Texas Bill Aimed at Big Tech Censorship Likely to Pass

After being halted by Democrat lawmakers’ boycott of the state legislature earlier this year, a bill aimed at reining in Big Tech censorship introduced by Republican lawmakers in Texas looks set to pass.

The bill declares that “social media platforms function as common carriers, are affected with a public interest, are central public forums for public debate, and have enjoyed governmental support in the United States,” and that “social media platforms with the largest number of users are common carriers by virtue of their market dominance.”

The law contains strong transparency mandates for social media companies, requiring them to disclose how and why they moderate content, and how and why they prioritize certain types of content, including their own, in user newsfeeds.

It also prohibits censorship on the basis of political viewpoint and allows citizens of Texas to sue tech companies that wrongfully terminate their accounts or censor them. The Texas attorney general will also be empowered to sue tech companies on behalf of groups of users.

The common carrier language introduces a tougher and older legal standard than Florida’s tech censorship law, which was shot down by a Bill Clinton-appointed federal judge shortly after it was passed. It is one of the approaches suggested by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in his opinion on tech censorship, which he gave earlier this year.

The law has caused alarm amongst Big Tech’s paid advocates. NetChoice, the industry trade group that represents Google, Facebook, Twitter, PayPal, Amazon, and other companies known for engaging in political censorship, has been furiously condemning the law, to no avail.

Texas House Democrats also oppose the bill, and have attempted to add amendments that would allow tech companies to censor “hate speech” and “vaccine disinformation,” but were defeated.

Adam Kovacevich, the former top Google employee who now heads the Big Tech advocacy group Chamber of Progress, said the law would lead to more “hate speech” online. Kovacevich was embroiled in scandal during his time at Google for describing the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) as a “sideshow circus” while telling Google employees that the tech giant planned to “steer” the conservative movement using strategic political donations.

The bill has passed the Texas Senate, and its companion bill is likely to pass the House. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has publicly supported the law and is likely to sign it once it reaches his desk.

Facebook-Owned WhatsApp Fined $266 Million by Irish Data Regulator

The Irish data protection commissioner has fined the Facebook-owned messaging app WhatsApp €225 million euro (approximately $266 million dollars) for “severe” breaches of privacy laws.

The Irish Times reports that Ireland’s data protection commissioner Helen Dixon has fined the Facebook-owned private messaging app WhatsApp €225 million euro (approximately $266 million dollars) for “severe” breaches of privacy laws. The fine came after European regulators encouraged Dixon to greatly increase the fine against the internet giant.

The WhatsApp fine is the largest issued by Dixon since 2018 when she was tasked with enforcing the European Union’s new privacy laws. Dixon commented on WhatsApp’s actions stating: “It is appropriate to classify the infringements . . . as being severe in gravity.”

WhatsApp was criticized by Dixon for a “very significant information deficit” among four violations of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which has resulted in sweeping changes to the handling of user data across Europe. According to Dixon, WhatsApp only provided 41 percent of the prescribed information to users of its service and none to non-users.

In a 266-page ruling, Dixon stated: “All four infringements are in my view very serious in nature,” adding: “They go to the heart of the general principle of transparency and the fundamental right of the individual to protection of his/her personal data which stems from the free will and autonomy of the individual to share his/her personal data in a voluntary situation such as this.”

Dixon stated that the impact on non-users of WhatsApp was “particularly severe” as they were denied the right to exercise control over their own personal data. Initially, Dixon proposed a 30 to 50 million euro fine ($35 million to $59 million USD) against WhatsApp but was told by the European Data Protection Board to increase the penalty.

Dixon’s office stated: “This decision contained a clear instruction that required the [Irish data protection commission] to reassess and increase its proposed fine on the basis of a number of factors contained in the EDPB’s decision and following this reassessment the DPC has imposed a fine of €225 million on WhatsApp.”

WhatsApp has disputed the fine, claiming that it is out of line with previous GDPR penalties. The company said in a statement: “We disagree with the decision today regarding the transparency we provided to people in 2018 and the penalties are entirely disproportionate. We will appeal this decision. WhatsApp is committed to providing a secure and private service. We have worked to ensure the information we provide is transparent and comprehensive and will continue to do so.”

It was recently reported that WhatsApp has faced a major security vulnerability that could lead to further data leakage. The company has since fixed the exploit but shows that the end-to-end encrypted messaging app may not be as secure as once thought. Read more about the vulnerability at 9to5Mac here.

Report: Facebook to Reduce Visibility of Political Posts

Facebook will adjust its algorithm to reduce the visibility of political posts, according to a report in Axios, a move that will hurt the top-performing political pages on the platform — most of which are conservative.

