Governments and organizations around the world continue to attack free speech and try to force Big Tech to censor even more citizens.
The U.S. government did score a victory against the anti-free speech World Health Organization (WHO). But France is demanding detailed data from X, and leftist South American leaders are gathering in Chile for a summit aimed at restricting free speech. Also, Alexandre de Moraes, the infamous “Trotskyite” Brazilian Supreme Court justice, is once again demanding aggressive censorship from Big Tech. Free speech around the globe is at risk.
Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk’s platform X denied French government allegations of algorithm manipulation and “fraudulent data extraction,” France24 reported. Paris prosecutors launched a probe into the American tech company, but X is accusing France of targeting free speech and is refusing to provide the requested data.
“If we have to make a choice between censorship & losing money, we're gonna pick the second. We will support free speech rather than agree to be censored,” Musk reposted on X Monday. The French government is now criminally investigating Musk.
On July 18, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rejected proposed amendments to the World Health Organization treaty that would give itself the ability to dictate America’s future pandemic response.
Kennedy cited the fact that Big Tech companies justified censorship by using the WHO’s failed COVID-19 lockdown policies. “The proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations open the door to the kind of narrative management, propaganda, and censorship that we saw during the COVID pandemic,” he wrote in an X post. “The United States can cooperate with other nations without jeopardizing our civil liberties, without undermining our Constitution, and without ceding away America’s treasured sovereignty.”
Meanwhile, the leaders of Spain, Colombia, Brazil, Uruguay and Chile are gathering in Santiago to discuss “fighting extremism,” a phrase often used by leftists to justify censoring free speech. Twitter Files journalist Michael Shellenberger bashed the summit as an attempt by leftist leaders “to develop a global system of mass censorship.”
He added: “Their plan is to mandate digital IDs so governments can freeze bank accounts of those who refuse vaccinations, criticize mass migration, ‘misgender,’ and engage in other thought crimes. Most every Western nation is seeking a totalitarian system of information control modeled on China and ‘Black Mirror.’ Their efforts have only intensified since Trump was elected. Only the U.S. stands in the way.”
That’s not all. Last week, Brazil’s Moraes again forced Truth Social and Rumble to court over the companies’ refusal to censor Brazilian dissidents as demanded. This follows a similar case in the same Florida appeals court, which the companies won. Rumble was allowed back into Brazil after a suspension but is still fighting the government.
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.
