Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie introduced a bill today to end the Biden Administration’s endless cashflow for developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for so-called “disinformation.”

The mere 83-word bill, H.R. 8519, lays out the House Republicans’ plan to defund the federal government’s online censorship research:

A BILL

To prohibit the obligation or expenditure of Federal funds for disinformation research grants, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. PROHIBITION.

No Federal funds may be obligated or expended by any Federal department or agency for the following:

(1) Disinformation research grants.

(2) Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace grants.

(3) Programs within the National Science Foundation’s Track F: Trust and Authenticity in Communications Systems.

The aforementioned NSF’s Track F program was identified as a threat to online free speech in a report by the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government in February 2024.

“As the distributor of multi-million-dollar grants, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is a key player in the ‘censorship industrial complex” acting “under the guise of combatting so-called misinformation,” read the report. “NSF has been funding AI-driven tools and other new technologies that can be used to censor or propagandize online speech.”

The ADL Gears Up for More Censorship with ‘White Supremacist’ Report

“In March 2021, NSF introduced Track F: Trust & Authenticity in CommunicationSystems, allocating $21 million to the program. For Track F, NSF solicited proposals to address the manipulation or ‘unanticipated negative effects’ of communication systems—a departure from the Convergence Accelerator program’s other, more concrete research topics.

“The euphemistic ‘trust and authenticity in communication systems,’ in fact, means combatting so-called ‘misinformation,’ i.e., censorship. In an early draft solicitation, NSF indicated that Track F projects will ‘address issues of trust and authenticity in communication systems, including predicting, preventing, detecting, correcting, and mitigating the spread of inaccurate information that harms people and society.’ As NSF’s Track F program manager, Michael Pozmantier, explained more plainly in a June 2021 email, Track F isthe NSF ‘Accelerator track focused on combatting mis/disinformation.’”

According to the Media Research Center, taxpayer-funded grants have been used to research and develop AI tools to monitor 750,000 blogs and media articles daily while mining data from social media platforms. The MRC said some of the stated reasons for such research are to lessen the responsibility of corporate tech platforms, “externalize” censorship, aid in adding needed or “true” context and action to enforce against misinformation.

Meta’s Instagram Now Blurs Nudity in Teens’ DMs https://nationalfile.com/metas-instagram-now-blurs-nudity-in-teens-dms/ Thu, 11 Apr 2024 19:27:46 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=68913 Last Updated on April 11, 2024

Meta’s Instagram is finally taking steps to minimize the unadulterated content sent to teens via its direct messaging system. Users under 18 will automatically see blurred images that contain nudity, Instagram announced Thursday just ahead of the upcoming presidential elections.

The company also encourages adult users to turn on the feature, reported The Hill. The initiative is intended to protect users from potential “sextortion” scammers, according to Instagram’s blog post. But still, the public doesn’t know how far of a reach this will extend, particularly in the political realm.

The update comes after Meta and other social media platforms faced pressure to put restrictions in place to protect teens who frequently used the platforms.

Sextortion scams entail persuading a person into sending explicit photos and then threatening them to make the photos public unless payment or favors are granted. It ranks among the highest concerns for parents on social media. Big Tech hopes to clamp down unironically right in time for the presidential elections.

Instagram will now blur explicit images and request consent when dealing with sextortion.

With the new update, nude photos will be blurred under a warning screen that states that the “photo may contain nudity” before the user decides to view it or not. According to The Hill, Instagram will also send users messages telling them “don’t feel pressured to respond,” with the option to block and/or report. Any user who tries to forward an explicit image will receive a message that urges them to reconsider.

After the Senate panel hearing in January over the risks these platforms pose to teens, Big Tech is feeling the pressure to crack down. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, along with the CEOs of Discord, Snap, X and TikTok, faced scrutiny from the panel and will probably amp up on such initiatives and possibly censorship.

The Hill reported that the House Energy and Commerce Committee is holding a hearing on Wednesday focusing on a group of bills aimed at protecting children online. The hearing will also include the unveiling of the comprehensive data privacy bill. Whether these bills overlap in some form with suppression or censorship is unknown, but it wouldn’t be too surprising.

