A lot of you may not know that you can sign up at the Federal Register's website and get emailed information about upcoming meetings, memos, conference calls, etc. Here is the website : federalregister.gov
You can sign up and subscribe to various departments- to keep tabs on.

Well, I got an email this morning from the Federal Register about a high level conference call that is going to take place on April 2nd, concerning Telecommunications and Cyber Security as it pertains to the DHS.

Well the reason they send out these notices are so you and I can review material and if we have input on that subject, we can submit a comment up to 4K characters long. Well you know me... Give me 4K characters and I get flaming fingers.

The cool thing about getting to have input on these actions is that your comment becomes part of the record, or in the case of my comment this morning, it was added to the official docket record for this Telecommunications Security tele-meeting. That's pretty cool. Here's it is:

In 2019, there is no bigger pressing issue concerning telecommunications than the censorship of social media. When BIG TECH companies like FaceBook, Twitter, Google & YouTube get to decide what is heard in the public square, that puts the core of the First Amendment under attack.

Under 47 USC 230, these media companies were afforded great protection from regulation in order to avoid stifling innovation and diversity on their platforms. They have taken those protections and used them as a shield to hide behind while....

.... they arbitrarily decide who's voice gets to be heard. It is unlawful under the First Amendment, and immediate action is expected on behalf of the citizens at large.

It is not only the one's being censored who are being damaged, it is also those who are uninformed because they only get one side of the story or perspective from one source. The person who is not actively involved, does not even know that there is another perspective, ....

.... because their social media feeds are edited to silence the opposing view. The sad part is that these citizens do not even know that they are being subjected to the manipulation.

I think we can agree that Google is the primary gatekeeper of information dissemination worldwide. Well what happens when Google alters its algorithms to return 'customized' searches that only show that one-sided perspective?

This is happening and it misleads people into a false paradigm of thinking that most people believe this way because that is the only perspective they are being shown.

Most people want to be mainstream on major political/social issues, & when the results they get back on their search, has moved the overton window of mainstream acceptability, their viewpoint is also moved. It is Tavistock Method Brainwashing done on a mass level.

47 USC 230 also mentions, what will serve as regulation to the BIG TECH companies, will be the competitive free market. Well as in many other industries, the free market is no longer free in the world of BIG TECH. When a startup company gets big enough to be actual competition,..

.... the big guys buy them out. We need strict anti-trust law enforcement against this practice. The competitive free market cannot force regulation if there is no competitive alternative for the free market to turn to.

It does not go unnoticed that the BIG TECH companies that seem to be the gatekeepers are also companies that were capitalized by In-Q-Tel.

So the question that most informed Americans should have is, why are the gatekeepers of my most cherished data backstopped by the Central Intelligence Agency. iqt.org/our-history/

So in short, it is time that we end 47 USC 230 & hold these tech giants accountable. It is time that we end their godlike assault on the voices that they disagree with.

It is time that we begin to regulate their protection of our data/information. It is time that we allow a competitive marketplace.

I recommend that you all make your voices heard in Washington. Sign up, and start sending them your message today to make a difference tomorrow. federalregister.gov
