CNN wins again, managing to successfully silence people who don’t
agree with their safe and effective death shots.

AP:

    Instagram and Facebook suspended Children’s Health Defense this
week after the anti-vaccine group led by Robert Kennedy Jr. repeatedly
violated rules prohibiting misinformation about COVID-19.

    A nonprofit, Children’s Health Defense is one of the most
influential anti-vaccine organizations active on social media, where
it has spread misleading claims about vaccines and other public health
measures designed to control the pandemic.

    The World Economic Forum this month published an article calling
for an online censorship system powered by a combination of artificial
and human intelligence that one critic suggested would “globalize” the
“search for wrongthink.”https://t.co/GCVVhfTC6t

    In a statement, Kennedy compared Facebook’s actions to government
censorship, even though Facebook is a private company that can set and
enforce its own rules about misinformation.

    “Facebook is acting here as a surrogate for the federal
government’s crusade to silence all criticism of draconian government
policies,” Kennedy said.

    Children’s Health Defense had hundreds of thousands of followers
at the time of the suspension, according to a statement from the
organization, which also noted that it has sued Facebook over its
moderation policies.

    Public health advocates and misinformation experts have criticized
Facebook for not acting more swiftly to contain potentially harmful
misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines.

    Karen Kornbluh, director of the Digital Innovation and Democracy
Initiative at the German Marshall Fund, said too many groups like
Children’s Health Defense have been allowed to flourish on social
media for too long. She noted that the group remains on Twitter.

    “Today’s step is too late and too little,” Kornbluh said, adding
that tech companies must address the reasons misinformation spreads so
readily on social media.

    …

    Several state affiliates of Children’s Health Defense remain on
Facebook and Instagram despite the ban of the national organization.
Kennedy was kicked off Instagram last year but continues to keep an
active account on Facebook.

That last bit is of course the AP itself demanding that more people be
banned for not supporting these safe and effective death shots.

People don’t understand: the media is behind the bannings. You can say
that the ADL, SPLC, and Twitter bluecheck trannies are the ones
provoking it, but they are only as relevant as the media makes them.
If instead of citing Jews, the media cited Daily Stormer as the
official judge of what is socially acceptable, society would look much
different. The media is in control, period.

The media wants a total monopoly on the narrative. At first, they were
destroying competition – like Daily Stormer – now they’re just
destroying anyone who disagrees with them about anything.

You can say “oh well, but Jews also run the media” – this is obviously
true, but when you look at the actual mechanics, it is the media doing
the censorship.

Journalists were all jealous of Andrew Anglin, because he is a better
writer and more popular. CNN is jealous Alex Jones was getting twice
the views on YouTube they were getting on cable TV. Now everyone in
the media is vaxed, so they are silencing vaxers.

Do you remember when the media said that Donald Trump was against the
First Amendment because he said they were lying?

    CHD’s lawsuit, one of the organization’s 50+ active lawsuits to
defend freedom of speech, medical freedom, truth, bodily autonomy and
children’s health, is pending a 9th Circuit decision. #BigTech