With bipartisan support, the Senate Commerce Committee is expected to push forward these bills, reported The Hill. However, none have yet to be called to a floor vote.

NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist National Poll indicated most Americans were not on board with Israel’s response after the attack by Hamas.

The concern comes as support for Israel continues to plummet while establishment politicians scramble for the foreign lobby’s defense. There is also the upcoming presidential election. These bills may springboard a political defensive as Meta and Twitter did in the past with the Hunter Biden laptop story.

The ADL Gears Up for More Censorship with ‘White Supremacist’ Report

If Republicans keep an eye on America rather than Israel, they could spot the holes in these bills and also prep for the much-expected counteroffensive Democrat-backed platforms, such as Meta, will take.

X Bans Prominent Anti-Zionist Organization https://nationalfile.com/x-bans-prominent-anti-zionist-organization/ Sun, 11 Feb 2024 00:38:58 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=67051 Last Updated on February 10, 2024

In the wee hours of Saturday morning, X banned the account Defund Isreal Now, a non-governmental organization advocating for the Palestinian people against the ethno-imperialistic actions of Zionist Israel.

The nonprofit amassed a wide audience after the retaliation from Israel to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. Jewish NGOs, acting similarly to Defund Israel Now, have yet to receive any retribution. That may be due to the supposed rise in antisemitism on the platform, prompting Musk to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp, accompanied by Ben Shapiro.

The perceived rise in antisemitism can be attributed to the growing isolationist and nationalist movements across the globe, particularly within the US, as its citizens are expected to ally themselves with Israeli action. These “antisemitic” acts within the tally include anti-Zionist sentiments. The two terms have been conflated to garner protection to the ethno-religious philosophy.

Still, that will not stop Jewish nonprofits and billionaires from coming down on an individual as hard as possible.

Dr. Eli David of Deep Instinct, a data protection company based in Tel Aviv and New York, is a wealthy Jewish Zionist entrepreneur who has felt it within his respects to coerce the banning and censoring of all opposition. According to Notus, he is second-ranked, behind Elon Musk, as “founders building empires, one tweet at a time.”

David posts extensively on the war in Gaza from the Zionist perspective, but he has also made a point to eliminate any possible counter-information. Feb. 5, he wrote to X and its officials to remove Defund Israel Now. Less than five full days later, the anti-Zionist account was removed, for which he championed Elon’s continued steps towards censorship.

Just days before, Musk seemed to acknowledge these “canceling” schemes, announcing that any account that doxxes would be suspended. When the Jewish NGO, Canary Mission, doxxed the owner of Stop Zionist Hate, X did nothing, and Musk remained quiet.

Canary Mission posted a link revealing the identity of the person behind SZH.

At this point, it is evident how Musk will be handling his platform. It will seemingly take the principles of a “victim class” hierarchy, much like DEI, which the Zionist Jews have repeatedly complained about recently with the Harvard University “scandal.”

Understandably, not everyone will be happy with how the platform is maintained, but a recent post by an X’s Linda Yaccarino noted specifically special treatment when handling “hate speech” against Jewish people. The inclusion of such a policy originally came about in September amid #BanTheADL.  It has now been largely expanded upon after Musk’s expedition to the Auschwitz camp with Shapiro.

More bans and suppression are expected to come to X as the war in Israel rages on and America continues to pour nonexistent billions into the nation-state.

Musk Promises Suspensions for Doxxing, Except for Canary Mission

The best thing to do is lay low or lock your account, as many dissidents have decided to do. But as for Defund Israel Now, the NGO will continue “fighting Zionism for good” through The Anti Zionist League (AZL), which is a gold-check verified non-governmental organization on X.

