In a speech and policy initiative ignored by the major media, President-elect Donald Trump has outlined far-reaching legislation which prohibits government and Big Tech-run social media, an increasingly important avenue for the dissemination of news and information, from ‘censoring, limiting, categorizing, or impeding the lawful speech of American citizens.’

Trump announced his Free Speech Policy Initiative on December 15, 2022, to little notice by a media which was gleefully repeating Democratic accusations that he had “dictatorial” tendencies:

within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business, or person, to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the lawful speech of American citizens. I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as “mis-” or “dis-information”. And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship—directly or indirectly—whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are.

Trump called for Congress to:

enact new laws laying out clear criminal penalties for federal bureaucrats who partner with private entities to do an end-run around the Constitution and deprive Americans of their First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights.

Trump said:

when users of big online platforms have their content or accounts removed, throttled, shadow-banned, or otherwise restricted no matter what name they use, they should have the right to be informed that it’s happening, the right to a specific explanation of the reason why, and the right to a timely appeal.

In today’s Alice in Wonderland inverted political universe, examples abound of the Democratic Party showing precisely the dictatorial tendencies it accuses Trump off, such as when AOC called for more censorship this October.

This even though Democrats are the ones who have been caught in blatant lies, such as accusing Trump of saying that Neo-Nazis are “very fine people,” taking Trump’s words badly out of context. In Trump’s famous exchange with reporters after Charlottesville he said:

“they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides…

I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats – you had a lot of bad people in the other group too.”


Nevertheless, knowing the full context, media and Democratic politicians even now continue to repeat that Trump sympathizes with Nazis.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

President Donald J. Trump — Free Speech Policy Initiative

“If we don’t have FREE SPEECH, then we just don’t have a FREE COUNTRY. It’s as simple as that. If this most fundamental right is allowed to perish, then the rest of our rights and liberties will topple just like dominos one by one. They’ll go down.

That’s why today, I am announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship regime, and to reclaim the right to Free Speech for all Americans. And reclaim is a very important word in this case because they’ve taken it away.


In recent weeks, bombshell reports have confirmed that a sinister group of Deep State bureaucrats, Silicon Valley tyrants, left-wing activists, and depraved corporate news media have been conspiring to manipulate and silence the American People. They have collaborated to suppress vital information on everything from elections to public health.

The censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed — and it must happen immediately. And here is my plan:

FIRST, within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business, or person, to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the lawful speech of American citizens. I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as “mis-” or “dis-information”. And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship—directly or indirectly—whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are.

SECOND, I will order the Department of Justice to investigate all parties involved in the new online censorship regime, which is absolutely destructive and terrible, and to aggressively prosecute any and all crimes identified. These include possible violations of federal civil rights law, campaign finance laws, federal election law, securities law, and anti-trust laws, the Hatch Act and a host of other potential criminal, civil, regulatory, and constitutional offenses. To assist in these efforts, I am urging House Republicans to immediately send preservation letters — and we have to do this right now — to the Biden administration, the Biden campaign, and every Silicon Valley tech giant, ordering them not to destroy evidence of censorship.

THIRD, upon my inauguration as president, I will ask Congress to send a bill to my desk revising Section 230 to get big online platforms out of censorship business. From now on, digital platforms should only qualify for immunity protection under Section 230 if they meet high standards of neutrality, transparency, fairness, and non-discrimination. We should require these platforms to INCREASE their efforts to take down UNLAWFUL content, such as child exploitation and promoting hadoterrorism, while dramatically curtailing their power to arbitrarily restrict lawful speech.

FOURTH, we need to break up the entire toxic censorship industry that has arisen under the false guise of tackling so-called “mis-” and “dis-information.” The federal government should immediately stop funding all non-profits and academic programs that support this authoritarian project. If any U.S. university is discovered to have engaged in censorship activities or election interferences in the past—such as flagging social media content for removal [and] blacklisting—those universities should lose federal research dollars and federal student loan support for a period of five years, and maybe more. We should also enact new laws laying out clear criminal penalties for federal bureaucrats who partner with private entities to do an end-run around the Constitution and deprive Americans of their First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights. In other words, deprive them of their vote. And once you lose those elections and once you lose your borders like we have, you no longer have a country. Furthermore, to confront the problems of major platforms being infiltrated by legions of former Deep Staters and intelligence officials, there should be a 7-year cooling-off period before any employee of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI, DHS, or DOD is allowed to take a job at a company possessing vast quantities of U.S. user data.

