Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, who handed out $400 million plus to local elections officials in 2020 to influence the presidential election and was rewarded with a Joe Biden victory, recently announced the assembly of a new software program: Threads.
It’s intended to compete with Elon Musk’s Twitter.
And he’s been promoting it as more “friendly” than Twitter, since that platform has a free-speech policy in which users are not guaranteed not to read something with which they disagree.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
But constitutional expert Jonathan Turley is explaining the new software program being touted as “friendly” actually is a new software program that censors speech.
He wrote, “Meta CEO Zuckerberg is continuing to market his new text-based app Threads with the pitch that he is ‘definitely focusing on kindness and making this a friendly place.’”
And an “eager media” is claiming the software is a “Twitter killer.”
“What is not discussed is what makes Threads ‘friendly.’ Zuckerberg appears to be promising the friendly confines of a censored site.”
Turley explained, “This is not just a cage fight between the two billionaires. Many are more interested in whether Zuckerberg can choke out free speech than in whether he can beat Musk.”
When Musk took over Twitter, he installed many guidelines allowing for free speech, which had been absent earlier. And there were those oppose to that installation of free speech.
Now, Turley explained, “Zuckerberg now promises a ‘sane’ alternative that will place consumers under the watchful eye of Meta censors.”
Zuckerberg’s censorship, in fact, kicked in the first day of operations, warning people against following Donald Trump Jr.

“It was a telling moment,” Turley said, even though Meta claimed it was an “error.”
Turley wrote, “This was clearly a pre-established warning system, to be used to flag accounts disfavored by the company. It was ‘an error’ that would likely not have been ‘fixed,’ if not for the objections voiced on the first day of the rollout.”
He noted Zuckerberg’s corporation “has long been accused of targeting conservatives and dissenting viewpoints. Indeed, Zuckerberg’s pitch for ‘sane’ management seemed like an appeal to those on the left who objected to the more tolerant free speech policies on Twitter after Musk’s purchase.”
He continued, “Threads’s rollout coincides with a court ruling that the government’s interventions to censor people on social media represented ‘the most massive attack against free speech in United States history.’ Now, Facebook is offering an alternative to Twitter, with the assurance that users will be protected against any thoughts that Meta’s staff finds problematic. While free speech on Twitter is portrayed as harmful, the company has promised to ‘prioritize kindness.’
“That sounds eerily familiar to some of us as a way to deprioritize free speech,” he wrote.
(Ed: I stayed away from Threads because I’ve come to realize that any platform owned by Zuckerberg will heavily censor any opinion to the right of Josef Stalin.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s hard to believe it’s really happening, but it is. Male athletes pretend to be females, dominate their sports, and are thereby rapidly destroying women’s competitive sports worldwide. Convicted male criminals suddenly claim to be transgender so they can be confined in a women’s prison and sexually abuse the female inmates there. Men claiming to be female likewise invade women’s locker rooms, bathrooms, schools, dormitories, sororities, shelters, spas and social organizations – and in the process steal women’s scholarships, advancement, honors and myriad other opportunities.
Meanwhile, transgender groomers and recruiters in schools and on social media platforms like TikTok are continually feeding and expanding the current “mass hysteria” craze that has already led countless teen girls to take testosterone and undergo double mastectomies in a pathetic effort to become boys. No wonder the CDC reports 3 in 5 teen girls say they feel “persistently sad or hopeless” and almost 1 in 3 say they have seriously considered committing suicide.
All of this on top of the radical left’s renewed obsession with killing women’s unborn babies via abortion.
The “woke” left’s maniacal attack on women and girls, virtually unreported by the rest of the media, is the entire focus of the sensational June issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE LEFT’S TOTAL WAR ON WOMEN.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
