Big Tech’s censorship efforts just hit a yuuuge roadblock. In a statement on Truth Social, incoming (and former) President Donald J. Trump announced that he will nominate competition hardliner Gail Slater to lead the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division. Trump argued the appointment was necessary not just to preserve the free market, but also to protect Americans’ liberties.  Trump wrote: “Big Tech has run wild for years, stifling competition in our most innovative sector and, as we all know, using its market power to crack down on the rights of so many Americans, as well as those of Little Tech! I was proud to fight these abuses in my First Term, and our Department of Justice’s antitrust team will continue that work under Gail’s leadership.”  Monopolization and collusion in tech markets often pose direct harms to Americans’ First Amendment liberties. In 2021, just three tech firms — Amazon, Apple and Google — were able to cut off the entirety of America’s access to free speech-oriented social media platform Parler. In 2022, Google denied access to Truth Social for over 40 percent of American cell phone users.  During Trump’s first administration, the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division sued Google for illegally monopolizing the search engine market. The case was decided this year: the Court sided with the Antitrust Division and ruled that Google did, indeed, violate antitrust law in monopolizing the market for search engines. Originally an antitrust attorney in Ireland, Slater’s first job after moving to the United States was for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). She later worked at Fox News, at Roku and as an advisor to Trump in his first administration. She is currently a policy advisor to Vice President-elect JD Vance. Throughout her career, Slater has been a persistent and aggressive critic of Big Tech firms’ anti-competitive conduct and disproportionate market power. Slater’s nomination could mark a sharp change in direction for the Antitrust Division. Under President Joe Biden, the Division largely refrained from challenging Big Tech’s market power (though it did continue the Google suit the Trump administration had started).  Biden’s Antitrust Division declined to bring enforcement actions against either Amazon or Meta, even though the independent FTC outlined damning evidence of antitrust violations in its own suits against those firms. In 2022, it was revealed that the Biden administration had secretly coordinated with both Amazon and Meta to censor speech critical of its policies related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump’s announcement was met with swift praise from critics of Big Tech power. Antitrust scholar and populist activist Matt Stoller wrote: “This is a very powerful statement that Trump wants to take on big tech.” Legal scholar and Article III Project President Mike Davis stated, “President Trump is making crystal clear he's continuing what he started: The bipartisan antitrust law-enforcement effort to hold accountable the trillion-dollar Big Tech monopolists--particularly Google--that crush competition, shutter small businesses, and censor conservatives and others with whom they disagree. President Trump made the perfect choice with Gail Slater.” Conservatives are under attack.

Before and after Election Day 2024, Big Tech platforms voted for election interference. Google was the most egregious election censor, as MRC Free Speech America found the tech giant repeatedly burying right-leaning sources in search results. Google-owned YouTube targeted interviews of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump and his ally X owner Elon Musk. Not to be outdone, communist Chinese government-tied TikTok censored videos critiquing Democrats, and Meta’s Instagram banned a TPUSA-affiliated account just before the election. Below are the worst examples of censorship recorded by MRC surrounding Election Day 2024, the months of October and November, in our exclusive CensorTrack database. 