A group of Senate Democrats has launched a new effort demanding that Big Tech companies crack down on free speech by censoring the American people ahead of the critical November elections.
If Big Tech refuses to censor Americans, the Democrat senators claim that the companies “will suppress voter participation, sow doubt in U.S. election processes, and incite political violence.” READ MORE – Bill Gates Calls for ‘Vaccine Misinformation’ to Be Censored in Real-Time by AI
“Americans should keep this in mind when they make their voices heard at the ballot box in November, where — to Democrats’ dismay — they can’t be censored.” Recently, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta admitted his platforms were used to help censor Covid information and interfere in the 2020 election on behalf of the Democrats.
The Democrats sent a letter to “11 of the largest and most popular social media and encrypted chat companies in the U.S.” They are “calling for increased resources toward combatting 2024 U.S. election administration and certification disinformation.” The group of Democrats sent the letter to Google, Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), TikTok, X, Reddit, Snapchat, Amazon, Discord, Signal, Telegram, and Apple.
They also want major platforms to amplify what they deem to be “official election information.” The private companies are also being ordered to increase their “2024 election safety team.” These “safety teams” must be cracking down on speech in the ten most commonly spoken languages on the platforms, the senators demand.
In a statement, Heritage Action for America Executive Vice President Ryan Walker said: “Senate Democrats are once again colluding with Big Tech to shut down opposing viewpoints, spread disinformation, and conduct election interference, as we know they did during COVID and with Hunter Biden’s laptop.
They are demanding information on how the companies plan to “de-amplify and/or remove election disinformation (whether created using AI or not) and/or user accounts who spread this disinformation, when in violation of their policies,” according to the group’s press release.