Meta’s Facebook Lists ‘Voting Rights & Elections’ Position on LinkedIn https://nationalfile.com/metas-facebook-lists-voting-rights-elections-position-on-linkedin/ Fri, 19 Jan 2024 14:35:44 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=66267 Last Updated on January 19, 2024

Big Tech is at it again, setting its sights on the 2024 presidential election. Meta’s Facebook posted a job listing on LinkedIn for “voting rights & elections,” granting a reasonable suspicion after social media platforms censored the Hunter Biden laptop story just before the 2020 election.

The job description details a position under Meta’s Civil Rights Team with an expected “expertise in voting rights, elections, and democracy issues.”

The scope of the job will include research, analysis and communication strategy overseen by Roy Austin, VP and Deputy GC, CR, and Legal Manager, according to the original post on LinkedIn.

Meta’s Facebook posted a job listing on LinkedIn for “Voting Rights & Elections Lead.”

The listing goes on to detail Meta’s Civil Rights Team. It will act to “intersect with company policies and practices” to “address threats to voting rights, elections, and civic participation, primarily in the United States.” This would entail “research and analysis … of voting laws and civic participation, impacts of voter suppression and intimidation, particularly on historically marginalized communities, and current threats to elections and well-functioning democracy …”

Meta lists some examples of job duties, including:

  • Summarizing and communicating developments in voting rights and elections, and risks to voters and elections in the US 24 context.
  • Prepare memos and analyses as requested and agreed upon.
  • Collaborate with the Civil Rights Team to instill civil rights best practices on voting and elections within the company.
  • Contribute relevant voting rights and elections analysis, research, and content to documents and other resources.
  • Develop and support voting and elections priorities and strategic projects.
  • Support engagements with other voting and elections experts.
Reps. James Comer (R-KY) and Jim Jordon (R-OH) listen during a hearing before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Twitter’s role in censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story.

What is more intriguing is the minimum qualifications. Meta requires a JD for this software development position. That could be due to job listing regulations, but reading its mission statement may provide alternative insight.

At Meta, we have a responsibility to everyone who uses our services to amplify the good and mitigate the harm – to make sure that people are safe on Meta. Technology plays an enormous role in nearly every part of our lives, and it is important that it be used to overcome the historic discrimination which so many underrepresented groups have faced. Meta’s products and services serve communities all around the world. The question is no longer whether technology and social media play a role in elections and the civic ecosystem, but what forms they will take. The Civil Rights Team recognizes the potential to help increase voter participation and civic engagement, and to strengthen the values of equity, dignity, and safety as core to free expression and free and fair self-government. We also understand the elevated risk environment and the need to counter threats to voting and elections, particularly when targeted at systematically marginalized communities.

The move by Meta’s Facebook comes on the heels of another Big Tech announcement. According to The Jerusalem Post, X CTO Elon Musk will be visiting Auschwitz to lead a panel on antisemitism and the Holocaust. It will be hosted by the staunch Zionist Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire.

The Post stated that this discussion will be to “combat rising antisemitism in light of the war in Gaza.” Unironically, months before, during the #BanTheADL campaign, America First journalists reported on Shapiro being the springboard for Musk to censor anti-Zionists.

Townhall fired an America First reporter for exposing Zionists in an editorial about Ben Shapiro’s X space with Elon Musk.

Elon Musk, the richest man alive, has likely succumbed to the regime. The X platform will then likely adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism, which includes anti-Zionism. This will render any pro-Palestine talk off-limits.

At this point, finding a social media platform that doesn’t hinder free speech behind a political agenda is almost impossible. The Christian platform, Gab, is the only one to remain.

With Facebook taking an active approach to political chatter, X was seemingly the only platform left. But now, it will most likely resemble the latter in censorship and deboosting.

The lead-up to the 2024 presidential elections appears to be already saturated in the corporate agendaill-representative of the populace’s voice. This will likely be how the future of politics manifests as free speech continues to be in decline.