1) Google consistently buried right-leaning media outlets in search results before, during and after Election Day. Throughout October, each time MRC researchers entered the search terms “donald trump presidential race 2024” and “kamala harris presidential race 2024” utilizing the Google Search engine, Google rigged the results, requiring users to wade through a torrent of leftist media articles before reaching a piece published by a right-leaning media outlet. Even on Election Day, MRC exposed the same biased search manipulation. And even following the election, Google continued its biased search manipulation when the same two prompts were used. In the week following Election Day, Google also suppressedright-leaning media results in searches for President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks. 2) YouTube suppressed anticipated interviews of Trump and Musk. Podcast host Joe Rogan interviewed Trump on his popular podcast, but Google’s YouTube platform search suppressed the interview about a week before the election. The interview was one of the most anticipated episodes of Spotify’s most popular U.S. podcast (The Joe Rogan Experience). MRC researchers tested YouTube’s search function after the platform supposedly fixed the problem, but the Rogan interview with Trump was still being suppressed. Users began reporting that searches such as “Joe Rogan Trump” did not show the interview at the top soon after the podcast was posted. YouTube instead provided clips and commentaries about the interview from other sources, as well as media reports about the interview from leftist news outlets such as MSNBC. Rogan also interviewed Musk, who has since been chosen by Trump to head the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.). The day after the election, MRC discovered that YouTube had placed an age restriction on the first interview Rogan conducted of Musk, long before Musk had ever teamed up with the Trump campaign. Age restrictions can severely suppress viewership. CEO of Good Kid Productions Rob Montz previously explained in 2022, “In practice, age restriction is a death knell: The video can’t be embedded on external websites; viewers have to sign in before they can watch it; and it receives scant – if any – boost from YouTube’s recommendation algorithm, which is a crucial source of views.” 3) TikTok censored a video of a Holocaust survivor condemning Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris. X user @ashsingh1221 replied to a Trump War Room post that included a video of a 94-year-old Holocaust survivor saying Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris should apologize for comparing Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. Ash replied, “Pretty sure they're about to BAN me on TIKTOK very soon. I guess they don't like hearing the TRUTH. This is exactly why I recently signed up for @X.” Ash included a screenshot showing that TikTok had disabled the sound on the same Holocaust survivor video when it was shared on the communist Chinese government-tied platform. The TikTok message shown in the screenshot claimed, “This sound violates our Community Guidelines.” TikTok did not specify further, but it did deny Ash’s appeal, according to a subsequently shared screenshot. 4) TikTok removed a journalist critique of a controversial statement from President Joe Biden against Trump supporters. Bongino Report journalist Evita Duffy-Alfonso shared a screenshot of her TikTok censorship notice  about a video she shared on the platform of her reaction to Biden labeling Trump supporters as “garbage.” Duffy-Alfonso’s caption was, “The American people aren't 'garbage,' but our ruling class is.” TikTok imposed a censorship notice that announced, “Removed for violating Community Guidelines.” TikTok did not specify further on precisely what in the video violated its rules. 5) Meta’s Instagram banned right-leaning account just before Election Day. An X user shared screenshots showing that Instagram suspended the brand-new Turning Point USA Walsh University account on Nov. 2 without any explanation. “We suspended your account, Turning Point USA Walsh University[.] 180 days left to appeal or we’ll permanently disable your account,” Instagram’s notice read. Under “Why this happened,” Instagram merely asserted, “Your account, or activity on it, doesn’t follow our Community Guidelines on account integrity.” The platform subsequently denied an appeal, and according to the screenshot, the account was “permanently disabled.” Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us using CensorTrack’s contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

