John,
Today marks the dawn of a new day, a milestone in the protection and sanctity of free speech embodied in the Bill of Rights. Today, the MRC is launching CensorTrack, part of MRC’s Free Speech America effort — to fight attempts to silence conservative speech across the media spectrum.
The CensorTrack initiative is an archive of concrete examples of Big Tech efforts to silence conservatives online, including censorship by company (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, Google, YouTube) and issue (i.e. pro-life, second amendment rights). You will also learn about key players and the positive effects the MRC is having on lawmakers and public opinion in the battle against Big Tech.
The majority of the examples archived in this database come from reporting by MRC’s TechWatch — an MRC program that focuses on exposing media bias across social media and stemming from tech companies.
“We’ve been encouraging these companies to embrace the American ideal of free speech for years. They don’t. Instead, they limit speech from those they disagree with and inject their left-wing views in the rules that govern their platforms.” — Brent Bozell, President & Founder, The MRC
MRC efforts have already paid dividends for free speech, such as President Trump’s executive order to clarify the scope of Section 230 and hold Big Tech accountable for censorship, which the president supported with MRC research.
Tremendous victory. But we must keep the pressure on.
Remember, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech.” But courtesy of Section 230, part of an archaic federal law that gives liability protection to online companies for content, the free speech of conservatives is being abridged — censored — with impunity by the Big Tech monopolies.
According to research by esteemed psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein, the manipulation of search results by Google could sway up to “15 million votes” to the leftist candidate in the 2020 national election.
We cannot overstate the importance and urgency of Free Speech America and its mission.
As we have seen the chaos, violence, and anarchy in the streets, the true nature of the social unrest is clear: to fundamentally transform America into a Socialist state. On cue, the left-wing media applauds, while Big Tech systematically censors opposition.
“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” — Benjamin Franklin
We are combating an existential threat to America and its freedoms. We must win this battle — and together, we will. The MRC will use every tool in our arsenal to fight to preserve our nation, and your rights and conservative ideals. Free Speech America is the final surge in this battle.
As a valued MRC Action Grassroots Army supporter, you are an integral part of the MRC, and we would like to recruit your help in our mission. Have you been censored online? Visit CensorTrack and submit your story. Keep in mind, the more proof of censorship, the stronger our case.
Your patriotic spirit drives us. Thanks to your continued support, the MRC can meet and fight new challenges. Thank you.
— The MRC Action Team
