President Joe Biden’s political opponents have been censored by Big Tech 162 times combined, as per a new report by the Media Research Center’s (MRC) database CensorTrack.org.
The organization confirmed that Republican Indian American presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was the most censored candidate with “18 confirmed cases of censorship for frequently questioning the climate agenda.”
Ramaswamy shared the report on X, with a comment that reads, “The most censored candidate – for the high crime of stating hard facts about the climate agenda.” Robert Kennedy Jr and Nikki Haley were second and third on the list with 17 and 14 confirmed cases of censorship. Meanwhile, President Biden was only censored 7 times, the report found.
The report states, every major Big Tech social media company including Google, YouTube, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok participated in the “election-interfering censorship” of Biden’s opponents, with Google being the “worst offender” as it censored every candidate except Biden, a total of 112 times.
Ramaswamy was censored Google and its video-sharing platform YouTube. LinkedIn censored the GOP candidate as well, with his opinion on climate change landing him in the most trouble, the report says.
Of all the tech giants, Google censored Ramaswamy the most. His campaign website did not reflect on the first page of search results, Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Bard left him off its list when MRC researchers asked it to rank the 2024 presidential candidates. Additionally, YouTube flagged 10 videos featuring Ramaswamy with context labels. It labelled eight of his videos about climate change as needing more context.
Microsoft-owned LinkedIn had temporarily suspended Ramaswamy’s account in May alleging that his statements on climate change and Biden’s climate policy contained “misleading or inaccurate information.” His account was reinstated after several media inquiries, Ramaswamy said in a post on X at the time.
“Now @LinkedIn (owned by @Microsoft) is trying to claim their decision to censor me was an ‘error’,” he posted on X. “Calling it an “error” now is totally dishonest. This wasn’t a technical glitch, it was an intentional act of censorship of my views on Biden, China, and climate change. Typical Big Tech behavior: trying to cover their tracks after egregious election interference. I challenge @SatyaNadella to publicly condemn LinkedIn’s censorship, or else this is just the beginning of 2024 election interference,” his post said.
