Here’s What Trump Has Said He Plans To Do About Our Censorship Overlords

One of the biggest consequences of President Trump’s reelection will be the immediate impact of government censorship. For the past four years, the Harris-Biden administration has paid off or threatened news media outlets allowing free speech. Several government agencies were involved in robbing the American people from expressing their views as guaranteed by the US Constitution. They include the DHS, the FBI, and the DOJ. All because they could not censor the election.

Trump explains:

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.

President Trump says he will mobilize the DOJ to go after those who broke laws during the Harris-Biden reign of terror:

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.

Trump also wants Congress  to revise Section 230 that will limit social media and platforms protection against law suits:

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 terrorism, while dramatically curtailing their power to arbitrarily restrict lawful speech.

President Trump is also taking a stand against government funding for non-profits, universities, or academic programs that limit free speech.

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.

From The Daily Caller

It’s time Americans recognize that speech in the digital public square is as real as speech in the physical one. Airing your grievances in a public Facebook group is no different than assembling on a street corner. A digital bill of rights is bold, but it’s necessary for the 21st Century:

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.

If Republicans and executive appointees wield the Trump mandate wisely and efficiently, they can do some serious damage to the Censorship Industrial Complex, if not destroy it for good. America is facing many problems, domestically and abroad, but protecting free speech here at home should be priority number one. Without free speech, you can’t even begin to have an honest and fair debate about how to fix the immigration system or how to deal with China. Trump has a plan to restore it. Now, his administration and GOP lawmakers need to execute.
