Sara Carter: CPAC Theme ‘Awake not Woke’ Highlights Big Tech Hypocrisy
With conservatives warning of Big Tech firms like Twitter, Facebook and others cracking down their free speech, investigative journalist Sara Carter spoke to Fox News Digital at CPAC about the divide and why it is so important that Congress act to preserve the First Amendment.
Big Tech has allowed Russia to launch a viral campaign in the midst of the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.Carter added that actual criminal conduct is rightly restricted and should continue to be.
“It’s crazy. But that’s why CPAC-2022’s [theme] is ‘Awake Not Woke’, because people are starting to wake up and realize that these behemoth social media giants like Twitter, like Facebook” are censoring otherwise free speech, she said.
Carter noted that there has been a rise in alternative social media platforms of late – which include Rumble, Parler, and Donald Trump’s Truth Social – and that such competition is a good thing.
“I’m not saying we should censor Facebook. I’m not saying we should shut down Twitter. I’m saying that they need to do a better job at giving people a voice, and we’re not dumb. We can see what the truth is. We don’t need people babysitting us on the truth,” she said.

Judge orders Biden’s DHS to release files on agents accused of censoring election ‘misinformation’
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry made headway in countering federal agents involved in suppressing what liberal tech labeled “misinformation” on social media.
The Attorneys General moved to release testimony from five Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) employees after learning of their participation in the Biden administration’s counter-“disinformation” efforts. On Wednesday, a Louisiana judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release the files.
Court documents dated Jan. 19 show the agents participated. The judge’s motion Wednesday could shed light on a “switchboarding” tactic employed during the 2020 election, according to the order.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, which include the named individuals as well as President Joe Biden and top officials from a variety of federal agencies, “colluded and/or coerced social media companies to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content on social media platforms by labeling the content “dis-information,” “mis-information,” and “mal-formation.”
The Daily Caller reports that the five CISA employees allegedly served as a “switchboard” to route requests from federal agencies to censor disinformation to various social media companies, according to the documents.
Switchboard work employed “an audit official to identify something on social media they deemed to be disinformation aimed at their jurisdiction,” top CISA election security agent Brian Skully testified in a deposition released Thursday.
“They couldforward that to CISA and CISA would share that with the appropriate social mediacompanies.”
UPDATE: The judge granted our motion to compel. CISA has 14 days to comply. https://t.co/2bhwQQJTG6

The “””left””” uses the First Amendment to LIE WITHOUT SHAME to the public!
It is time for the Conservatives to throw those lies to the LUCIFER BRIGADE!
