WOW! Feds paid companies to silence Trump, et al, on social media near 2020 election

Former President Donald J. Trump

Holy crap, Batman, what in G-d's name is going on?

Two reports published on  Friday and Saturday by Just the News, reveal the US federal government was responsible for the censorship of 20 news outlets during the 2020 election. Shades of China!

Our own government has been working with four private companies to flag make-believe election "misinformation" in order to censor it on social media platforms.

After Biden woke up and found himself in the White House, Just the News reported, the group of four was “rewarded” with millions of taxpayer dollars, and its misinformation by elimination continues today.

The bulk of the targeted groups were right of center, of course, and the outlets include Just the News, the New York Post, The Washington Times, The Washington Examiner, and the Epoch Times.

The group ironically calls itself the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP). It's typical leftist labeling to make it sound palatable when in reality it is the opposite of what it calls itself, you know, like Planned Parenthood. The only plan they have is to eliminate all traces of parenthood at the expense of an unborn child.

Current President Joseph Robinette Biden finger-sucking

Anyway, these scumwafers put a list together of "repeat spreaders" of election misinformation of 2020. [The definition of "misinformation" in this case is anything that runs counter to your ideology.] The list included President Trump, his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump as well as other high-profile right-leaning people on social media.

The four members of the EIP group are the Stanford Internet Observatory, the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab and Graphika, which deals in social media analytics.

In the EIP report of June 15, 2021, the group describes itself as an "information exchange" between entities such as "election officials, government agencies, civil society organizations, social media platforms, the media, and the research community." So they see themselves as the voice of truth and the final word in the political arena. Anyone disagreeing with them is spreading "misinformation" and even "disinformation." Shades of Pravda.

Specifically, the EIP identified what it saw as misinformation related to the 2020 election and processed “tickets” — created by the EIP and its partners — to flag that misinformation for the group’s social media and government partners.

These tickets were later used to asked Big Tech platforms to censor media outlets and “repeat spreaders,” including Trump and his family.

These butt-munchers could be coming after you next.

Finally, Just the News reported that 35 percent of content flagged by the EIP was removed, throttled or otherwise censored on social media. This should be of great concern to everyone who respects freedom of speech.

Having recently discovered Just the News, I truly recommend you check it out, just as long as you don't replace me with it. ;)
