their users’ actions, as well as wide latitude to police content on their sites.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
