Microsoft has staked a claim in the growing field of “media literacy” and “digital literacy,” which aims to instruct members of the public – especially schoolchildren – in what types of digital media they ought to trust and distrust. As FFO has previously reported, media and digital literacy is the latest in a long string of pretexts by the ideologically biased censorship industry to prevent the public from accessing disfavored information sources.
Elon is on 🔥🔥🔥

Is that clear? I hope it is."

Doctors working on the front lines providing early COVID treatment and raising concerns regarding the safety and effectiveness of the COVID genetic vaccines have long suspected that the US Government Department of Health and Human Services was colluding with Big Tech to censor, defame, gaslight and deplatform anyone who veers from the government-approved narrative regarding these matters. But now we finally have hard evidence which documents this blatant infringement on the right to free speech by the US Government.
Woke pro-LGBTQ group GLAAD just gave five Big Tech platforms a failing score on LGBTQ “safety” online.
“They don’t have enforcement,” GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis claimed July 14 on CBS Mornings.
Radical LGBTQ+ organization GLAAD published a report giving five major social media companies failing grades for “safety” related to LGBTQ+ users. Ironically, GLAAD complained that Big Tech is censoring LGBTQ+ people online, while the organization simultaneously demanded a massive increase in censorship of supposedly bothersome content.
There was a very curious conference held in Colorado last month made up of government groups, FBI, DOJ, CISA, and EAC. There were liberal groups such as ERIC, CTCL, and Elections Group. Microsoft sent representatives. There was even a representative from Maricopa County. Isn’t it odd that all the same people and groups that made the 2020 election the most crooked since Kennedy won the presidency in 1960?
Even though independent media’s reporting on waning effectiveness and adverse reactions to the Covid vaccine is routinely suppressed by Big Tech, the reports are getting through to Americans who are increasingly refusing to put more Covid shots in their arms despite the advice of the CDC, Big Tech and Big Media to continue to do so, a physician noted.
At a Twitter company meeting Monday about the decision to accept Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition offer, CEO Parag Agrawal avoided speculating on how its new owner might change the platform. For one employee watching, Musk’s public comments had already made the likely consequences clear: Twitter appeared poised to loosen content moderation, making it a less welcoming place for both users and advertisers.
For the second time in as many years, we’re witnessing a partisan public relations campaign masquerading as objective science.

The Department of Homeland Security has created a governance board to police “misinformation” and “disinformation,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas first revealed to Congress on Wednesday. The effort has been criticized as a government effort to police free speech.
“Democracy Dies in Darkness” is the motto of the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post. It may sound like a warning, but more and more it seems like a summary of the left’s aspirations to control debate and shut down any opposition.
According to a New York Magazine exposé, the leaders of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) are reportedly calling the shots on which content Facebook and Twitter should block.
The report finds evidence that BLM used its influence with social media platforms to censor reporting on the organization’s shady financial activities.
The New York Post broke the laptop story near the end of the presidential campaign. The story was explosive, of course, and the media pile-on intense. Some piled on Hunter Biden, but more piled on the Post. They questioned the authenticity of the hard drive and the timing and accuracy of the story.
Twitter blocked the story from even being shared. Facebook hid the story. Politico said it might be “Russian disinformation.” A Washington Post column called it “laughably weak.” A New York Times piece labeled it “farcical retread of the Russian hack-and-leak operation that helped torpedo Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations.” The story was mocked and buried.
Now, a year and a half later, the Post and Times admit that major parts of the story were accurate.
Also, there are two laptops involved. The Russians have one.
The new regulatory regime would require companies like Google and the Meta Platforms-owned Facebook — and other major online platforms that reproduce or facilitate access to news content — to either pay up or go through a binding arbitration process led by an arms-length regulator, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
Musk conducted an informal poll on Twitter on Friday, which stated: “Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy. Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?”
More than 2 million people responded to the poll with 70.4% saying that Twitter did not adhere to the principle.
