White House And Dark Money NGO Hype Hate Crisis To Demand Censorship
Hate and antisemitism are sharply increasing, say the Biden administration, journalists, NGOs, and the FBI. Groups like the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a British nonprofit, claim that censorship is the only way to combat this crisis.
In July, Biden announced a new agenda to fight rising antisemitism, which includes enforcing more censorship of hate speech. The White House is now [calling] on Congress to hold social media platforms accountable for spreading hate-fueled violence.
The CCDH has successfully pressured advertisers into boycotting Twitter (now called X) in an effort to force the company into restoring the content moderation policies it had in place before Elon Musk purchased it. In a report published on June 1, the CCDH found that Twitter fails to act on 99% of hate posted by Twitter Blue subscribers. Since the CCDH started its pro-censorship campaign, Twitter/X has lost 60-70% of its total advertising revenue.
