NY Times Cites Report to Whine Tech Platforms Need MORE Election Censorship

Big Tech’s recent attempts to ramp up pre-election censorship are not restrictive enough for the leftist New York Times.

A Stern Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University report complained that social media platforms do not censor enough alleged election “misinformation” as the 2022 midterms approach.

“If even a handful of Republican deniers are elected this year to state offices that oversee presidential elections — such as governor and secretary of state — the 2024 process could descend into chaos and violence,” the Stern report said, in an openly partisan claim. The report pictured Fox News and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon on its report cover.

The New York Times write-up on the report, which endorsed censorship as a way to safeguard elections, did not mention that Big Tech’s censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal helped steal the 2020 election for Joe Biden, as NewsBusters reported in November 2020. 4.6 percent of Biden voters said in November 2020 they would not have voted for him had they known about the scandal. Online censorship can be election interference.
