Conservatives Fight Back Against Socialist Media

In Our Opinion, Nothing Will Stop The Censorship Until A Viable Alternative Is Available But Hopefully MRC Will Prove Us Wrong.

On the same day Twitter announced their new and improved way to censor Twitter users they don't politically agree with, the Media Research Center (MRC) along with 18 leading conservative organizations announced the formation of a new, permanent coalition,  Conservatives Against Online Censorship.





Twitters new attempt to silence the right is to identify and filter trolls and harmful users, based not on any specific tweet, but on how they use the social network holistically. Of course, similar to "Hate Speech" Twitter never actually explain what that all means or what would actually make your tweets get sent down the poop shoot.

Twitter has also long "shadowbanned" users, meaning it limits how visible their tweets are to others when the social network detects they may be behaving (IN THEIR OPINION) in an abusive or spammy manner.

Twitter just "Shadowbanned" our twitter account @Bluepillsheep because we went after @Jack, David Hogg and his merry little band of Parkland Punks.

Our impressions were cut by 90-95%. On an average day we would reach 150,000 impressions, but three weeks ago our impressions suddenly dropped to roughly 5,000. In the past week, they started to slowly creep back up to normal.

Facebook has banned Bluepillsheep.com ten times in 2018, YouTube demonetized our entire account, so we do know a thing or two about conservative bias. Strange we also own WildlifePlanet.net an animal rights site but while we post the same exact way, in four years we haven't received the censorship we receive in a week at Bluepillsheep?

In response to tech giants Facebook, Twitter, Google and YouTube's push to make social media look more like Socialist media, Conservatives Against Online Censorship will try to shine a spotlight on their blatant censorship that has been going on for years.
This new coalition will urge Facebook, Twitter, Google and YouTube to address the four following key areas of concern:

Provide Transparency: We need detailed information so everyone can see if liberal groups and users are being treated the same as those on the right. Social media companies operate in a black-box environment, only releasing anecdotes about reports on content and users when they think it necessary. This needs to change. The companies need to design open systems so that they can be held accountable, while giving weight to privacy concerns.
Provide Clarity on ‘Hate Speech’: “Hate speech” is a common concern among social media companies, but no two firms define it the same way. Their definitions are vague and open to interpretation, and their interpretation often looks like an opportunity to silence thought. Today, hate speech means anything liberals don’t like. Silencing those you disagree with is dangerous. If companies can’t tell users clearly what it is, then they shouldn’t try to regulate it.
Provide Equal Footing for Conservatives: Top social media firms, such as Google and YouTube, have chosen to work with dishonest groups that are actively opposed to the conservative movement, including the Southern Poverty Law Center. Those companies need to make equal room for conservative groups as advisers to offset this bias. That same attitude should be applied to employment diversity efforts. Tech companies need to embrace viewpoint diversity.
Mirror the First Amendment: Tech giants should afford their users nothing less than the free speech and free exercise of religion embodied in the First Amendment as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court. That standard, the result of centuries of American jurisprudence, would enable the rightful blocking of content that threatens violence or spews obscenity, without trampling on free speech liberties that have long made the United States a beacon for freedom.

“Social media is the most expansive and most game-changing form of communication today. It is these facts that make online political censorship one of the largest threats to free speech we have ever seen. Conservatives should be given the same ability to express their political ideas online as liberals, without the fear of being suppressed or censored,” said Media Research Center President Brent Bozell.

The Media Research Center sent letters to representatives at Facebook, Twitter, Google and YouTube last week asking each company to address these complaints, so far only Facebook has issued a formal response.

On April 16, the Media Research Center released an extensive report detailing the censorship of conservative voices online.