BlackRock Steve: FEC Records show Scalise Took Massive BlackRock Donations https://nationalfile.com/blackrock-steve-fec-records-show-scalise-took-massive-blackrock-donations/ Thu, 12 Oct 2023 15:02:49 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=63737 Last Updated on October 12, 2023

Loomer shared FEC records showing Steve Scalise took massive donations from both Google and Facebook. Worse, FEC records show Scalise has been accepting contributions from Blackrock. On Wednesday, National File asked Scalise if he would release the J6 tapes as speaker. Scalise refused to answer. Despite winning the GOP Conference Vote, Scalise currently does not have the votes to become speaker. This, as McCarthy 2.0, which is a reference to Scalise, trends on X.

Loomer posted FEC records showing Google LLC NetPAC and Facebook INC PAC making large donations to Scalise for Congress. Loomer captioned the photos, writing, ” I don’t want a Speaker of the House who takes money from Google and Facebook. We all know Big Tech worked with the FBI and the Democrat Party to steal the POTUS Election from President Trump in 2020. Here’s donations to @SteveScalise from both Google and Facebook. Not good!

Things get worse from there, FEC Records also show BlackRock Funds LLC Political Action Committee has been donating to Scalise since 2014. 2014 was the same year Scalise became House Majority Whip .

On Tuesday and Wednesday, National File asked Scalise if he would release the J6 tapes. Scalise ignored National File’s questions both times.

Matt Gaetz’s original list of demands for McCarthy to keep his speakership included releasing the J6 tapes. McCarthy failed to release the tapes so McCarthy lost his speakership.

McCarthy 2.0 has been trending on X. Clearly, the GOP base does not want Scalise to become America’s next Speaker of the House. This has caused a stalemate in the speaker selection process as GOP members of Congress are afraid to vote for Scalise on the floor publicly.

The House GOP is not expected to call for a floor vote until a candidate has the votes necessary to become speaker. Stay with National File for continuing coverage of the speaker’s race.

Report: Google to Ban Independent Media From Search Results https://nationalfile.com/report-google-to-ban-independent-media-from-search-results/ Mon, 21 Aug 2023 12:48:07 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=62468 Last Updated on August 21, 2023

Google has announced that it will ban independent media outlets like National File from its search results in just the latest attack by Big Tech on the free flow and exchange of information online and just ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election in which 45th President Trump and the American People appear poised to once again go toe-to-toe with the globalist power structure.

Earlier this month, Google announced that it is partnering with fellow globalists at the World Health Organization and the United Nations to seize control of the online flow of information and push their hand-selected viewpoints to the very top of the Google search engine while suppressing independent voices.

Among other things, Google’s algorithm will work to “delete websites” that question or criticize the COVID-19 narrative, international banking, FBI crime statistics, and globalism.

Google’s censorship campaign will also look to protect massive global corporations from criticism and scrutiny. Reportedly, included in Google’s list of forbidden topics is the massive amount of waste produced by pro-trans beer brewer Anheuser-Busch.

As has become the trend in recent years, Google is presenting its massive censorship effort as a form of “fact-checking.” Google appears to have released a long list of media “partners” from all over the world who will be promoted in the search results, as they espouse Google, WHO, and UN-approved talking points.

Google’s push to squash independent media outlets plugs right into other efforts by the Big Tech corporation and its partners to stifle the free flow of information online and corral the world’s population, specifically Americans and other Westerners, into a globalist echo chamber.

As National File previously reported, the World Economic Forum and the United Nations have entered into a partnership with Google and other Big Tech firms to crush independent research and advance the climate change hoax, plus the agenda for complete and total control that goes along with it.

Melissa Fleming, the United Nation’s Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications and an advisor to the World Economic Forum, claimed in an interview that globalist organizations “own the science” on so-called climate change and have “partnered with Google” to crush independent research and dissenting viewpoints.

“For example, if you Google ‘climate change,’ you will, at the top of your search, you will get all kinds of UN resources,” said Fleming last fall.

“We’re becoming much more proactive,” said Fleming. “You know, we own the science and we think that the world should know it.”

