The suppression of statements or information for ideological reasons. It is ancient and global in origin in which the term ‘censor‘ can be traced to the office of censor established in Rome in 443 BC. The censor was the title of the Roman official who conducted the census and supervised public morality. Federal and state government officials, together with their cronies in the major media and tech giants such as Google Facebook Amazon, Twitter, and Microsoft, have ganged up to crush the upstart alternative media that are challenging (and have already surpassed, by some important metrics) the mainstream media Fake News monopoly that has protected and projected the globalist agenda for decades. Breitbart News, the Drudge Report, InfoWars, Natural News, and dozens of other Internet-based news providers have already been targeted and are feeling the impact of the corporate-government jack-booted heel on their jugulars.
A famous example in fiction is George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, in which the main character works as a civil servant in the department responsible for altering or destroying historical information which the government wishes to keep secret. The rationale behind political censorship is that the political party in power can protect itself from revolution if the public is kept uninformed.
There are hundreds of examples of Facebook censoring alternative news with investigative journalists exposing the lies of mainstream( fake news )media as well as conservative media. Facebook pays low-wage foreign workers to delete certain content based upon a censorship list. In March 2014, Facebook began censoring pro-gun speech on its social media site in partnership with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg who hates self-defense and the Second Amendment.