One can never expect MSNBC's Joy Reid to be the level-headed voice of reason, but even by her standards, her Wednesday edition of The ReidOut was off the charts crazy. According to Reid, Tennessee’s law, currently being challenged at the Supreme Court, that forbids so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors is part of a Nazi-like tradition of targeting transgender people. Reid kicked off the relevant segment by lamenting, “America's dealing with many issues, from grocery prices to gun violence, which is the number one cause of death for kids and teens, but the one issue that Republicans successfully exploited in this year's elections was their fear of the transgender community. Republicans spent at least, get this, $215 million on anti-trans TV ads with the most prominent coming from the Trump campaign itself.”     After a brief clip from the famous “Kamala is for they/them” ad, Reid added, “Trump's argument was that Vice President Kamala Harris is fighting for they/them while he's fighting for you. Erin Reed, an independent journalist covering LGBTQ issues, tracked Trump campaign spending and found that they spent, okay, more money on anti-trans ads than they did on housing, immigration, and economy ads combined.” Reid then reached for a puzzling analogy, “For context, in the 50 states, transgender adult Americans make up .5, not 5, .5 percent of the population, or 1.3 million Americans out of, like, 320 million. There are a little over 300,000 transgender youths in America. That's 1.4 percent of all young people between ages 13 and 17. That would be the numerical equivalent of the Republican Party targeting the entire city of Phoenix, Arizona, population 1.65 million, because they don't like the desert landscape.” It is not like that at all. First, it takes just one athlete to ruin the integrity of a women’s sporting event. Second, the like or dislike of desert landscapes is purely a personal preference, while the questions of what constitutes mankind and womankind and whether children are to be considered all wise are questions that determine whether a society lives in reality or a fantasy land. Still, Reid then reached for another, even more ludicrous analogy, “In fact, there are more kids who have been exposed to gun violence, estimated at 3 million, than there are transgender Americans of all ages in total. Targeting trans people isn't new. It is an age-old tradition which Nazi Germany did with brutally violent ends in the 1930s. While the Supreme Court refuses to do anything about weapons of war in schools, today they seemed inclined to uphold Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors.” To make her case, Reid put up two headlines but didn’t elaborate on the corresponding articles. Perhaps there was a good reason why, because comparing not giving hormones to 10-year-olds to concentration camps and eugenics is absurd. Ironically, the people arguing in favor of “gender-affirming care” are the ones that push others towards sterility, but such details are inconvenient for Joy Reid. Here is a transcript for the December 4 shows: MSNBC The ReidOut 12/4/2024 11:45 PM ET 7:35 PM ET JOY REID: America's dealing with many issues, from grocery prices to gun violence, which is the number one cause of death for kids and teens, but the one issue that Republicans successfully exploited in this year's elections was their fear of the transgender community. Republicans spent at least, get this, $215 million on anti-trans TV ads with the most prominent coming from the Trump campaign itself. NARRATOR: Kamala even supports letting biological men compete against our girls in their sports. Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you. REID: Trump's argument was that Vice President Kamala Harris is fighting for they/them while he's fighting for you. Erin Reed, an independent journalist covering LGBTQ issues, tracked Trump campaign spending and found that they spent, okay, more money on anti-trans ads than they did on housing, immigration, and economy ads combined.  For context, in the 50 states, transgender adult Americans make up .5, not 5, .5 percent of the population, or 1.3 million Americans out of, like, 320 million. There are a little over 300,000 transgender youths in America. That's 1.4 percent of all young people between ages 13 and 17. That would be the numerical equivalent of the Republican Party targeting the entire city of Phoenix, Arizona, population 1.65 million, because they don't like the desert landscape.  In fact, there are more kids who have been exposed to gun violence, estimated at 3 million, than there are transgender Americans of all ages in total. Targeting trans people isn't new. It is an age-old tradition which Nazi Germany did with brutally violent ends in the 1930s. While the Supreme Court refuses to do anything about weapons of war in schools, today they seemed inclined to uphold Tennessee's ban on gender affirming care for minors.  While the decision is not expected for months, a majority of the justices parroted a string of debunked talking points, all under the guise of protecting the kids, just not every kid.