Team DeSantis Aligns With Big Tech https://nationalfile.com/team-desantis-aligns-with-big-tech/ Wed, 24 May 2023 20:22:04 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=60022 Last Updated on May 24, 2023

Journalist Medhi Hasan, who is no friend of the conservative movement, pointed out in a tweet that DeSantis’ presidential announcement on Twitter does not align with the populist image that DeSantis is attempting to sell to voters.  Christina Pushaw, who heads DeSantis’ communications, replied to Hasan’s tweet asking if “he’s cried about it.” Pushaw’s reply signals that Team DeSantis will continue to portray a populist image while at the same time supporting globalist policy. 

Mehdi Hasan tweeted, “DeSantis, the pretend populist who slams ‘Big Tech’ and ‘Silicon Valley elites’, will be launching his presidential campaign online with a Silicon Valley/Big Tech multibillionaire tomorrow evening.”

Christina Pushaw replied to Hasan’s tweet by writing, “Have you tried crying about it. That might help.”

Globalist Party: Ron DeSantis to Announce Presidential Run on Twitter Space with Elon Musk

Pushaw’s reply made no effort to show Republican voters that DeSantis is committed to holding big tech and other globalist factions accountable. Worse Pushaw’s reply singled Team DeSantis will continue to portray the Governor of Florida as a populist while embracing globalist ideas and policy behind the scenes. 

Christina Pushaw has had to register as a foreign agent due to her work with a Georgian Politician who is close to Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Pushaw’s writings on NewEurope.com show Ms. Pushaw is committed to getting the United States tangled up deeper in Eastern European Affairs that do not benefit American society as a whole. 

President Trump pointed out that DeSantis’ support comes from globalist writing on TruthSocial “A man named Ken Cuccinelli, who failed miserably in his run for Governor of Virginia and then in his running the Ted Cruz campaign against me, worked for the Trump Administration on the Border, but just was not as good as some of the other people I had working on Border Security – “THE BEST IN HISTORY.” He was going nowhere with us, so now he works for DeSanctimonious, at supposedly a big Globalist like salary, and rips “TRUMP” on Globalist FoxNews. Oh well, another one bites the dust!”

Trump also specifically pointed out globalist Fox Corp’s unfair treatment of him, writing, “I got 1.2 Million more votes in Florida than DeSanctus. Also, Bill Hemmer at FoxNews just used an old April Poll showing me leading by 51% to 25%. Why doesn’t Fox get a more up to date poll, 72% to 18%, with the other candidates much lower. Just like 2016!!! It’s why people are leaving FoxNews. P.S. Without me, DeSanctus would have lost the Primary and the General. Thank you President Trump!”

Elon Musk Cosplays as Creepy 3-Year-Old on Alt Twitter Account https://nationalfile.com/self-doxed-elon-musk-leaks-own-alt-account-pretending-to-be-three-years-old-with-racy-questions/ Tue, 25 Apr 2023 14:33:56 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=59472 Last Updated on April 25, 2023

In an evening post meant to highlight Twitter’s new monetization options, Elon Musk inadvertently included a photo of an alternate account on his Twitter menu in which the beleaguered billionaire pretends to be a three-year-old child with questions about “night clubs”, “Japanese women”, and other racy topics.

In the post, users quickly noticed an alternate account in the screenshot of Elon Musk’s Twitter menu and raced through social media to learn who it belonged to.

The account, doxxed by users who follow his page, innocently posted late Tuesday night, “I will finally turn 3 on May 4th!”

Elon does not have a child named “Ermn Musk,” so it is unclear which three-year-old, specifically, he is pretending to be. That said, his son, X AE A-XII Musk, does have a third birthday on May 4th, 2023.

Elon Twitter Account Alt

Further investigation of the comments, likes, and replies attached to the account revealed content not appropriate for a three-year-old.

In one interaction, the account responded to Michael Saylor’s tweet on Satoshi Nakamoto, the fabled inventor of Bitcoin with, “do you like Japanese girls?” The reply was, seemingly, posted without context.

Musk Alt Account

The replies to that comment, however, exploded with accusations that Elon secretly likes “Hentai” and references to a known polygamist, accused human trafficker, and recent convert to Islam, Andrew Tate.

