Strategies to Counter Censorship: Promoting Open-Source Platforms and User-Centric Policies

Big Tech’s assault on your free speech has reached critical levels, with conservative voices systematically silenced across platforms. Silicon Valley elites and Biden officials have colluded to censor legitimate content while allowing leftist narratives to flourish unimpeded. Patriots are fighting back with new strategies that promise to break these tech oligarchs’ stranglehold on American discourse.

The Growing Censorship Crisis

Social media platforms created to democratize information have betrayed their founding mission. They now serve as gatekeepers, consolidating control over what Americans can see, share, and discuss online.

The Heritage Foundation experienced this censorship firsthand when Amazon blocked the promotion of a book by Mike Gonzalez. This targeted suppression only reversed after significant pressure, demonstrating the uphill battle conservatives face in the digital town square.

Biden Administration’s Role in Silencing Americans

Evidence reveals direct coordination between the Biden White House and Big Tech companies to censor Americans. Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted the administration was “flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.”

Mark Zuckerberg recently confirmed the administration’s heavy-handed tactics, stating Biden officials would “call up our team and, like, scream at them and curse.” His admission validates long-standing concerns about government overreach into private speech platforms.

Fighting Back Against Digital Tyranny

The Federal Trade Commission has launched an investigation into Big Tech censorship that could finally hold these companies accountable. FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson has declared that “Big Tech censorship is not just un-American, it is potentially illegal.”

President Trump has proposed eliminating the government “disinformation” offices at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. These offices have functioned primarily as speech police targeting conservative viewpoints rather than protecting Americans from genuine threats.

The Hunter Biden laptop story is the most egregious example of coordinated censorship in recent years. Twitter and Facebook suppressed this legitimate news story just weeks before the 2020 election, potentially affecting its outcome.

Open-source platforms offer promising alternatives to the current censorship regime by putting control back in users’ hands. Their transparent operations prevent the hidden manipulation that has become standard practice at mainstream tech companies.

Americans concerned about Big Tech censorship can submit complaints to the FTC through May 21st. Heritage Action for America has provided a portal with helpful guidelines for effectively documenting censorship experiences.

The Wall Street Journal’s exposé on Facebook’s XCheck program revealed the company’s two-tiered content moderation system. This program allowed certain elite users to bypass normal content restrictions while average Americans faced strict enforcement.

Promoting competition among tech platforms remains essential for breaking the information monopoly. When companies must compete for users, they become less likely to engage in politically motivated censorship that alienates significant portions of their audience.

The fight for digital free speech represents one of the most consequential battles for constitutional rights. Americans who value their First Amendment protections must remain vigilant against encroaching censorship from both government and corporate sources.
