CensorTrack is an MRC\u00a0database designed<\/a>\u00a0to show the proof of the extent of Big Tech censorship. The database team has logged 3,318 overall cases of censorship on multiple Big Tech platforms concerning a myriad of issues such as elections, COVID-19, climate change and race. Each CensorTrack entry includes a written report backed up by internal records and documentation proving censorship.<\/p>\n

The worst case of documented COVID-19 censorship came from Facebook. The platform\u00a0deleted<\/a>\u00a0the Great Barrington Declaration\u2019s account page.\u00a0Prominent international disease experts<\/a>\u00a0developed the declaration to oppose harsh COVID-19 lockdowns imposed on citizens by many world governments, measures that were shown to have had \u201clittle to no effect\u201d on COVID-19 mortality, according to a Johns Hopkins University\u00a0study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Facebook didn\u2019t stop with the Great Barrington Declaration. The platform also went after the British Medical Journal for\u00a0accusing<\/a>\u00a0a company contracted by vaccine producer Pfizer of engaging in practices that undermined \u201cdata integrity\u201d related to the company\u2019s vaccine trials.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Social media censorship is disturbing and has, in fact, mislabeled things as “misinformation” when, months to years later, that “misinformation” now appears to be true.<\/p>\n

When BigTech acts as a government censor via proxy, skeptical inquiry and learning cannot proceed.<\/p>\n

I discontinued using my main Twitter account in early January and deleted my remaining content there (I routinely deleted posts 2-4 weeks old so there was not much to delete).<\/p>\n

I had a second account that had been idle, but I used for a bit. This past week, I decided to delete that account.<\/p>\n

I will keep my original account primarily to search and track items in “real time” when incidents occur. But not to post much anymore.<\/p>\n

Twitter is sort of a dystopian world of angry people. I am thinking that while many people on Twitter are definitely not stupid, unfortunately, all stupid people are on Twitter which creates a warped noise-to-signal ratio (meaning, mostly noise).<\/p>\n

After the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I deleted almost all past content on Facebook. I now post one item every few months, just to let friends know I am still alive. Most of my FB friends are seldom posting new content anymore – each time I log in, my “newsfeed” shows me posts I have already seen.<\/p>\n

I suspect we have passed “peak social media” and social media users have gone on to other things (not just TikTok).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
