Experts said yesterday's anti-censorship court ruling was too badly written to be implemented, but it's already working. The State Department today canceled its regular Wednesday meeting with Facebook, and all future meetings, "pending further guidance.”

This is a huge victory, but Congress must go further.

1. It must defund and dismantle the censorship industry

2. It must demand Big Tech transparency

3. And it must fire @CISAJen, the Director of DHS' criminal and unconstitutional @CISAgov

@elonmusk “This often-true content” about vaccines, a Facebook exec. told the White House, "... can be framed as sensation[al], alarmist, or shocking.”

And so, "We'll remove these Groups, Pages, and Accounts when they are disproportionately promoting this sensationalized content."
@elonmusk People fought hard to require drug companies to list side effects in TV ads.

People in the Biden White House fought hard to require Facebook to censor ordinary Americans from sharing true stories about covid vaccine side effects.

Yesterday, a federal judge blocked the government from demanding censorship by social media companies. Now, U.S. Sen. @Eric_Schmitt, who initiated the lawsuit when he was A.G. of Missouri, is calling on Department of Homeland Security's top cyber official, @CISAJen, to resign.
Over the last few weeks, we have documented the global crackdown on freedom around the world. Members of the UK parliament want to read your text messages without a warrant. The Irish government wants to be able to enter homes and read phones and computers without a warrant. The… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The Department of Homeland Security's @CISAgov is a rogue agency.

Congress must de-fund and dismantle it immediately.

If it has worthwhile cyber responsibilities, they should be transferred to a government agency that respects the First Amendment.

Everyone should understand how dangerous the situation is

People tied to the national security state are trying to create a "back door" to read your private text messages.

This would set a precedent and put global surveillance & repression on steroids.

Please watch & share
This is what it used to mean to be liberal:

"I wanted to protect people from the kind of surveillance that big tech perpetrates every day.

"I want to protect the teens in Uganda where they just passed a law that makes being gay punishable by murder.

"I want to protect the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It's important that @RishiSunak @Keir_Starmer and everybody else in UK Parliament watch the above video.

There is no excuse now for this law to go forward now that @mer__edith has utterly demolished it.

MP @DamianCollins did not respond to her arguments.

He knows he's wrong.

UK politician @DamianCollins says he just wants to protect kids but he doesn’t. He wants to turn the Internet — worldwide — into a police state. No more private messages because criminals use them. What’s next, cameras in every home? Warrantless searches? Please stop this maniac.
Yes, it’s true: grotesque criminals can use private messages to hide their vile activities.

But they can also use the postal service. So read every letter?

Did UK politicians skip civics class? Are they unaware of how privacy protects us from being victimized by police?
We have this thing called privacy rights. Those laws, which are hundreds of years old, prevent the government from spying on us constantly, like the Stasi did in East Germany. Why does @DamianCollins want a digital police state? What’s the matter with him?

They thought they could censor us and get away with it. They thought we wouldn’t care if they read our private texts. And they thought we’d stand by as they redefined free speech as “hate speech.” No way. We are finding each other, and we are fighting back. LFG!!!
“Escape The Woke Matrix: A Psychopathological Religion Is Destroying Civilization”

Why do elites spread disinfo on race, Covid, climate, trans, & politics? Why are they demanding ever more censorship? How can we protect our freedom and ourselves?

Watch the full lecture below:
The US government’s @CISAgov is brazenly preparing to keep censoring us. They think they can avoid violating the First Amendment through “partnership engagement.”

Congress must de-fund CISA and fire its Director who thinks she’s a superhero fighting disinformation

Fauci said scientists had independently concluded a Covid lab leak was unlikely. Now, a new email makes clear that he was the one who orchestrated the “disinformation” campaign against it. “Tony [Fauci] doesn’t want his fingerprints on origin stories.”

theintercept.com/2023/06/29/cov…
“Don’t worry,” said Fauci advisor David Morens, "...I will delete anything I don’t want to see in the New York Times.”

Enough is enough. We need a bipartisan 9/11-style commission to get to the bottom of Covid origins.

Our leaders have been lying to us.
We now know with certainty that there was a cover-up of the Covid origins disinformation campaign.

Fauci advisor Morens appears to have behaved in direct violation of the Freedom of Information Act.

Our laws do not allow public officials to hide information from the public.

Democrats say they care more about "protecting democratic institutions" than Republicans, but they obviously don't, or they wouldn't be waging a systematic effort to delegitimize the Supreme Court.

usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Sen. Sheldon White has been on the warpath for months seeking to delegitimize the Supreme Court.

This is obviously a party-wide crusade.

One of the main justifications Democrats give for more censorship is that various forms of wrongspeak, whether on elections or covid, are "undermining institutions," and yet here the Democrats are actively undermining institutions.