FIFTH, the time has finally come for Congress to pass a digital Bill of Rights. This should include a right to digital due process—in other words, government officials should need a COURT ORDER to take down online content, not send information requests such as the FBI was sending to Twitter.

Furthermore, when users of big online platforms have their content or accounts removed, throttled, shadow-banned, or otherwise restricted no matter what name they use, they should have the right to be informed that it’s happening, the right to a specific explanation of the reason why, and the right to a timely appeal. In addition, all users over the age of 18 should have the right to opt-out of content moderation and curation entirely, and receive an unmanipulated stream of information if they so choose.

The fight for Free Speech is a matter of victory or death for America—and for the survival of Western Civilization itself. When I am President, this whole rotten system of censorship and information control will be ripped out of the system at large. There won’t be anything left.

By restoring free speech, we will begin to reclaim our democracy, and save our nation. Thank you, and God Bless America

Another disingenuous thread from the cult. WTF do you think Trump is going to say?

A free speech initiative in 2022? The press didn't have to pay attention because he wasn't president.

Members of his own administration saved us from him the last time. This time he won't have such people.

These are large distinguishing policies that differentiate both parties. Do citizens want less censorship or do they want free speech? You csn remain America or you can become Canada/Europe. Trump must also demand/encourage allies to follow in Americas footsteps. You dont need to engage in regime change around the globe but you should stand for civil liberties that force.governments to re-assess which side they are on. That is what made Reagsn a global icon cherished decades.later;.he stood up for all of humanity to be free.under.G-d. He gave them hope. The same.G-d who protected Trump in his time of need.

Please shut up. Republicans have censored anything that they don't like in this country and whined about censorship because people want to stop the lies they spread. You live in Canada, don't move to America but you want to lecture us on what we need to do. Reagan was a fuck up, his trickle down economics failed. God did not protect Trump. God has nothing to do with trump. America was deceived and will face punishment for making this choice.

No sane world leader wants to follow a convicted felon.

Good news for you brother. G-d willing,, if I sell my home we may be neighbours some day as I need real answers to my health. I have only one life so I will spend what is necessary to get these answers and get back to being the healthy man i once was. My health should have been addressed over two years ago but here I am for.reasons that betray me. That is how much more free you are than those of us living under an unaccountable security industrial complex. From the cradle to the grave, a vile abuse that Trunp is making unlawful in America. You should celebrate! Kiss the esrth you stand on in America!

It is within the rights of any social media platform company to restrict certain kinds of posts.

The First Amendment protects speech from government censorship. But what about free speech on social media?

Social media platforms are private companies and are not bound by the First Amendment. In fact, they have their own First Amendment rights. This means they can moderate the content people post on their websites without violating those users’ First Amendment rights. It also means that the government cannot tell social media sites how to moderate content. Many state laws to regulate how social media companies can moderate content have failed on First Amendment grounds.

Most sites also cannot, in most cases, be sued because of users’ posts due to Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act.

But given their significant role in public discourse, it’s important to know the most popular social media platforms’ policies for moderating users and content. How do they compare to each other and to the First Amendment’s values? Here's a deeper dive into free speech on social media.


Everyone, well some people, understands why trump has taken this position. It's because X, owned by Musk, has been turned in to a pro-fascism wasteland of lies that favor trump. And, since Don owns his own social media company, he wants to be able to tell lies on it with impunity.

God raises up and brings down all leaders and kings. This country will be judged severely for the millions of innocent, abortions, that it has committed. That's just one aspect.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

President Donald J. Trump — Free Speech Policy Initiative

“If we don’t have FREE SPEECH, then we just don’t have a FREE COUNTRY. It’s as simple as that. If this most fundamental right is allowed to perish, then the rest of our rights and liberties will topple just like dominos one by one. They’ll go down.

