Soros Money Pushing Big Tech To Purge Independent Media
Far-left billionaire George Soros is paying Big Tech giants tens
of millions of dollars to purge the internet of independent media
ahead of the midterm elections this November. According to
a new report from Newsbusters, Soros has paid at least $30 million
to Big Tech giants to "step up their censorship" against
non-mainstream outlets. Sources (

"The Soros-funded Leadership Conference on Civil and Human
Rights (LCCHR) spearheaded an Oct. 13 open letter signed by
11 other liberal groups pining for Big Tech to '[t]ake immediate
steps to curb the spread of voting disinformation in the midterms
and future elections and to help prevent the undermining of our
democracy,'" the report explained.
The letter complained about "online disinformation" bombarding
voters in an effort "to confuse, intimidate and harass" them.
The letters were sent to Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Google's
Sundar Pichai, Twitter's Parag Agrawal and others from YouTube,
TikTok, Snap and Instagram.
Recently, Zuckerberg admitted during an interview with podcaster
Joe Rogan that he was lobbied by the FBI in 2020 to suppress accurate
but damaging information about the Biden family, under the claim
it was "disinformation." The Facebook CEO did indeed suppress
negative information about the Biden family.
As Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell pointed out, "Soros
spent $30 million on groups trying to get Big Tech to censor
conservatives ahead of the midterms."
The letter even demands action against individual candidates,
charging, "[T]here is very little in your 2022 policies that reflects
the ongoing and new challenges facing us as the midterms approach.
Many of the bad actors and election deniers have continued and
stepped up their online spread of false information since 2020, and
some are even on the ballots for elected office in 2022. The policies
and actions by platforms must do more to specifically combat these
trends in 2022 and beyond."
Signatories to the letter are various leftwing groups, including the
NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Center for American Progress, Leadership
Conference on Civil and Human Rights and others.
The letter insisted that the Big Tech companies "continually and
consistently" enforce their requested censorship programs.
"Censorship before a U.S. election is not a new phenomenon," said the
Newsbusters report. "Big Media and Big Tech stole the 2020 election,
throwing it to President Joe Biden. A 2020 MRC poll found that
45 percent of Biden voters weren't fully aware of the New York Post
story exposing alleged corrupt dealings involving him and his son
Hunter precisely because Big Media and Big Tech whitewashed
it in the name of blocking so-called 'disinformation.'"
The report continued, "Had Americans been fully aware of the scandal,
the poll found, 9.4 percent of Biden voters would not have voted for
him. This shift would have flipped all six of the swing states Biden
won to former President Donald Trump, giving Trump a victorious
311 electoral votes and sealing a second presidential term."