In another comment, the account was found asking for nightclub recommendations and even declared, “I wish I was old enough to go to nightclubs.” Keeping with the three-year-old role play, he followed up, “They sound so fun!”

In a post, dating back to November of 2022, the account can be found responding to a “Porn Hub” meme, posted by Elon Musk’s primary user account.

In character as a three-year-old, he asked himself, “is this a real peon video?”

Elon Musk Twitter

Elon has previously come under fire for wearing a demonic suit of armor to a Halloween Galla with his mother. The suit of demonic armor has been his Twitter profile photo since October of 2022.

The account has since been made private.

Google Cuts 12,000 Jobs in Company’s Largest-Ever Round of Layoffs https://nationalfile.com/google-cuts-12000-jobs-in-companys-largest-ever-round-of-layoffs/ Fri, 20 Jan 2023 20:55:53 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=57943 Last Updated on January 20, 2023

Google has announced that it will be laying off 12,000 workers — roughly 6% of its current workforce — in another round of recent cuts at a major tech company. Google joins Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook parent company Meta in announcing mass layoffs in recent weeks. The companies have cited recent economic decline following post-pandemic boosts that led to increased hiring.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who also heads its parent company Alphabet, informed staff about the cuts in an email on Friday night. The email was later posted on the tech giant’s news blog.

“I have some difficult news to share. We’ve decided to reduce our workforce by approximately 12,000 roles. We’ve already sent a separate email to employees in the US who are affected,” Pichai wrote in the email.

“Over the past two years we’ve seen periods of dramatic growth. To match and fuel that growth, we hired for a different economic reality than the one we face today,” he went on to say.

“I am confident about the huge opportunity in front of us thanks to the strength of our mission, the value of our products and services, and our early investments in AI,” the email continued. “To fully capture it, we’ll need to make tough choices. So, we’ve undertaken a rigorous review across product areas and functions to ensure that our people and roles are aligned with our highest priorities as a company.”

According to the Associated Press, the latest cuts account for the company’s largest-ever round of layoffs.

The layoffs add to thousands of jobs lost in recent weeks at additional tech giants, including Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook parent company Meta.

Meta, like Google, laid off thousands of workers this past November in what amounted to the company’s largest single round of layoffs. The company also cited recent economic woes that followed a brief hiring and growth spree in the immediate aftermath of pandemic lockdowns being lifted.

POLL: 63% of Likely Voters Want Congressional Investigation of Big Tech-FBI Collusion https://nationalfile.com/poll-63-of-likely-voters-want-congressional-investigation-of-big-tech-fbi-collusion/ Thu, 29 Dec 2022 15:49:10 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=57433 Last Updated on December 29, 2022

A new Rasmussen Reports national survey found that nearly two-thirds of U.S. voters want to see Congressional investigations exploring collusion between federal law enforcement agencies and social media giants. The poll comes after Twitter CEO Elon Musk released a number of internal emails and other communications detailing the company’s censorship efforts.

Rasmussen found that 63% of likely U.S. voters believe that Congress should investigate whether the FBI was involved in censoring information on social media sites. Just 25% of respondents oppose such an investigation, while a further 15% remain undecided.

Dubbed the “Twitter Files,” the latest information drops detail coordination between Twitter and the federal government in order to combat misinformation. Former DOJ lawyer James Baker — who served as general counsel for the FBI and featured heavily in the Russian collusion hoax — was involved in a number of high-profile censorship decisions at Twitter. This includes censoring former President Trump’s account and suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story.

The Twitter Files are merely the latest news drops that detail collusion between the federal government and social media companies. An ongoing lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General and Senator-elect Eric Schmitt has produced documents showing that FBI and DHS officials would routinely meet with content moderation leaders from Twitter and Facebook, among several other companies.

Last week, U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan voiced “serious concerns about how and why tech companies suppress, silence, or reduce the reach of certain political speech and speakers.”

Jordan has emerged as a potential head of the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee in November.
