Apparently, Jordan Peterson had a video banned from YouTube for allegedly doing… something. They are not very clear what that something is, but here’s Peterson telling you about the prohibition: I have now officially been accused of hate speech by YouTube, Let’s be clear about this: that is a direct accusation conduct deemed criminal in…
Attorney General Andrew Bailey is holding the federal government’s feet to the fire when it comes to them censoring social media and free speech. This thread is a doozy so we’ll let Bailey do the talking. Or would that be tweeting? Anyway, take a look: The federal government had a hard time convincing a judge…
As RedState’s Becca Lower reported, YouTube — after taking down tens of thousands of videos that it termed “misinformation” regarding the results of the 2020 election — is now doing an about-face. The Google-owned service, in an unsigned blog post Friday, tried to explain it this way: “In the current environment, we find that while…
Each time I sit down to write a piece asking you to sign up for our VIP Membership, I think of the guy asking for money and holding up a sign that says, “Why lie? I just want to buy a beer.” And no, I’m not asking you to sign up so editors can buy…
We will keep this as a quick update of our discussion of how Twitter suppressed Matt Walsh’s documentary ‘What is a woman,’ and probably the biggest news is this: It’s the movie they really don’t want you to see: #WhatIsAWoman? Watch the explosive documentary starring @MattWalshBlog FREE on Twitter for 24 hrs. pic.twitter.com/qDi7thCNid — Daily…
This is a breaking story, so the 24-hour rule applies: All reports within the first 24 hours are suspect. But we will strive to give you the most accurate information. All day today we have been talking about how Twitter interfered with plans to show Matt Walsh’s documentary ‘What is a Woman?’ discussing transgender ideology,…
Alex Berenson is a reporter who was suspended from Twitter due to his reporting on the ‘Unspecified virus of unknown origin’ (as The Critical Drinker (@TheCriticalDri2) liked to say to mock YouTube’s censorship regime). But Mr. Berenson successfully sued Twitter to get his account back, and today he is adding to the #TwitterFiles: #TwitterFiles @elonmusk…
Matt Taibbi introduced this latest turn in the Twitter files: TWITTER FILES EXTRA: by @NAffects, confirming (and expanding upon) a Monday report by “The Australian” about Covid censorship requests https://t.co/biM1HTtXFo — Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) May 23, 2023 So… here… we… go! 1.

Let’s start with something basic: Freedom of expression is absolutely essential to democratic or republican government. The syllogism works like this. If you have a right to vote freely, you have a right to have as informed a choice as possible. In order to make such an informed choice, you have to be able to…
As Twitchy readers know, Natalie Jean Beisner is an actress who WAS far-Left and woke until she figured out Democrats are a hot mess and walked away from it all. Seems she has some ‘words’ for liberals who think they have the right to play thought police with the issues and more specifically, who are…
So far, the United States has sent over $75 billion to Ukraine to fund its war effort against Russia. But this is not the only aid the U.S. government provides to the country as it struggles to repel the invasion. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is also lending its assistance to Ukraine to help…
This isn’t about an official ‘Twitter Files’ report, but it is very similar. Rebel News, a conservative-leaning, pro-free-expression news platform in Canada has obtained documents showing how the CBC used its money and cozy relationships with the Canadian government to try to force Twitter to censor its critics. You will recall that Elon Musk labelled…
About a year ago, Tucker Carlson wrote an opinion piece on the Fox News website complaining about big tech censorship: To quote from his piece: [T]he WHO’s latest finding — that the vaccine is not safe for children — threatens everything that reckless creeps like Zeke Emanuel and the pharmaceutical industry have been working for…….
Another Twitter Files exposé has dropped and while this one isn’t as salacious as past threads, it serves as a poignant button on a series that has blown the lid off the perverse partnership between Democrat operatives, the Biden administration, and pre-Elon Twitter. Since Trump’s 2016 win, the left has pursued a full-throated censorship agenda…
It’s little secret that American public opinion of China — from the U.S. business community to the general public — has sunk over the last few years. But many don’t know just how bad things have gotten. Last month, U.S. favorability toward China hit an all-time low, at 15%, according to a poll Gallup has…
As Twitchy readers know, AOC recently spoke with Jen ‘Circle Back’ Psaki about using government regulation to stifle the speech of people like Tucker Carlson, who she claims clearly engages in ‘incitement of violence’. What does this incitement to violence look like? Telling the public what liberals are doing. That’s it. That’s why she hates…
The satire site The Babylon Bee announced Wednesday that it is suing California Attorney General Rob Bonta over AB 587, a law passed in 2022 by the state legislature which, according to an email the Bee sent to supporters, “requires companies to give the California Attorney General’s Office regular reports regarding disinformation, misinformation, extremism, radicalization,…
You are beset by liars and these liars control the biggest stages the world has ever seen. These liars call themselves “journalists” but what they truly are is a rabble of activists with press passes. As I’ve spoken of before, mainstream media outlets aren’t above guiding the news in whatever way will make them the…
We’ve learned so much from the Twitter Files — and all of it has been extremely disturbing at best. But it’s important to keep in mind that the Biden administration and Democrats didn’t just have designs on policing Twitter; they wanted control over all of social media. That means Meta, aka Facebook, and Meta’s private…
Eric A. Sell is Associate Counsel and the Shillman Legal Fellow at the Center for American Liberty, a non-profit law firm dedicated to preserving free speech and civil liberties.

Earlier this month, Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz accused independent journalist Matt Taibbi of profiting off the “Twitter Files.” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) accuses Matt Taibbi of profiting from authoring the GOP’s “Twitter Files”: “After the ‘Twitter Files,’ your followers doubled … I imagine your Substack readership … increased significantly because of the work…