New York City council member Robert Holden (D) challenged Mayor Eric Adams (D) to back up his "tough talk" with action concerning the city's sanctuary policies.On Wednesday, Holden called for Adams to reopen the Immigration and Customs Enforcement outpost at Rikers Island, facilitating easier coordination between local law enforcement and federal immigration officers.'Mayor Adams should reopen the ICE office at Rikers Island.'Adams has faced criticism for waffling on his stance regarding sanctuary policies. Although the mayor insists he does not advocate for the deportation of law-abiding illegal aliens, he has intensified discussions about removing those accused of violent offenses.While Adams has acknowledged that the city's sanctuary status has shielded criminal illegal immigrants from ICE, he argues that his hands are largely tied since the policies can be revised only by the city council.On Tuesday, the mayor dared the left to "cancel" him over his commitment to work with the incoming Trump administration to facilitate the deportation of criminal illegal aliens. Adams also noted that the city's taxpayers have doled out more than $6.4 billion to provide services to over 200,000 migrants."We all should be angry at what happened to our city under this administration," Adams declared, referring to President Joe Biden's administration. "Cancel me, because I'm going to protect the people of this city," Adams remarked.Last week, Holden encouraged his fellow Democratic peers to rethink their position on sanctuary policies, arguing that they are "shielding" criminal illegal immigrants from ICE.In a letter to Adams, Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), and other city and state leaders, he pressed for the termination of sanctuary jurisdictions within New York.Holden has applauded President-elect Donald Trump's incoming border czar, Tom Homan, for vowing to hold local leaders responsible for thwarting ICE's efforts with sanctuary policies.On Wednesday, Holden challenged Adams to make good on his promise to cooperate with Trump's deportation efforts."Tough talk is good, but actions speak louder," Holden remarked. "The mayor had the chance to amend or repeal sanctuary city laws through his Charter Revision Commission but chose not to. Now, it's time to right these wrongs.""To truly show commitment to public safety, Mayor Adams should reopen the ICE office at Rikers Island and give the NYPD, [Department of Corrections], [Department of Probation] the ability to communicate with ICE and honor detainers for criminal migrants," he said.A spokesperson for Adams responded to Holden's comments, advising that he redirect his efforts toward convincing council members to reverse the sanctuary policies."Mayor Adams has repeatedly said that while we will continue to respect our city's sanctuary laws, we must also have a serious conversation about the small number of individuals who repeatedly commit violent crimes in our city and the consequences they should face," the spokesperson said. "We must also fix this nation's unsuccessful border policies that have led us to this place."Like Blaze News?

President Joe Biden generated a great deal of controversy Sunday by going back on his word and issuing a "full and unconditional" pardon for his felonious son Hunter Biden — not only absolving him of his felony tax offenses and felony conviction on gun charges but of other offenses committed or possibly committed against the United States over a 10-year period. It appears that those in Biden's orbit are keen for him to continue making waves with questionable pardons and to further demonstrate the insincerity of Democrats' declaration, "No one is above the law," before formally abdicating as president. Senior Democrats speaking to Politico under the condition of anonymity alleged this week that senior Biden aides "are conducting a vigorous internal debate over whether to issue pre-emptive pardons to a range of current and former public officials who could be targeted with President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House." Former Jan. 6 committee member Liz Cheney, Sen.-elect Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci were reportedly among the names raised during the deliberations organized by White House counsel Ed Siskel and promoted by congressional Democrats. Trump and other Republicans have criticized members of this trio in recent months and years. Following a report about the efforts of Schiff — who misled the country about the Trump probe — to censor critics, Trump issued a statement in January 2023, "Schiff is a sleazebag and traitor, and should be prosecuted for the damage he has done to our Country!" 