Joe Biden should mind what he wants for Christmas. The Great Uniter embraced the Colorado Supreme Court’s divisive decision Tuesday to boot Donald J. Trump from the Centennial State’s presidential ballot‚ for inciting an insurrection on January 6‚ 2021. Never mind that Trump has not been convicted‚ tried or even indicted for that crime. Concluding […]

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Rumble‚ the popular free speech video platform‚ is blocking access to its services in Brazil‚ rather than ban specific creators on its platform. This decision follows a contentious legal dispute with Brazilian authorities over content censorship demands. According to a statement released by Rumble‚ the Brazilian courts had issued an order demanding the removal of certain creators from the platform. In response‚ Rumble emphasized its commitment to maintaining a free and open internet‚ stating that it refuses to alter its content policies or discriminate against users based on their views‚ regardless of popularity. “Users with unpopular views are free to access our platform on the same terms as our millions of other users‚” the statement from Rumble asserted. The company highlighted its dedication to not “move the goalposts” on its established content policies‚ standing firm against external pressures to censor creators. “Rumble is the only company at our scale that holds the line for free speech and American values‚” Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski posted on X. “It’s my wish‚ that one day‚ big tech joins us in this fight and responds like we do. That’s the day everyone wins. I will continue to lead by example until that day arrives.” As a result of this impasse‚ Rumble has chosen to disable access to its platform for users in Brazil. Similar to the situation with France‚ this measure is part of the company’s strategy to legally challenge the demands of the Brazilian courts. While Rumble expressed disappointment over the impact this decision has on Brazilian users‚ who now lose access to a diverse array of content unless they use a VPN to access the platform‚ the company remains resolute in its stance. The platform’s officials hope for a reconsideration of the court’s decisions‚ aiming to restore service in Brazil soon.

As 2023 winds down‚ it's time to review the best (or the worst) of "The View." NB Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro discusses how Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin are alleged to represent a Republican viewpoint‚ but most of the time‚ they are just as liberal as the others‚ and demand the Republicans surrender on social issues like abortion. These women are nothing like Meghan McCain‚ who seemed like she would be a liberal Republican when she began. But she strongly dissented from the others on many issues (despite her disdain for Donald Trump)‚ and liberal guests had to be wary of what questions she might bring. On a recent show‚ Navarro compared her to Hunter Biden in making money off her family name...as if there are no differences? One of the forthcoming "worst of The View" blogs is about the women having crazy conspiracy theories‚ like somehow the Republicans planted cocaine in the White House to embarrass the Bidens. This seems to be in conflict -- the Republicans are stupid and inept‚ but Nick joked somehow they're "ninjas" who slip in to cause trouble for Democrats. We also discuss their loathing of guns and "gun culture." Nick's birthday is Christmas Eve‚ so we went out for lunch to celebrate before today's conversation.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta boasted about a “fundamental shift” of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in every part of your life. Facebook and Instagram‚ both Meta-owned social media platforms‚ already attempt to control what users see online‚ including through censorship and manipulation of free speech. As Meta boasted in a year-end report of its “mixed reality” AI features‚ smart glasses‚ and future “human-level AI‚” one thing is clear: Meta aims to make its technology inseparable from people’s daily lives. On the other hand‚ it has adopted an “open source” business model to make its source code available and transparent to the public‚ the opposite of Google’s approach‚ which aims to keep its dark arts secret.  But how dangerous would it be for a company that attempts to control free speech to be shaping people’s perception of the world through “smart glasses” and “mixed reality”? Is this a new threat to freedom of speech? In the report‚ Meta cited radical leftist billionaire Bill Gates while bragging about its investment in AI and the “metaverse‚” claiming the two now intersect. “We believe one of the most powerful manifestations of cutting edge AI will be assistants like Meta AI that can understand the world around you and help you throughout your day‚ eventually without needing to be prompted‚” the company announced. But‚ as MRC Free Speech America VP Dan Schneider has emphasized‚ AI could also turbo-charge censorship and control of speech as never before. “Research has shown that ChatGPT and other AI models already promote a liberal agenda. Our own research has shown that Google’s Bard is especially bad. But we also know that Meta is able to discern people’s thought processes with its technology‚ essentially making it an AI-powered mind reader‚” said MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider. “Instead of investigating the use of these technologies and addressing the threat of closed-source AI models‚ Joe Biden has issued a gag order to keep the government on the sidelines while many of these Big Tech companies continue their work in secret.” For instance‚ Meta proudly predicted its AI Ray-Ban glasses will “translate a foreign language you’re trying to read‚ or come up with a funny caption for a photo you’ve taken… all hands free‚ without you needing to pull out a phone or operate an app.” If Meta already made MRC Free Speech America’s list of worst censors for the year with just the Facebook and Instagram apps‚ how much more could it attack free speech with AI devices? The company noted‚ “Within months of the Meta Quest 3 launch‚ seven of the top 20 apps are mixed reality apps.” These allow users to “add” AI features to their real world experiences. This could raise both privacy and free speech concerns‚ however. Censorship-heavy Meta is not a reliable company. Conservatives are under attack. Contact Facebook headquarters at (650) 308-7300 and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency‚ clarity on “misinformation” and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored‚ contact us using CensorTrack’s contact form‚ and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has announced that it has appointed Pierre Krahenbuhl‚ who was dismissed from the United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) amid controversy‚ to be its new director-general. The UNRWA has been a source of controversy itself in recent years‚ particularly since the Hamas terror attacks of October 7th rocked the nation of Israel. The UNRWA has been accused in recent years of distributing materials that glorify terrorism‚ and the organization's relationship with terror group Hamas came under additional scrutiny recently when UNRWA tweeted that Hamas had misappropriated aid materials intended for Palestinian refugees‚ only to later retract the tweet without adequate explanation. Krahenbuhl's tenure at the head of UNRWA was particularly turbulent. Krahenbuhl was effectively forced out in 2019 amid an internal investigation that accused him of ethical lapses and mismanagement - accusations that Krahenbuhl strongly denied. The internal investigation largely concluded that Krahenbuhl was innocent of the charges against him. Krahenbuhl has a lengthy history of working in high level positions with the ICRC‚ which has itself come under increased scrutiny for its alleged willingness to turn a blind eye to the murderous activity of terror groups‚ including Hamas. ICRC now faces a lawsuit in Israeli court which accuses the aid organization of refusing to provide aid in a proper fashion to the hostages which are currently being held by Hamas in violation of international law. A spokesman for ICRC responded to the lawsuit by saying that the Red Cross has "been meeting with Hamas at all levels and undertaking humanitarian diplomacy efforts to gain access to people being held‚ to be able to visit them and bring the necessary items‚ like medicines."Additionally‚ since the eruption of hostilities in Israel‚ the Red Cross has overwhelmingly criticized the Israeli government while largely ignoring the human rights abuses perpetrated by Hamas in its territory.
