The newly appointed FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has made it clear that dismantling the “censorship cartel” is his primary goal. His plan to address what he perceives as rampant censorship on social media platforms and beyond was detailed during a recent interview on “Sunday Morning Futures.” “Combating tech censorship is going to be one of the top priorities for me. We need to restore Americans’ right to free speech,” Carr emphasized. He discussed the role of major tech companies like Facebook in this alleged cartel, accusing them of collaborating with advertisers and government officials to curtail the free speech rights of the public. “You mentioned Facebook and other companies. They’ve been part of a censorship cartel that have worked with advertisers. They’ve worked with government officials to censor the free speech rights of everyday Americans, and that’s got to end because censorship isn’t just about stopping work. It’s about stopping ideas.” https://video.reclaimthenet.org/articles/carr-b-4.mp4 Carr continued, highlighting the stifling effect of censorship on innovation and prosperity. “America is a country of founders, of people that have pushed boundaries, pushed frontiers. They’ve innovated and, when you silence speech, you silence ideas, and we unleash America’s prosperity again. That’s why you feel this vibe shifting in the country where people know President Trump is about to lead another great American comeback, because this wet blanket of government control is going away, and our economy is going to flourish again.” The appointment of Carr comes at a time when many have accused Big Tech firms of bias and suppression of certain voices. This was evident when Twitter notoriously suppressed a story about Hunter Biden’s laptop just before Elon Musk took over the company, and other platforms, including Facebook, faced backlash for limiting information labeled as misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has recently expressed regrets over yielding to the Biden-Harris administration’s demands to censor specific content.

Joe Biden: The System Is Rigged

Sir David Attenborough calls it “one of the strangest of all Asian creatures.”

The idea is probably very old, but there's not much evidence to support it.

The Goldilocks Zone for habitability around a star may be narrower than we think.

Researchers believe it is possible to detect messages from aliens flying between planets, reports Popular Mechanics. For more than half a century, scientists have been trying to detect messages from potential alien civilizations that inhabit our galaxy. So far, no signals have been detected that would indicate the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent life, but the search continues. Researchers are mainly focused on finding alien messages that are directed at Earth or those that fly by. But aliens can exchange messages between planets outside the solar system. The authors of the study, published in The Astronomical Journal, believe that this communication can be re-listened. Astronomers have come up with a way that tests show could detect alien radio communications. From Earth, one exoplanet, that is, a planet outside the solar system, can be observed passing in front of another and blocking it. This is called an eclipse. But the eclipsing planet does not always completely block the planet behind it. So any message that hypothetical aliens transmit from the eclipsed planet can be transmitted into space, and ground-based radio telescopes can detect it. In this way, scientists believe, the presence of extraterrestrial intelligence can be confirmed even if the aliens do not intend to contact other civilizations, but simply communicate with each other. According to the researchers, their method can detect narrow-band radio signals. Such signals are clearly artificial, since only humans are known to transmit them. They believe that the presence of such radio signals would be evidence that communication is taking place in deep space, although it does not necessarily mean that aliens want to communicate with us. The authors of the study believe that alien civilizations would most likely use the same communication methods as humans. At the same time, narrowband signals are easier to decipher if they are based on the same physics that we know. Although whether this will work, scientists cannot yet answer. At the same time, astronomers acknowledge that any potential alien civilization could exist much longer than human civilization. So their methods of communication could differ significantly. For example, aliens may communicate using gravitational waves, or pulsations in the fabric of space-time. These waves have not yet been fully studied, so it is virtually impossible to understand whether their source is artificial or emitted by a natural object.

Author J.K. Rowling blasted Britain's state broadcaster after the media giant named an athlete who has failed a gender test as its top female soccer player of the year.Barbra Banda, a Zambian-born player who plays for the Orlando Pride in the United States, was named by the BBC as its women's footballer of the year for 2024.Banda was disqualified from the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations competition after allegedly failing a "gender verification" test that all tournament participants are subject to, Blaze News reported at the time.Rowling, who has been a staunch critic of males who claim to be female and participate in women's sports, responded to the news by saying the award was likely easier than directly insulting women in person."Presumably the BBC decided this was more time efficient than going door to door to spit directly in women's faces," she wrote. — (@) In 2022, Banda reportedly showed natural testosterone levels that exceeded the limits set by the Confederation of African Football.Andrew Karmanga, president of the Football Association of Zambia, told BBC Sport Africa, "All the players had to undergo gender verification, a CAF requirement, and unfortunately [Banda] did not meet the criteria set by CAF."The BBC claimed that in 2023 Banda took medication to reduce testosterone levels, but the levels did not decrease enough by the time the WAFCON tournament started.However, Blaze News found in 2024 that further investigations alleged Banda, along with two other teammates, reportedly refused to take testosterone suppressants due to unremunerated side effects.Comedian Leonarda Jonie told Blaze News at the time the decisions are "meant to humiliate [women].""Everyone knows this is wrong, especially the people who let it happen."'I feel like my mind is that strong, and I know where I am coming from.'Banda was asked directly about the issue when accepting the BBC award."I do not like to dwell on the past, but I have just to focus on myself," Banda told the BBC. "Whatever has happened in the past, it is the past, I am focusing on the new generation and where I am right now and just to focus on my career and the charity that I do back home in Zambia with a lot of people in the community. So that is my main focus right now."Banda added, "If I kept on thinking about what was going on in the past, mentally then I would not be where I am right now. But I feel like my mind is that strong, and I know where I am coming from."According to the Telegraph, before soccer, Banda was a boxer, winning all five professional matches.Like Blaze News?
