They Want National Internet Speech Regulations So That They Can Legally Censor You Into Oblivion by for End of the American Dream
Facebook, Twitter and other big tech companies actually want standardized Internet speech regulations. In fact, Facebook has been spending millions of dollars on ads that openly call for more government regulation of speech on the Internet. You can view an example of what I am talking about right here. At first glance, it may seem odd that Facebook wants more government regulation of the tech industry, but it actually makes perfect sense. If the federal government is the one making the rules, Facebook and the other big tech companies can legally censor you into oblivion without ever having to worry about any legal consequences. And then because all other social media platforms in existence will have to follow the exact same rules, there will be nowhere else for you to turn. There won’t be any “free speech alternatives” to Facebook and Twitter, because all of those “alternatives” will be forced to apply the same speech standards that Facebook and Twitter and applying.
Right now, Facebook and Twitter are losing millions of users to other platforms, and they want this to stop.
And so they are going to continue to push for national Internet speech regulations that apply equally to everyone.

In the end, Facebook basically envisions that everyone else in the industry will be forced to engage in the sort of extreme censorship that Facebook is already engaged in. The following are three quotes that come directly from Facebook…
-“Today, we work with more than 80 partners covering over 60 languages around the world to review potentially false content.”
-“We include warnings on posts that are rated false so that you can decide what to read or share.”
-“When third-party fact-checkers label content false, we significantly reduce its distribution so fewer people see it.”
That sounds so noble, doesn’t it?
But of course all of the “third-party fact-checkers” have an agenda, and all of them see the world the same way that Facebook sees the world.
If you are an independent thinker, it is just a matter of time before you are hit really hard by the censor hammer. The censorship has gotten stricter and stricter with each passing year, and the number of people that Facebook has working in this realm has “quadrupled”…
Facebook is not waiting for regulation. We’re continuing to make progress on key issues. We’ve quadrupled our security and safety teams to 40,000 people and built new privacy tools. We’re also working with tech peers to make it easier for people to move their data between platforms securely.
While we at Facebook are working to make progress, we know that we can’t – and shouldn’t – do it alone. That’s why we support regulations to set clear and fair rules for everyone, and support a safe and secure open internet where creativity and competition can thrive.
They claim that they are relentlessly working to weed out “hate speech”, but their definition of “hate speech” is essentially any opinion that they disagree with.
They also claim that they are fighting “health misinformation” head on, but their definition of “health misinformation” is essentially anything that contradicts the narratives that are being pushed by the big pharmaceutical companies.
Anything having to do with COVID, vaccines or COVID treatments has become such a sensitive area. The big tech companies have been extremely diligent to censor users when it comes to these topics, but that still isn’t good enough for some Democrats. A few months ago, two Democrats in the Senate introduced a bill called “the Health Misinformation Act”…