Via Axios:

Facebook plans to announce that it will de-emphasize political posts and current events content in the News Feed based on negative user feedback, Axios has learned. It also plans to expand tests to limit the amount of political content that people see in their News Feeds to more countries outside of the U.S.

Why it matters: The changes could reduce traffic to some news publishers, particularly companies that post a lot of political content.

Details: Moving forward, Facebook will expand some of its current News Feed tests that put less emphasis on certain engagement signals, like the probability that a user will share or comment on a post, in its ranking algorithm.

The success of conservatives on Facebook has long been a complaint of Democrats and the establishment media. During the 2020 election, the New York Times ran a piece lamenting the fact that conservative pages like Breitbart News, the Hodge Twins, Dan Bongino, and Dinesh D’Souza regularly outperformed liberal rivals on the platform.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg chose a hovering electric surfboard, the U.S. flag and a John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads” soundtrack to underline his everyday, all American boy self-regard on July 4. As you do.

Recent data from Facebook’s own analytics service showed that Breitbart News continues to demolish its establishment media competitors on Facebook.

Facebook’s move away from political content will hurt the most successful political publishers on the platform while boosting news publishers that can afford to create large quantities of non-political content — like the corporate establishment media.

It’s not the first time Facebook has conducted a move like this. During Trump’s first term, it made a major change to its algorithm that reduced emphasis on publishers and public figures while favoring posts from friends and family members. The result was a nearly 50 percent drop in engagement to President Trump’s page, and massive declines in Facebook traffic for conservative publishers.

Facebook already reduced the amount of political content for users earlier this year, a move that Axios acknowledged hit conservative publishers more than others.

Tech Tyrants elevate Biden to 'Dear Leader' status, with criticism forbidden

By Andrea Widburg

Shana Chappell, whose son U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui was murdered in Afghanistan thanks to the Biden administration’s fecklessness, took to social media to say exactly what she thought of Biden, including questioning the legitimacy of his presidency. It was classic free speech of the type the First Amendment protects...so Instagram (which Facebook owns) suspended her. It later reinstated her, assuring that it was all a mistake when we all know that the only mistake was that Facebook/Instagram got caught. The mere fact that Facebook/Instagram took this step -- and thought it could get away with it -- is a perfect example of the fact that the Tech Tyrants are functioning in the same way as North Korean censors, banning any speech critical of the “Dear Leader” and his policies.

Kareem Nikoui was a young man who wanted to serve his country and his family was proud of him for that. Had he died in battle at Bagram Air Force Base defending American interests, they would have wept for his loss but consoled themselves with the thought that he died for the greater good.

Thanks to the Biden administration’s criminally bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, though, Kareem Nikoui did not die serving his country. Instead, he was murdered because the Biden administration, having deliberately handed Kabul over to the Taliban, made the Taliban—America’s enemy—responsible for security around the Kabul airport:

In a hastily arranged in-person meeting, senior U.S. military leaders in Doha—including McKenzie, the commander of U.S. Central Command—spoke with Abdul Ghani Baradar. “We have a problem,” Baradar said, according to the U.S. official. “We have two options to deal with it: You [the United States military] take responsibility for securing Kabul or you have to allow us to do it.”

Throughout the day, Biden had remained resolute in his decision to withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan. The collapse of the Afghan government hadn’t changed his mind. McKenzie, aware of those orders, told Baradar that the U.S. mission was only to evacuate American citizens, Afghan allies and others at risk. The United States, he told Baradar, needed the airport to do that.

On the spot, an understanding was reached, according to two other U.S. officials: The United States could have the airport until Aug. 31. But the Taliban would control the city.

Shana Chappell cannot get over the fact that her beloved son died only because the Biden administration was so incompetent it couldn’t even get the basics of withdrawal right. And because Chappell knows that a fish rots from the head, she took to social media to blast Biden and the corrupt election he rode in on:

Although Chappell describes Biden in raw language and questions his legitimacy, nothing she says is illegal. Everything falls squarely within the parameters of the First Amendment, protecting speech about politics.

Nevertheless, Instagram, which Facebook owns, promptly conducted a review of all Chappell’s posts and then suspended her:

Instagram has since reinstated Chappell's account saying the suspension was in error, but thinking people assume it did so because of the outcry. If it could have gotten away with it, it would have. 

The Tech Tyrants invited Americans onto their platforms with the promise that they could freely express themselves as long as they avoided using the platform for illegal purposes. Americans enthusiastically embraced what they thought were free speech forums. The social media platforms’ popularity turned them into the public square, for they became the main forum of all speech in America. Having corralled all Americans into an artificially created public square, the same Tech Tyrants are systematically destroying America’s First Amendment rights.

