Here’s What Trump Has Said He Plans To Do About Our Censorship Overlords
President-elect Donald Trump has a golden opportunity to crush the censorship regime that amassed a staggering amount of power during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Never before in America’s history has there been a Censorship Industrial Complex as vast and powerful as the one currently choking our First Amendment rights. Whether it’s the tech platforms themselves, such as Google and Facebook, targeting free speech and boosting left-wing agendas with shadowy algorithms, the Biden administration’s collusion with these platforms to shut down so-called “misinformation” about COVID-19 or the State Department’s Global Engagement Center collaborating with fact-checkers to crush conservative news outlets, the censorship overlords have gotten way out of control. Americans, both liberal and conservative, Democrat and Republican, are suffering for it.
Trump has a plan, however, which he laid out back in 2022. In the coming months, Republicans should hit the ground running and ensure that the president-elect’s proposals are implemented as soon as possible. With control of the House, the Senate and the Executive branch, the GOP has no excuse to drag its feet on an issue that is truly critical to the country’s future. It’s high time pro-censorship bureaucrats, Silicon Valley executives, and non-profit activists destroying our First Amendment are brought to heel. . .

The first step is for Trump to immediately go to war with the deep state by signing an executive order that reins in rogue bureaucrats and fires those who’ve already engaged in censorship, whether at DHS, the FBI or the DOJ:
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.
