Censorship were frozen by a court order Missouri attorney general Andrew Bailey wrote on Twitter that the fifth circuit held yesterday that cesa likely violated the first amendment when it coerced social media companies into censoring free speech he added this think about that for a second caesa was weaponized
Against the very citizens it was designed to protect now the case is part of something much larger and something that’s going to very likely only end with a future determination from the Supreme Court it ties to the Missouri V Biden case the Attorneys General of Missouri and of
Louisiana filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration arguing that the government’s contact with social media companies to request removal of content is a violation of the First Amendment of the US Constitution the issue at play is this now government censorship is of course unconstitutional the government can’t directly censor you
But private businesses like social networks or news organizations they have many rights to remove content and censor users themselves but what happens when the government requests a private company remove content or censor a user for that matter does it still count as a private company doing it or does the
Pressure from the government represent a type of State censorship by proxy well so far it seems the courts agree with the latter on July 4th a federal judge in Louisiana determined that the Biden Administration was violating standards on protected speech the court issued a temporary injunction that essentially
Brought a temporary end to government censorship by proxy of that type it banned several government agencies from communic with social media companies these included the FBI the justice department overall the Department of Homeland Security the exception to this was if federal agencies alerted the social networks of crimes or threats to
National Security or for example attempts to influence the elections the decision was taken by many as a kind of wakeup call before that ruling took place it had been widely alleged The Establishment media that they were saying there was no censorship like this taking place many had been told that
Censorship by private companies was not censorship and folks like myself who are exposing the government hand behind that censorship were largely being written off but that ruling coupled with the Twitter files which revealed how the FBI and other agencies were regularly communicating with social networks to censor Americans that ruling changed
Things of course the ban on government censorship of that sort did not last in its entirety the Biden Administration has been directly challenging it and an appeals court in the fifth circuit overturned part of it in early September it argued the ban on government agencies communicating with social media
Companies was too vague but the case is of course still ongoing and that being said the latest ruling is actually even more significant than the July 4th one it goes beyond just upholding the inj inunction it expands it and even more importantly it expands that injunction to include a federal agency that
Functions as the pseudo heartbeat of government censorship the agency that beats the drums for censorship for all the other agencies cesa now the updated injunction also includes the White House the Surgeon General the CDC and of course the FBI as well and again the battle over C ship
Again it’s not over yet it’s very likely to keep going to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court but for now the systems of government censorship are largely on hold the government at least to a very large extent cannot directly censor you either through its own actions or by proxy currently now
Attorney general Bailey wrote an X that if you don’t remember the fifth circuit already handed out a court order blocking the Biden Administration ation from silencing disfavored viewpoints he noted that cesa was originally not included in the fifth circuit’s order they filed a motion asking the fifth
Circuit to include cesa and that request was granted so what exactly is cesa attorney general Bailey describes it as the nerve center of the vast censorship Enterprise the very entity that worked with the FBI to silence the hunter Biden laptop store but is that the case well yes it is
Actually now in the true Spirit of the agency it looks like they’ve been scrubbing some of their own public records they’ve been removing videos on their operations and they’ve been redirecting web pages that used to document some of the agency’s most concerning practices but luckily we have
The archives and I’m going to show them to you cesa actually has a YouTube page page now a lot of it these days is more just videos from webinars and things like cyber security alerts and so on but it wasn’t always that way they used to have some content detailing some of the
Agency’s most controversial programs one of the videos from June of 2021 was called countering disinformation in social media now if you were to go to the link to that now on YouTube You’re met with this it’s a simple alert saying this video isn’t available anymore and I
Did a search online it looks like they scrubbed it from every discoverable part of the internet but luckily I played part of it on Crossroads last year let me show you that clip welcome to cyber security 101 classes in session today’s lesson countering disinformation on social media if you’re on social media you
Probably know that some information found down there is fake or dishonest how can you tell and who is behind it let’s take a closer look since 20120 there has been a lot of false and inaccurate information about Co 19 now remember that’s what they’re being accused of the agency was working
With social media companies on censorship and also a big part of the controversies that ceson the Biden Administration ran into really overall when it comes to censorship was was about targeting people who covered Co 19 it turned out they even labeled a handful of online commentators the quote disinformation dozen government agencies
Were communicating with social networks like Twitter and Facebook to silence them and many others here’s former White House Press Secretary Jen saki saying as much there’s about 12 people who are producing 65% of antivaccine misinformation on social media platforms all of them remain active on Facebook despite some even being banned on other
Platforms including Facebook ones that Facebook owns third uh it’s important to take faster action against harmful posts as you all know information travels quite quickly on social media platforms sometimes it’s not accurate and Facebook needs to move more quickly to remove harmful uh uh violative posts interesting how does the government know
That if they’re not monitoring people but back to cesa we’re often told that these government censorship programs are just about trying to stop foreign disinformation the problem we’re being told is that foreign governments are launching false information campaigns to swing elections to confuse the public and to generally spread Mayhem
Governments and disinformation right they say that disinformation can be false Flags false events it can be the use of false information and the footnotes of larger arguments it can even be the use of otherwise true information to draw false conclusions misinformation is the other big problem we’re told of it’s just
Outright false information now there’s of course controversy on governments trying to censor either of these since who are they to say what’s true and what’s not true but in reality it actually goes beyond even this what cesa focuses on is MDM MDM is misinformation disinformation and third
One that they don’t talk about is openly the third one is Mal information that’s malicious information information that is true it’s not false but is labeled as hateful or malicious well folks that’s it for YouTube for the rest of the episode come join us on Epic TV we’ll be talking
About the Biden impeachment inquiry the attempts to prosecute Trump yet again we’ll also be going into what’s happening with the speaker’s seat in the House of Representatives can Trump actually get it what the heck is going on we talk to all these stories and more on Epic TV EPO
Tv.com and I will see you there people from 160 countries illegally cross the US Mexico border and give themselves up to border patrol but what about the ones who evade border patrol these are known as the Goda ways you can safely assumed that anybody that went through the extra
Effort to avoid US Border Patrol was not Asylum Seeker by default it may not be today it may not be tomorrow but some we’re done word if somebody rapes and kills somebody and we find out that they came through here on my watch that’s unacceptable these men had surrounded my
House they were banging on my back door they were banging on my front door you can’t understand it in I sh out you’re seeing it everywh 21 dead bodies on the code respon is it wrong to ask people to come to your front door of your
Home then why would it be wrong to ask people to come to the front door of our nation their primary goal is to circumvent the checkpoints go undetected people that do not want to surrender those are going to do the potential terrorists the criminals the real threat
To the us we were hoping the federal government would step in and do something but they didn’t we have no clue who they are or where they going that’s the scary part here [Applause]