Theoretically, we can back out to communication as it existed before the rise of the internet, sending mail through the United States post office and phoning people—except there’s reason not to trust the post office and people are discovering that they have no control over their cell phones, which have supplanted landlines. As for internet sites, such as blogs, websites survived before social media through blog rolls and word of mouth, and they can do that again (although the possibility that servers holding a website will dump it, as Amazon did to Parler, remains a risk).

What irks people is that they shouldn’t have to return to 20th-century communication. Instead, the government should revisit section 230, the piece of legislation that protects internet sites from liability. Currently, although these internet sites actively control the content on their site—acting as editors—they still claim protection under section 230, which was intended to apply only to sites that functioned as bulletin boards, without control over the content. Liability might rein in the Tech Tyrants’ abuses.

Until then, a grieving mother will find herself systematically silenced because she committed an act that is a crime in both North Korea and Silicon Valley—criticizing the Dear Leader.

Has there ever been a President as cold-hearted as Joe Biden?

By Patricia McCarthy

No. There never has. No previous president in US history has been as willing to sacrifice America, American lives, and American power and standing in the world solely for political purposes. Are his traitorous actions purely political? Perhaps his motives are personal as well.

Biden has been selling his soul for money for decades; to China, to Ukraine, to Pakistan. How else can he explain his massive wealth and multiple mansions on a salary of $174k? He cannot. See Peter Schweitzer’s book Profiles in Corruption. Chapter 3 is about Joe Biden:

“The Biden family partners are often foreign governments, where the deals occur in the dark corners of international finance like Kazakhstan, China, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Ukraine and Russia. Some have even involved taxpayer money.”

And later in chapter 3:

“The Biden family’s apparent self-enrichment depends on Joe Biden’s political influence and involves no less than five family members: Joe’s son Hunter, daughter Ashley, brothers James and Frank and sister Valerie.”

 

Read Schweitzer’s book. For the Bidens, as Ilhan Omar is fond of saying, it was always and only about the Benjamins.

In just seven months Biden has created seven disasters. Every sentient American surely knows by now about Biden’s plagiarism, his pathological lying about everything from his law school record to his fabricated exploits around the world. Everyone surely knows by now of Hunter Biden’s depravity, all of which China has proof of (as did the FBI in December of 2019).

Just as the truth about the covid vaccines is strictly suppressed, so was the depth and breadth of the Biden family’s corruption. The media, print and electronic, deranged by their irrational hatred of Donald Trump, covered up the truth about the Biden family’s unscrupulousness.

We have the media and their big tech partners in crime to blame for the calamitous failures of this illegitimately installed president. We will suffer the reverberations of his open borders, energy regression, inflation, and the horrors unfolding in Afghanistan for decades to come.

Does Biden care how his diktats and policies have hurt millions of Americans? Not one bit; he revels in the damage he is doing. He finally has the power he has lusted after for decades, but his sabotage will embolden jihadists around the world for the foreseeable future. Biden has single-handedly ushered into power and armed a vast terrorist state.

How could a man view the carnage he is responsible for in Kabul and publicly blame President Trump? How on earth could he compare the loss of his own son from brain cancer to the loss of those thirteen young people he condemned to death?

Now Biden is warning of another terrorist attack on our troops who are sitting ducks at that regional airport in Kabul because of him! This level of callousness cannot be explained by his cognitive decline. Those of us who have lived with aging parents with dementia know that their core qualities become startlingly more pronounced. Joe Biden has always been a racist and a bully. He has always been in the business of politics strictly for the money. He owes China, Pakistan, Ukraine, and who knows what other corrupt nations for his unearned wealth and, as president, he is now paying them back. He just handed Afghanistan to China and Pakistan. For money, he is betraying our country and troops. For money, he has kickstarted WW3.

Lara Logan said on Jeanine Pirro’s program Saturday night:

“These people [the Biden administration] have a special place in history. They will go down as the most evil people that have ever led this country and have ever led American people to their deaths because when you betray one ally you betray all of your allies and if you empower one of your enemies you empower them all. There is not an American alive today who isn’t less safe because of what this administration has done.”

She is exactly right. None of this would be happening if Trump were still President. The southern border would still be closed. We would still be energy independent, Afghanistan would be more stable than at any time in the last twenty years with a scheduled, conditioned withdrawal that would have evacuated the Americans and our troops safely.

Those thirteen young people would still be alive. Their blood is on the hands of all of those Trump-deranged people who did everything in their power, legal and illegal, to defeat Trump. Their blood is on the hands of every Biden voter. They should have known better. They should never have fallen for the left’s propaganda so cleverly devised to induce mass psychosis. Biden and his entire cabinet must resign or be impeached for they have perpetrated the most egregious crime against this country in US history.
