Censorship Will Lead to the Destruction of America and American Culture
This video description highlights how censorship is eroding freedom in America. From the perspective of the author, it is evident that censorship by liberal-run social media companies and major news networks is a severe issue.
Since the onset of the COVID pandemic, authorities both in the United States and across the globe have exploited the pretext of “disinformation” to curtail free speech and suppress discussions on various topics, from mask and vaccine efficacy to global conflicts and political scandals.
A diverse group of 136 academics, historians, and journalists from various political backgrounds have united to address President Biden about the growing censorship that threatens the core principles of democracy. In their “Westminster Declaration,” they emphasize that open discourse is vital for accountability, empowering vulnerable groups, and averting tyranny.
The signatories include well-known figures such as Jordan Peterson, Richard Dawkins, Edward Snowden, and many others. They express their deep concern about the weaponization of terms like “misinformation” and “disinformation,” leading to censorship of individuals, journalists, and dissidents worldwide.
Censorship crackdowns are evident in various countries, with governments gaining more authority to remove political content from social media and criminalize political speech. Several proposed bills in different countries threaten to restrict freedom of expression.
In the United States, subtler forms of censorship, such as visibility filtering, labeling, and search engine result manipulation, have become prevalent. Social media platforms have silenced lawful opinions on national and global issues with the support of mainstream media “disinformation experts” and “fact-checkers.”
The signatories warn of further attempts to target encrypted messaging apps, stating that breaking end-to-end encryption would eliminate avenues for authentic private conversations.
Censorship is counterproductive, leading to mistrust, radicalization, and delegitimization of the democratic process. It is emphasized that attacks on free speech precede assaults on other liberties and pose a significant threat to democracy.
The signatories call on tech companies to refrain from censorship, urge governments and NGOs to respect free speech as a human right protected by the UN Declaration of Human Rights, and encourage the public to reject a climate of intolerance and embrace investigation and debate.
The description also mentions the “Missouri v. Biden” lawsuit that reveals a censorship scheme between the federal government and Big Tech, with more than 60 officials or agencies accused of violating the First Amendment. The video description concludes by highlighting the impact of censorship on The New York Post’s reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop, suggesting that it may have affected the outcome of the presidential election.
