Soros Censors

George Soros wants more censorship:
The letter, which was sent to executives at social media platforms including Discord, Google, Instagram, Meta, Pinterest, Reddit, Rumble, Snap, TikTok, Twitch, X, and YouTube, urges the companies to make “distinct interventions to keep online platforms safe and healthy in 2024.” The group asked the platforms to instate “election-integrity policies,” “swiftly enforce rules against election lies and hate in political advertising,” “require disclosure of AI-generated political content,” “place greater friction to reduce the visibility and easy distribution of election-related content that has been flagged and is awaiting review,” “hold influencer, public figure and political candidate accounts to the same moderation and enforcement standards as everyone else,” and “improve transparency and enable civil-society oversight of enforcement practices by regularly sharing virality and enforcement reports.” “The tech industry’s refusal to safeguard their platforms is already having a dangerous impact on democracies around the world,” said Free Press Senior Counsel and Director of Digital Justice and Civil Rights Nora Benavidez. MRC research revealed that Soros backs at least 45 of the letter’s signatories — with over $80 million spent between 2016 and 2022. “The document attempted to justify that it was written with reducing ‘real-world harms’ and ‘the rise of extremism and violent attempts to overthrow democratic governments’ in mind,” the conservative watchdog group’s associate editor, Joseph Vazquez, reported. “One of the wealthiest men in the world is using his vast wealth and power to silence regular Americans ahead of the 2024 election,” Dan Schneider, MRC’s Free Speech America vice president, told Fox Business on Wednesday.
