No Free Speech for Text Messages?

A Politico report on Monday revealed that Biden-allied groups, including the Democratic National Committee, are working with SMS (text message) carriers to stop the sending of alleged misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines, opening a new level of intrusion against American free speech rights.

“We are steadfastly committed to keeping politics out of the effort to get every American vaccinated so that we can save lives and help our economy further recover,” White House spokesperson Kevin Munoz said, according to the report.

“When we see deliberate efforts to spread misinformation, we view that as an impediment to the country’s public health and will not shy away from calling that out,” he added.

The new effort is frightening to consider. Remember when Facebook and other social media providers began labelling and removing posts with information it deemed “misinformation” about COVID-19? Many likely switched to texting their friends, believing the format was more private and safe from censorship.

That may not be true much longer. If Biden’s buddies get their wish, Americans could see similar tactics applied to their text messages. You may no longer be able to text your vaccine concerns to friends and family without a warning label or the text message being blocked.

Why is the Biden administration pushing this? According to the report, it is “becoming more difficult to convince vaccine-skeptics to get their shots.” The good old American free-speech perspective would be, “Who cares? It’s a free country.”

But apparently not if you’re a Democrat. Instead of freedom of speech, it’s limitation of speech. Your freedom to speak ends when the Left says it does. Doesn’t sound very much like freedom, does it?

At Trump rallies, you often see the former president enter to the Lee Greenwood song that says, “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free.” The lyrics resonate with those who cherish the liberties we have in our great nation. But we can no longer take our First Amendment rights for granted.

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s clear the left will use power grab opportunities to take away freedom for its own benefit. Time and time again, lockdowns have benefitted leftist teachers’ unions, Democrat politicians and progressive initiatives over what truly helps Americans.

An interesting contrast can be observed in comparing Republican and Democratic views of the vaccine. Trump rushed to have vaccines developed, but has always declared they are voluntary. He has even said he is against kids taking the vaccine.

In contrast, Democrats did not take the lead in developing the vaccines, yet have tried to take credit for its success and “force” people to take it through various incentives and rules.

The text message intrusion is an important one. Social media companies at least have the excuse that they are privately held companies. Cell phone providers like AT&T and Verizon are public utilities. They are not controlled like a private company. If the government can limit speech with our phone companies, what will be left? Let your elected leaders know you will not stand for the Biden administration’s plans to censor text messages.

  1. we republicans had better be paying attention and get to the polls in the mid term and turn this communistic government around or our children and grandchildren will pay the price in more ways than one! communism and socialism has NEVER worked! only for the corrupt governments. look at Venezuela it took only ten years to change it from second to only America in economy etc. to what it is now. a hell hole where people suffer terribly. I have a friend who escaped from there and she tells me she is very worried about America and that the conditions there are much worse than people know. in fact when her friend had a baby the husband had to go out of the hospital , very poorly equipped, and find a piece of paper and pencil or pen so the doctor could write a birth certificate.! The food and medical supplies are very scarce, which any research will show………………….think about it, is that what you want for your families?

  2. WE ARE DEALING WITH A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, WHO WAS ALLOWED BY THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND TO FRAUDULENTLY STEAL, AND ADMITTEDLY BY THE SITTING ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT (AND, ON NATIONAL TV !!) TO INDEED STEAL THE HIGHEST POSITION IN WHAT WE DESIRE TO CONTINUE TO BE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SOON TO BE CALLED THE UNITED SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA ! ! !

    THIS IS GETTING US, YET AGAIN, ONE STOP CLOSER TO A CIVIL WAR BEFORE IT IS ALL SAID AND DONE — THAT WILL THEN ESCALATE INTO WORLD WAR III — NOT MY DESIRE, BUT IT IS SO HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION BECAUSE THOSE, WHO COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO STOP THE COMMUNISTS FROM TAKING OVER OUR LIVES AND OUR COUNTRY, ARE SPINELESS, IMMATURE ‘SCAREDY CATS’ AND THE LIKES OF WHICH HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN BOUGHT BY THOSE WHO CLAIM POWER THAT THEY DO NOT RIGHTLY POSSESS. GOD IS GIVING ALL OF THEM ENOUGH ROPE ON WHICH TO HANG THEMSELVES AND I PRAY THAT HIS TIMING IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER IN GIVING THEM WHAT THEY RIGHTLY DESERVE. SINCE BEFORE OBAMA GOT AWAY WITH HIS LIES AND TAKING OVER THE WHITE HOUSE, THE LEFTISTS HAVE BEEN MANIPULATING AND CONNIVING ALL AROUND THE WORLD TO UNLAWFULLY REACH THE GOALS THEY HAVE ATTAINED — THE PROOF IS OUT THERE BUT SCOTUS, TURNING THEIR HEADS, IGNORING THE FACTS, AND PRETENDING IT ISN’T THERE IS ALL THEY HAVE DONE. THE LEFTISTS MAY HAVE WON THEIR BATTLES, BUT THEY HAVE —- NOT WON THE WAR —- GOD, AND ONLY GOD, HAS THAT ULTIMATE POWER ! ! ! PRAYING THAT ALL THOSE ON CAPITOL HILL WILL STOP AND REALIZE THAT HONEST TRUTH BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, BY GIVING THEIR LIVES TO HIM AND SERVE HIM, RATHER THAN SERVING THEMSELVES ! ! !