'My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.' After the Biden Department of Justice ensured that Steve Bannon, like Peter Navarro, would go to prison for contempt of Congress — something Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland and former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder alternatively avoided accountability for — Trump wrote on Truth Social: It is a Total and Complete American Tragedy that the Crooked Joe Biden Department of Injustice is so desperate to jail Steve Bannon, and every other Republican, for that matter, for not SUBMITTING to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, made up of all Democrats, and two CRAZED FORMER REPUBLICAN LUNATICS, Cryin' Adam Kinzinger, and Liz "Out of Her Mind" Cheney. It has been irrefutably proven that it was the Unselects who committed actual crimes when they deleted and destroyed all material evidence, in a pathetic attempt to protect Crazy Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats from the TRUTH — THAT I DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG. The unAmerican Weaponization of our Law Enforcement has reached levels of Illegality never thought possible before. INDICT THE UNSELECT J6 COMMITTEE FOR ILLEGALLY DELETING AND DESTROYING ALL OF THEIR "FINDINGS!" Earlier this year, Trump reportedly reposted a meme of Liz Cheney, suggesting she was "guilty of treason." On another occasion, he wrote, "She should go to Jail along with the rest of the Unselect Committee!" Elements on the inbound administration have called for Fauci — who downplayed the likely lab origin of COVID-19, allegedly lied to Congress, and has been accused of various improprieties including possible federal records violations — to be prosecuted. In December 2022, Elon Musk, for instance, tweeted, "My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci." Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's nominee for health secretary, told Fox News while still a presidential candidate last year, "If there were crimes that he committed, of course, I would tell the attorney general to prosecute him, not hold off." Sources told Politico that Biden has not been brought into the pardon discussions yet — an allegation that might reinforce Trump's suspicion that "a committee of people," not Biden, has effectively been running the nation. While a White House spokesman declined to comment, he reportedly also did not deny the existence of the pardon deliberations. Democratic lawmakers, liberal talking heads, and other establishmentarians appear keen to see fellow travelers shielded from accountability. Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) issued a statement Wednesday calling on Biden "to issue a blanket pardon for anyone unjustly targeted by this vindictive scheme," referencing the so-called "enemies list" in Kash Patel's book "Government Gangsters." "If we're serious about stopping Trump's authoritarian ambitions, we need to act decisively and use every tool at our disposal," wrote Boyle. "Norms and traditions alone won't stop him — Trump has shown time and again that he's willing to ignore them to consolidate power and punish his opponents. The time for cautious restraint is over." 'The world is owed answers.' "I think that without question, Trump is going to try to act in a dictatorial way, in a fascistic way, in a revengeful [way his] first year ... towards individuals who he believes harmed him," U.S. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) told Boston Public Radio Tuesday. "If it's clear by January 19 that [revenge] is his intention, then I would recommend to President Biden that he provide those pre-emptive pardons to people, because that’s really what our country is going to need next year." Former Republican Paul Rosenzweig, a Department of Homeland Security official in the George W. Bush administration, claimed in an Atlantic article last month that Biden has a moral obligation to protect "courageous Americans [who] have risked their careers and perhaps even their liberty in an effort to stop Donald Trump's return to power." Rosenzweig, who served as an adviser for the 65 Project, a Democrat-hatched outfit that seeks to destroy the lives of attorneys that supported Trump, wrote: Biden has the unfettered power to issue pardons, and he should use it liberally. He should offer pardons, in addition to Cheney and Milley, to all of Trump's most prominent opponents: Republican critics, such as Adam Kinzinger, who put country before party to tell the truth about January 6; their Democratic colleagues from the House special committee; military leaders such as Jim Mattis, H.R. McMaster, and William McRaven; witnesses to Trump's conduct who worked for him and have since condemned him, including Miles Taylor, Olivia Troye, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Cassidy Hutchinson, and Sarah Matthews; political opponents such as Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff; and others who have been vocal in their negative views, such as George Conway and Bill Kristol. Schiff, a potential beneficiary of a blanket pardon, told Politico, "I would urge the president not to do that." "I think it would seem defensive and unnecessary," added Schiff. Cheney and Fauci did not similarly respond to the liberal publication's requests for comment. "If Anthony Fauci and Liz Cheney didn't commit any crimes, then why are Democrats asking Joe Biden to pardon them?" Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wisc.) asked on X. The prospect of Fauci in particular receiving blanket clemency rankled investigative reporter Matt Taibbi, who noted on Substack, "Joe Biden or whoever is running the White House can absolve anyone they please, but Anthony Fauci needs to stand tall before the man. The world is owed answers." Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini, noted, "Pardoning Fauci presents quite a dilemma for the Borg. On the one hand, if they don’t pardon him, ppl will be less likely to do their bidding going forward. On the other hand, it completely undermines their ability to control via Trust the Science."

