A concept first introduced by communications giant AT&T — calls for Congress to pass an “Internet Bill of Rights” (IBOR) — is gaining new converts as well as traction since it was first reported by Infowars in January.
“Initially, the concept met resistance among those suspicious that AT&T is a corporate giant that may have a profit or undisclosed agenda behind proposing and advocating the concept,” Infowars’ Jerome Corsi wrote earlier this week.
However, that “resistance largely melted away after” after an “intelligence agent known as QAnon” began to post on the deep-web board “8chan” that President Donald J. Trump was strongly supporting the idea, “resulting from his displeasure that Internet giant edge providers, including Google/YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, have intensified efforts to censor conservatives and libertarians off social media channels on the Internet,” Corsi continued.
It makes perfect sense that Trump and his administration would be concerned about the growing censorship of voices supportive of him by the social media giants. Everyone involved in modern political campaigns knows and understands that online access via social media is vital to spreading a candidate’s message.
Of course, the social media behemoths understand this as well; don’t think for a second that their censorship of pro-Trump voices and media isn’t also being done with the 2018 and 2020 elections in mind.
In a post on March 8, Corsi reported, AQnon appeared to credit Infowars for reporting on AT&T’s IBOR concept, noting: “You pushed the IBOR and immediately POTUS began to comment/take action re: social media.”
