Jane Fonda is relaunching her father's "Committee for the First Amendment," proclaiming Trump is engaged in a "coordinated campaign to silence critics." We're still reckoning with the dramatic Biden Administration pressure campaign to silence and deplatform critics across Big Tech platforms. But the pro-Biden media routinely ignore leftist censorship against conservative "misinformation." They skipped coverage of Google's letter admitting the Biden administration censorship pressure, as they ignored the Twitter Files and so on. I'm joined on this episode by Michael Morris, director of MRC's Free Speech America and Luis Cornelio, associate editor at FSA. Apple and Microsoft joined Google on Wednesday in ignoring right-leaning news about the government shutdown. They failed to include right-leaning news sources on Wednesday and instead propped up the leftist media and their blame-Republicans narrative, sharing articles shared articles from leftist sources like ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Reuters, The Associated Press, Axios, and the socialist British newspaper The Guardian. This annoying habit of suggesting only liberal sources are relialbe sources is still happening on Elon Musk's X. Luis reported that although visibility scores are important, X accounts must also surpass a certain “reputation” metric threshold to be considered by the algorithm to begin with. If an account has a reputation score below 65, it effectively faces automatic censorship.  Last year’s numbers were shocking: 100 percent of left-leaning media sources exceeded the 65 threshold. In contrast, 75 percent of right-leaning media outlets fell short, suggesting they were censored. In 2025, censorship on the X platform has drastically decreased, with right-leaning media sources averaging 69 percent for reputation, and with just 29 percent of right-leaning media outlets below the 65-reputation-score threshold. But eight right-leaning media sources fell below that mark. The specific media outlets that registered scores lower than 65 include: The Epoch Times, The American Spectator, The Blaze, New York Post's Opinion section, OANN, and The Post Millennial, each scoring 60.  Wikipedia founder Larry Sanger just told Tucker Carlson that Wikipedia is censoring right-wing media sources. MRC Free Speech America exposed this wildly biased list in February 2025, calling out the propaganda website’s editors for labelling mainstream right-of-center media sources like The Daily Wire and the New York Post, among others, as “blacklisted,” “deprecated,” or “generally unreliable,” while greenlighting leftist legacy media sources like MSNBC, Mother Jones, The New York Times, and CNN. MRC research showed how 100 percent of right-of-center media sources, as determined by AllSides Media Bias Chart, were effectively blacklisted. Finally, we discussed FSA head honcho Dan Schneider's op-ed this week in the New York Post: "Google’s sly censorship ‘confession’ is no big win for free speech." Schneider's points were quite clear: "Google admitted no wrongdoing, Google volunteered nothing, Google clarified nothing, Google pledged nothing, Google changed nothing, Google said nothing."

Several Arizona police departments are piloting a new AI-powered policing tool that promises to revolutionize how officers catch criminals. But without robust constitutional safeguards, this cutting-edge technology could pose a serious threat to the civil liberties of everyday Americans.Arizona police agencies are now testing a new AI program that “deploys lifelike virtual agents, which infiltrate and engage criminal networks across various channels.” The program, called Overwatch, was developed by Massive Blue and provides police departments with up to 50 different AI personas. While the technology could, in theory, be used for noble purposes, ... it also creates new opportunities for government overreach.These include a sex trafficker persona, an escort persona, a 14-year-old boy in a child trafficking scenario, and a vaguely defined “college protester.” Beyond social media monitoring, the program allows police to communicate directly with suspects while posing as one of these AI-generated personas, all without a warrant.No transparencySo far, both the police departments using Overwatch and the company behind it have been extremely secretive about its operations. Massive Blue co-founder Mike McGraw declined to answer questions from 404 Media, which first broke the story, about how the program works, which departments are using it, and whether it has led to any arrests.“We cannot risk jeopardizing these investigations and putting victims’ lives in further danger by disclosing proprietary information,” McGraw said.The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, one of the few agencies that have confirmed using the program, admitted it has not yet led to any arrests. Officials refused to provide details, saying, “We cannot risk compromising our investigative efforts by providing specifics about any personas.”At an appropriations hearing, a Pinal County deputy sheriff also declined to share information about the program with the county council. Remarkably, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, which funds the initiative, does not appear to have been informed about the program’s specifics.While the technology could, in theory, be used for noble purposes, such as preventing terrorist attacks or combating human trafficking, it also creates new opportunities for government overreach. Without safeguards, it poses a direct threat to the civil liberties of innocent Americans.Invitation to entrapmentHistory is full of examples of government entrapment and abuse of power. In the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.), for example, FBI involvement played a central role in bringing groups together that may never have otherwise connected. Similarly, in Jacobson v. United States (1992), federal agents sent child sexual abuse material through the mail to a man with no prior criminal record, leading to his conviction, which was later overturned.RELATED: Netflix’s chilling new surveillance tools are watching you Photo Illustration by Piotr Swat/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesIn both cases, it is doubtful the crimes would have occurred without government intervention. A program like Overwatch makes such abuses easier, granting the government new ways to monitor and manipulate citizens who have never been convicted of a crime, and all without warrants.The risks are compounded by the program’s vague and troubling categories, such as “college protester,” which could be redefined depending on who is in power. That opens the door for the technology to be weaponized against political dissent, even when no crime has been committed.Without serious constitutional safeguards, programs like this are poised to become political tools of tyranny. Americans must demand warrant requirements and legislative oversight before this technology spreads nationwide and the erosion of our constitutional liberties becomes irreversible.
