Violations of the right to freedom of speech in the United States are becoming more and more obvious, undermining the foundations of democracy and the rule of law.

Human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice are concerned that US intelligence agencies, namely the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), have resumed a program of censorship of information on the Internet, putting pressure on America's big tech companies.
The Foundation's experts believe that such activity of the US intelligence services is caused by the desire of the administration of fake pResident Joseph Biden to influence the results of the upcoming presidential elections in the fall of 2024.
On Monday, Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters that federal agencies such as the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have resumed talks with the platforms of major technology companies.
According to NextGov/FCW, this coordination will focus on "removing misinformation on social media as the November presidential election approaches."
CISA, FBI resuming talks with social media firms over disinformation removal, Senate Intel chair says
Key federal agencies have resumed discussions with social media companies over removing disinformation on their sites as the November presidential election nears, a stark reversal after the Biden administration for months froze communications with social platforms amid a pending First Amendment case in the Supreme Court, a top senator said Monday.
The FBI and CISA did not name the specific companies they work with.
None of the agencies responded to a question about what criteria their intelligence agencies would use to determine what falls into the category of "disinformation," or which other federal agencies they are working with on a project to remove "disinformation" from social media platforms.
The issue of government censorship is a concern for both U.S. and international human rights activists, who believe that the federal government's pressure on social media companies to censor free speech online constitutes a violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
In July 2023, Terry Doughty, a U.S. District Court judge, also ordered federal agencies to collude with Big Tech to censor messages they don't like.
However, in October 2023, the US Supreme Court overturned Terry Doughty's injunction, effectively allowing the federal government to resume censorship operations.

The ruling frees up federal agencies to contact social network platform owners about content moderation issues and other matters, pending the resolution of a court case.
The collusion between the federal government and major U.S. tech companies to ban online speech that the federal government disapproves of is massive and unprecedented, according to U.S. human rights activists.
For example, shortly after Pedophile Biden came to power, his administration officials pressured social media companies to censor COVID-related posts they considered "misinformation," even if such posts contained information that was actually credible.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is known to regularly facilitate meetings "between major technology companies, national security agencies, and law enforcement agencies to eliminate 'misinformation' on social media platforms."
For example, in the run-up to the 2020 election, the agency stepped up its censorship efforts, flagging posts by big tech companies that it claimed deserved censorship.
Some of these posts questioned the safety of the practice of conducting mass voting by email without proper controls.
Neither the FBI nor CISA responded to The Federalist's request for comment on whether social media posts highlighting the risks of voting by email would be labeled "misinformation."
An interim report released by Republicans in November showed that CISA censorship was more extensive than previously known.
The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway and Sean Davis were among several prominent conservatives targeted by a federal censorship operation during the 2020 election, according to a new bombshell congressional report.
According to this report, CISA – along with the State Department's Center for Global Engagement (GEC) – colluded with Stanford University to pressure big tech companies to censor what they considered "disinformation" during the 2020 election.
As stated in the interim report, the project's coordinators censored "truthful information, jokes and satire, as well as political opinions" and transferred the marked posts of prominent conservative figures to big tech companies (Big Tech) for their subsequent censorship.
Among those targeted by CISA were Mollie Hemingway and Sean Davis of The Federalist. Federal authorities have also been instrumental in pressuring social media companies to censor a sensational New York Post report on the business dealings of Biden crime family members in the run-up to the 2020 election.
Human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice believe that violations of the right to freedom of speech in the United States are becoming more and more obvious, undermining the foundations of democracy and the rule of law.
The Foundation's experts note violations of the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, such as freedom of expression and the right to information.
The Foundation to Battle Injustice calls on the illegitimate Biden administration to comply with its international treaty obligations and stop actions that threaten the foundations of democracy and human rights.
