It appears that the Leftwing oligarchs who run Silicon Valley, and especially the social media monopolists at Twitter and Facebook, keep trying to censor this Trump video. Unlike the social media giants, we want Americans to view it and judge for themselves, so please watch it and forward it to your family, friends, fellow church members, clubs and social networks if you like it too - it would be a real shame if CHQ readers and friends helped spread it and keep it live through the election.

We applaud the fact that President Trump and Secretary Ross agree with us that the time has passed for lame excuses from Big Tech. The Commerce Department petition is a good first step, however, absent Congress acting decisively to counter the threat to freedom of speech from Big Tech companies, it’s time for the federal government to also consider antitrust solutions for companies like Google and the rest of the Big Tech industry that have grown too powerful and too irresponsible.

We all know that America's Frontline Doctors weren’t deplatformed and censored for providing misleading information about COVID-19, they were deplatformed and censored for providing information that demonstrates President Trump was right, and that contradicts and undermines the Democrats’ plan to ramp up the misery to help them defeat Trump in the 2020 election.

The Free Speech Alliance, which includes ConservativeHQ.com, has released a letter saying if Google won’t be honest and fix its censorship problem, then Congress must act decisively to counter the threat to freedom of speech from Google and other Big Tech companies. It’s time for the federal government to consider antitrust solutions for companies like Google and the rest of the Big Tech industry that have grown too powerful and too irresponsible.

President Trump’s Executive Order puts the Trump administration squarely behind our interpretation of Section 230 platform immunity: By making itself an editor of content, such a provider forfeits any protections from being deemed a "publisher or speaker" under subsection 230 (c) (1), which properly applies only to a provider that merely provides a platform for content supplied by others.

More than 60 conservative leaders in volved in the Free Speech Alliance panned the announcement of Facebook's new content oversight board and offered this opinion of the proposed oversight board: When you announce your next 20 members, ensure that they will balance out the aggressively leftist tilt of this new venture your company has taken. Better yet: Get rid of the whole thing.

These articles may not be of interest to all readers of ConservativeHQ, but if you are involved in a conservative nonprofit, either full-time or part-time, as a Board Member, a volunteer, or you’re considering being involved with a nonprofit, or perhaps you’re a candidate for public office or volunteer for a candidate – then you will benefit from my conversations with Kevin Gentry.

These tips about writing a plan are intended to help those involved with a conservative nonprofit, but they apply equally to the business world. As you write the plan, things will come into focus.  You will realize you need to do more of X, less of Y, and once you’ve finalized your plan, share it with others.  Of course it’s permissible to alter or change the plan, but it’s vital to start any new, major undertaking with a written plan.

These tips will help those involved with a conservative nonprofit, as well as those who want to help the cause of liberty/freedom by their regular use of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, blogs, etc.  By so doing you will help re-elect President Trump, help take back the House, and help increase our numbers in the Senate.

"We don't fact-check political ads," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a recent speech. Facebook chooses not to play the role of speech police, at least as far as political ads are concerned. "As a principle, in a democracy, I believe people should decide what is credible, not tech companies," Zuckerberg said. It's an understatement to say Facebook has problems. It has abused its users' privacy. There are legitimate complaints about its bias. It has a frightening power over the world of journalism. It could face government antitrust action. The ad policy Zuckerberg outlined — if it is followed — would be the right thing to do.

The Free Speech Alliance (FSA), a coalition of conservative organizations and conservative leaders committed to protecting free speech online, surpassed 60 members yesterday. To sign your organization on as a coalition member, please submit your request through this contact form, and a member of the External Affairs team will be in touch ASAP.

The Internet Accountability Project (IAP), a new 501(c)(4) nonprofit advocacy organization, has been launched to oppose “Big Tech” and hold them accountable for their bad acts. Mike Davis, a former top Senate Judiciary Committee counsel who guided the Kavanaugh confirmation and Rachel Bovard, a conservative policy leader will head the new organization.

Not only did Facebook fail to get disinterested perspectives, they appear to have gone out of their way to find pro-abortion activists whose public opposition to pro-life views is indisputable. This is clear evidence of bias and discrimination against Live Action's over three million strong Facebook community members and an outrageous act of censorship on the part of Facebook.

The most disturbing attribute of a corporate social credit system is not that it’s invasive, but that it’s extralegal. Crimes are punished outside the legal system, which means no presumption of innocence, no legal representation, no judge, no jury, and often no appeal says tech and society commentator Mike Elgan.

Former Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl's long-awaited report on Facebook’s bias against conservatives was a complete white wash of Facebook's anti-conservative culture. It is becoming increasingly clear that legislation, such as Senator Josh Hawley’s (R-Mo.) Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act, is the only way to rein-in Big Tech and end social media's censorship of conservatives.

Demands by Hong Kong citizens for freedom and government accountability represent an existential threat to the system of social credit-imposed conformity that now undergirds Communist Chinese society. The United States must be prepared to confront the Communist Chinese strongly and firmly if and when the much-anticipated crackdown comes.

Google whistleblower Zachary Vorhies started collecting internal documents from the company because he saw something dark and nefarious going on with Google and he realized that they were going to not only tamper with the elections, but use that tampering with the elections to essentially overthrow the United States.

There’s no guarantee that just because the Democrats set themselves on fire on national TV Trump is going to walk away with an easy 2020 victory. The real secret to creating a Donald Trump landslide in 2020 is for conservatives to take the lead in nationalizing the 2019-2020 elections by BRANDING the Democrats using targeted direct marketing through new and alternative media, especially in battle ground states and key congressional districts.

The fact is internet platforms are more than just private companies. They’ve become like public utilities. We are just as dependent on Facebook and Google as on the local electric company. ConEdison can’t deny us service because of our political views. Facebook shouldn’t be allowed to either. Google, Facebook, Twitter, and others, though private sector companies — are the new public square. The biggest threat to a legitimate outcome in 2020 is not foreign interference. It’s left-leaning social media giants tilting the election by silencing viewpoints they don’t like. It’s already happening.

While constitutional liberty should protect the rights of association and religious liberty, granting businesses the right to determine who they will serve based on the customer’s ideas, political affiliation or viewpoint is the first step toward replacing constitutional liberty with an oppressive system of corporate social credit.