That’s why today, I am announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship regime, and to reclaim the right to Free Speech for all Americans. And reclaim is a very important word in this case because they’ve taken it away.


In recent weeks, bombshell reports have confirmed that a sinister group of Deep State bureaucrats, Silicon Valley tyrants, left-wing activists, and depraved corporate news media have been conspiring to manipulate and silence the American People. They have collaborated to suppress vital information on everything from elections to public health.

The censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed — and it must happen immediately. And here is my plan:

FIRST, within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business, or person, to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the lawful speech of American citizens. I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as “mis-” or “dis-information”. And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship—directly or indirectly—whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are.

SECOND, I will order the Department of Justice to investigate all parties involved in the new online censorship regime, which is absolutely destructive and terrible, and to aggressively prosecute any and all crimes identified. These include possible violations of federal civil rights law, campaign finance laws, federal election law, securities law, and anti-trust laws, the Hatch Act and a host of other potential criminal, civil, regulatory, and constitutional offenses. To assist in these efforts, I am urging House Republicans to immediately send preservation letters — and we have to do this right now — to the Biden administration, the Biden campaign, and every Silicon Valley tech giant, ordering them not to destroy evidence of censorship.

THIRD, upon my inauguration as president, I will ask Congress to send a bill to my desk revising Section 230 to get big online platforms out of censorship business. From now on, digital platforms should only qualify for immunity protection under Section 230 if they meet high standards of neutrality, transparency, fairness, and non-discrimination. We should require these platforms to INCREASE their efforts to take down UNLAWFUL content, such as child exploitation and promoting hadoterrorism, while dramatically curtailing their power to arbitrarily restrict lawful speech.

FOURTH, we need to break up the entire toxic censorship industry that has arisen under the false guise of tackling so-called “mis-” and “dis-information.” The federal government should immediately stop funding all non-profits and academic programs that support this authoritarian project. If any U.S. university is discovered to have engaged in censorship activities or election interferences in the past—such as flagging social media content for removal [and] blacklisting—those universities should lose federal research dollars and federal student loan support for a period of five years, and maybe more. We should also enact new laws laying out clear criminal penalties for federal bureaucrats who partner with private entities to do an end-run around the Constitution and deprive Americans of their First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights. In other words, deprive them of their vote. And once you lose those elections and once you lose your borders like we have, you no longer have a country. Furthermore, to confront the problems of major platforms being infiltrated by legions of former Deep Staters and intelligence officials, there should be a 7-year cooling-off period before any employee of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI, DHS, or DOD is allowed to take a job at a company possessing vast quantities of U.S. user data.

FIFTH, the time has finally come for Congress to pass a digital Bill of Rights. This should include a right to digital due process—in other words, government officials should need a COURT ORDER to take down online content, not send information requests such as the FBI was sending to Twitter.

Furthermore, when users of big online platforms have their content or accounts removed, throttled, shadow-banned, or otherwise restricted no matter what name they use, they should have the right to be informed that it’s happening, the right to a specific explanation of the reason why, and the right to a timely appeal.

And when a social media company colludes with the government to suppress speech in ways convenient to an administration, to the extent of having regular meetings to discuss how they're going to do it, they're just skirting the 1st Amendment.

Except it was the democrats colluding with private companies to censor political speech of their opposition. THAT is fascism, Trump has never done that, why would we, you guys are looney and entertaining. Our morality, pride and sense of intellect skyrocket when listening to a lefty.

Actually it's very easy to accomplish this. Any social media corporation that censors lawful speech will have its Section 230 liability protection yanked. They'll become the same as any news media.
 
It is within the rights of any social media platform company to restrict certain kinds of posts.

The First Amendment protects speech from government censorship. But what about free speech on social media?

Social media platforms are private companies and are not bound by the First Amendment. In fact, they have their own First Amendment rights. This means they can moderate the content people post on their websites without violating those users’ First Amendment rights. It also means that the government cannot tell social media sites how to moderate content. Many state laws to regulate how social media companies can moderate content have failed on First Amendment grounds.

Most sites also cannot, in most cases, be sued because of users’ posts due to Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act.

So government does not need to be involved.

So dictator to remove government censorship!
