Senate Repubs Take Big Tech CEO's to the Woodshed

The Senate finally held their Big Tech hearing where several republicans took CEO's Jack Dorsey (Twitter), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) to the woodshed over their blatant censorship of conservatives, which are also acts of election interference. The most fiery encounter occurred between Dorsey and Sen Cruz... Twitter's attorneys told Dorsey to use that "hacked materials" excuse.. it's thin and total bs because they have allowed stories against Trump which are total bs to go viral. Sen Johnson more or less got Dorsey and Zuckerberg to admit they censored content with no proof of it being false or Russia disinformation Both were asked again by Sen Wicker admitting they had no information Russia was a source yet they acted like it was by censoring the story, suspending users accounts... Sen Blackburn schooled Dorsey for claiming they never censored Pres Trump and give free reign to Irans dictator.. Sen Lee had his moment calling the FASCISTS out to name any high profile liberal they've censored where none could name any off the top of their head.. It's absolutely clear these companies are engaged in activity to influence voters away from supporting Pres Trump and the GOP. They're engaged in election interference as well as violating campaign finance law via donations in kind through the suppression of stories and suspension of accounts. They need to have their Section 230 protections pulled, since regulation will open pandoras box to go after everyone who "publishes" online. That being said these CEO's are not to blame! You can blame the wealthy Right for never investing/ donating a cent to any competing platform. They REFUSES to help those on front lines only offering pats on back and well wishes while the Left donates and invests in everything = putting their money where their mouth is. The wealthy Right allow these companies to hold a monopoly by not opening up their checkbooks while at the same time bitching about the power grab over free speech. The Senate GOP can only do so much since dems control the House. You can change that and this hold Big Tech has by electing republicans and Pres Trump next week, otherwise dems will be deciding what you can and cant see, read and hear online.

About That Google Exec in the Leaked Video Saying "WE" Lost (Video)

By now most people are aware of the Google video that was leaked showing executives expressing how upset they were over Trump's victory in 2016. Of all the whining and partisanship within the video the one segment that should stand out the most but IMO is overlooked is when CFO Ruth Porat spoke with tears in her eyes.

When Porat says "we" she's not just talking about democrat/ Hillary's voters. Based on what we know now, revealed on Tucker Carlson Tonight, the "we" Porat is speaking about is Google! They didn't interfere enough to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

This is dangerous for a company so big to be colluding with a political party to win an election. Now that said, look at what's going now from the censorship of Alex Jones (like him or not), Prager University and countless other right leaning/ conservative outlets by the tech giant. They learned from their mistakes in '16, and are making up for it now by silencing dissent through shadow banning, censorship of content, unexplained suspensions (yours truly has been a victim of), manipulation of search results, to outright bans.

There's clearly a concerted effort by this tech giant, as well as Facebook and Twitter, to control the flow of information this election cycle to get the end result they wanted, a democrat victory, in 2016.

You can't be making political donations, taking advantage of govt subsidies and also picking sides in an election, that is why many are calling for Big Tech to be reined in! These companies have had countless warnings via high profile individuals speaking publicly over how they're being targeted and censored. Big tech is choosing to ignore the warnings, to stay the course that will lead to govt regulation. What they're doing now is far more influential on American politics and social issues than tv and radio ever were, which landed both industries under federal regs. Conservatives are in favor of small govt, Big Brother keeping out of our lives, all these companies have to do is stop and be fair. They don't want to, by this video and what's happened since then they want to control what we see and hear. Fine, be prepared for Big Brother to step in, you had your chance.

REGULATE BIG TECH

Trump Warns Facebook, Google and Twitter Censoring Conservatives Might Be Illegal! (Video)

The Left is obviously denying anyone on the Right is under any kind of attack or censorship from Big Tech (Facebook, Google and Twitter) but those of us who have been feeling and seeing it know better. STR has been under heavy assault from Facebook for years, and IMO it like many small conserv pages were the testing grounds over the years for what is now happening on a massive scale.

FB has repeatedly suspended yours truly for no reason whatsoever. (Feel free to go through my timeline and you'll see posts over the last few years citing the censorship with screenshot examples) Posts to groups have been cited as spam only to have FB concede they are not after challenges were issued. Yet even after FB admitted I did no wrong they left me on suspension!

Twitter is not issuing STR suspensions, but is heavily shadow banning @BMartin1776. I have posted over 96K tweets, and there have been some doozies from time to time that should've gone viral but were DOA. How do I know this? Because similar tweets from others did go viral! You would think someone who posts 96K tweets, providing content not just blather or trolling, would have a large following, nope. The account was opened in 2009 and to this day has only 2600+ followers, AFTER getting a boost from a celebrity and a friend, that's it. They too are shadow banned because between the two of them there;s just shy of a million followers, where a fraction answered their call to help me out.

As for Google, try finding a Op posted by STR in a search. You won't find STR posts 10-20 pages back either! On Google+ STR posts about Mark Levin were being removed, with no warning or reason!

So the censoring does exist, when the left denies it they're lying. Enter Pres Trump...

Trump is seeing it himself, the White House is getting complains, he's hearing it from Reps Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Mark Meadows and other GOP members of Congress. He's seen the abuse against conservative speakers/ activists like Candice Owens and the daily threats against Dana Loesch and the NRA.

There's plenty of proof he and the admin have seen, so much so Trump told reporters today that what Big Tech is doing "may not be legal"!

Big Tech is out of control. They KNOW what they're doing, and have taken it too far. STR is all for small govt. The last thing we need is more govt regs, but when you are engaged in a business platform taking money from candidates or rejecting it, while entertaining an opposing candidate whose politics lean your way, while you're manipulating information when it comes to the outcome of an election you got problems!

Television and radio companies are all privately owned companies like Big Tech, BUT they are now under federal oversight because they became far too influential in American politics and social issues. What's happening with Big Tech is the same difference. The medium has changed but the acts of suppression and favoritism exists.

If Big Tech companies want to avoid coming under the govts thumb all they have to do is stop the censorship, make it fair like POTUS said, "You know what we want? Not regulation, we just want fairness." Stop telling users what they can and cannot see, giving them the tools/ filters to determine what they want to see. If, not get ready for Big Brother to take over.

WATCH Diamond & Silk Throw Down With Detestable Rep Sheila Jackson Lee During Facebook Censorship Hearing

Sheila Jackson Lee is by far one of the most vile, disgusting people serving in the US Congress. She clearly tried to bully and intimidate black conservatives Diamond & Silk in a failed attempt to publicly defame them as liars. Unfortunately for Lee, the pair weren't having any of her progressive nonsense, giving her a dose of her own medicine as they set the record straight.

Leave it to a radical closet communist to side with Facebook who is ACTIVELY and FACTUALLY silencing conservatives on their platform because we offer an opposing opinion. This is what the radical, unhinged, violent, dangerous Left does. They bully and intimidate people, when that doesn't work they silence you - as FB is doing.

Props to Diamond & Silk for not backing down. And take note how disrespectful Lee was as she continued after her time expired... no love lost between she and Rep Gohmert

** This wasn't the only heated exchange the two had with the progressives aka communists members of the Judiciary Committee either... more to come.