Bullet casings recovered at the scene of Wednesday's fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — which New York City police called a "brazen" and "premeditated, preplanned targeted attack" — apparently were inscribed with words referring to health insurance claim denial tactics. NBC News reported that three live 9mm rounds and three discharged 9mm shell casings were found at the scene. Citing two law enforcement officials, the New York Times said police are investigating apparent messages on the casings, specifically words such as “delay” and “deny," which may point to ways health insurance companies attempt to avoid paying patient claims.'Threatening patients with a financial penalty for making the wrong decision could have a chilling effect on seeking emergency care.'The New York Post published a similar report, noting that sources said words such as “deny,” “depose,” and “defend” were engraved on live rounds and shell casings. The Post added that the words are similar to the main title of a 2010 book, “Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It.” CBS News published a video report discussing the apparently engraved words.The Times added that patients, lawmakers, and others have fiercely criticized UnitedHealthcare — one of the America’s largest health insurers — for denying patient claims.The Associated Press said Thompson drew attention in 2021 when UnitedHealthcare, "like its competitors," was criticized for its intention to deny payments "for what it deemed non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms."“Patients are not medical experts and should not be expected to self-diagnose during what they believe is a medical emergency,” the American Hospital Association's chief executive wrote in an open letter addressed to Thompson, according to the AP. “Threatening patients with a financial penalty for making the wrong decision could have a chilling effect on seeking emergency care.” The AP said United Healthcare responded by delaying rollout of the change.After his fatal shooting, Thompson's wife said he had been receiving "threats." Paulette Thompson told NBC News in a phone call that "there had been some threats. Basically, I don’t know, a lack of coverage? I don’t know details. I just know that he said there were some people that had been threatening him."A separate New York Post story — which cites a Wall Street Journal report — added that for years, Thompson, 50, and his wife had been living in separate homes less than a mile from each other in Maple Grove, Minnesota.The Post also reported that Thompson at the time of his killing was facing a Justice Department probe for insider trading.What else do we know?Police continue to look for the shooting suspect. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the suspect appeared to be lying in wait for Thompson for several minutes, CBS News reported, adding that a senior NYPD official said the suspect's arrival before Thompson outside the Hilton indicates that he knew about the CEO's comings and goings.More from CBS News:Police are using surveillance footage to determine how the suspect spent the hours before the shooting. At 5 a.m. Wednesday, about two hours before the attack, surveillance cameras captured the suspect outside near the Frederick Douglass Housing Project on Manhattan's Upper West Side, according to NYPD officials. Police executed a search warrant at a building in the area on Wednesday night. Police said they believe the suspect may have stayed there the night before the attack. Police also released surveillance images showing the suspect at a Starbucks two blocks from the shooting at 6:17 a.m., less than half an hour before the shooting. Police told CBS News they found unspecified "forensic evidence" at the Starbucks and that items recovered there are being tested for possible DNA and fingerprints by the NYPD's Crime Scene Unit. The suspect paid with cash, police said.Police said the suspect then waited for Thompson, who left his hotel shortly after 6:40 a.m. and headed to the Hilton across the street, CBS News reported. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said police are speaking to Thompson's coworkers to understand why he was headed to the hotel so early but acknowledged that Thompson was in charge of a conference there and may have been headed there to help set up.The suspect approached Thompson from behind at 6:44 a.m., then shot him at least once in the back and once in the right calf, CBS News said, adding that a security camera captured the moment of the shooting. Wanted poster for suspect in killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City, Dec. 4, 2024. Photo by Alex Kent/Getty Images According to NBC News, Kenny said at a Wednesday news conference that "the shooter then walks toward the victim and continues to shoot. It appears that the gun malfunctions as he clears the jam and begins to fire again."The suspect initially was described as a white male wearing a black hoodie, black pants, black sneakers with a white trim, and a gray backpack who was using a gun with a silencer, an individual familiar with the matter told CNBC. Kenny later told CBS News that the suspect was wearing a light brown or cream-colored jacket and that his backpack was "very distinctive."NYPD News posted on X other images here and here showing the person the outlet says is the suspect.You can view a Wednesday morning report from CBS News here on the manhunt for Thompson's killer.Like Blaze News?
