Facebook continues to censor Anti-Globalist Speech during Trump Administration

Facebooks new censorship tactics a major setback to the growing Anti-Globalist movement

Summary

Freedom of speech was not common before the American Revolution and the establishment of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Had it not been for Thomas Paine -- and his essay "Common Sense" -- we may have never declared our independence from Great Britain. A free marketplace of ideas is essential to making wise choices as both an individual and as a nation. And it was the suppression of free speech which led to the Covid mRNA shot that killed 17 million world wide. Those of us that tried to warn our fellow citizens were censored and suppressed by our government and Tech Platforms like Facebook and Youtube. We must fight to insure that never happens again.

The Past and Current State of Globalist Censorship of Free Speech

Whenever I think or discuss the topic of free speech I am always reminded by what George Washington once said:

"If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."

The censorship of Anti-globalist viewpoints has been going on for decades and has never been worse than it is today. Anything that targets the globalist agenda is being censored:

* questioning the forced vaccination agenda;
* calling for an end to mass immigration;
* criticizing the UN's Agenda21/Agenda2030/;
* criticizing the WHO's Pandemic Treaty;
* questioning the usefulness of masks, distancing and mRNA gene editing shots during the Plandemic, etc.

The UK is one of the worst, within the EU nations, arresting and imprisoning people for merely offending someone on social media.

=====
The police are making more than 30 arrests a day over offensive posts on social media and other platforms. The Times has the story. Thousands of people are being detained and questioned for sending messages that cause “annoyance”, “inconvenience” or “anxiety” to others via the internet, telephone or mail. Custody data obtained by The Times shows that officers are making about 12,000 arrests a year under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988. The acts make it illegal to cause distress by sending “grossly offensive” messages or sharing content of an “indecent, obscene or menacing character” on an electronic communications network. Officers from 37 police forces made 12,183 arrests in 2023, the equivalent of about 33 per day. This marks an almost 58 per cent rise in arrests since before the pandemic. In 2019, forces logged 7,734 detentions. The statistics have provoked criticism from civil liberties groups that the authorities are over-policing the internet and threatening free speech using “vague” communications laws.

Of course the primary focus, in the UK, is on the spreading Anti-immigrant sentiment after 3 young girls were stabbed to death in August 2024. And as I wrote, in my last essay, Anti-immigrant protests and riots are now breaking out across the entire EU.

=====
The first jail terms for encouraging unrest on social media have been handed down, as more people are sentenced over the wave of disorder and rioting. More than a dozen people were jailed on Friday for their part in the unrest sparked by the killing of three children in Southport last month (by a Rwandan immigrant). Among them were Tyler Kay, 26, and Jordan Parlour, 28, who were sentenced to 38 months and 20 months in prison respectively for stirring up racial hatred on social media. In all, 118 people have now been jailed for their involvement in some of the worst unrest the UK has seen in over a decade.

Germany is also persecuting citizens for exercising their right to free speech. In November, 2024, a blogger had his home raided for merely calling the Vice Chancellor an idiot.

=====
Yet another event in Germany has raised major concerns about freedom of speech. A 64-year-old pensioner from the Bavarian town of Bamberg found himself at the center of a legal storm after he posted a meme on social media that depicted pro-censorship Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck as a "Schwachkopf Professional" or "professional idiot." This action prompted a police raid on his home where his computer and phone were seized.

In 2022 the screws of online censorship began to tighten with the EU's adoption of the Digital Services Act.

=====
The Digital Services Act[1] (DSA) is an EU regulation adopted in 2022 that addresses illegal content, transparent advertising and disinformation. It updates the Electronic Commerce Directive 2000 in EU law,[2][3] and was proposed alongside the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The DSA applies to online platforms and intermediaries such as social networks, marketplaces, pornographic platforms,[4] and app stores.[5] Key requirements include disclosing to regulators how their algorithms work, providing users with explanations for content moderation decisions, and implementing stricter controls on targeted advertising. It also imposes specific rules on "very large" online platforms and search engines (those having more than 45 million monthly active users in the EU). . .

Nevertheless, the DSA's later stage inter-institutional negotiations, or trilogues, have been criticized as lacking transparency and equitable participation.[72] These criticisms mirror past experiences with the drafting of the EU Regulation on Preventing the Dissemination of Terrorist Content Online as well as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).[73] Swedish member of the European Parliament Jessica Stegrud argued that the DSA's focus on preventing the spread of disinformation and "harmful content" would undermine freedom of speech.[74] After the first round of the 2024 Romanian presidential election was invalidated due to reports allegedly showing Russian involvement on TikTok in favor of Călin Georgescu, an investigation was conducted to determine whether TikTok had breached the DSA

Authorities across the world continue to use the Ukrainian crisis as the backdrop against which to pass, in some cases unprecedented in the way they restrict or censor free speech, legislation regulating the digital industry. These trends are nothing new, but the current massive global crisis presents an excellent excuse to introduce draconian measures with little or no scrutiny or opposition. And so, in the EU, the Digital Services Act just got "enriched" by a new law that will allow the bloc to declare a state of emergency - on the internet. The law, referred to as a "crisis mechanism" is a part of the Act and got ushered into existence last Saturday. A state of emergency normally gives governments extraordinary powers and suspends normal laws and regulation in order to preserve lives and property - something that has thus far been used in case of war or natural disaster, i.e., those events affecting a country's physical security, economy, etc.

While European regulators polish their halos and crank out legislation faster than Brussels can subsidize cheese, Pavel Durov is out here playing the role of a digital heretic. In a French interview, the Telegram founder is sounding alarms over what he sees as a not-so-slow crawl toward speech control disguised as safety. The latest darling of the bureaucratic elite? The Digital Services Act is a piece of legislation that reads like it was written by a committee of risk-averse interns with a fetish for vague language and zero accountability. Durov isn’t whispering his concerns at think tank luncheons or lobbying dinners. He’s calling it what it is: an institutional greenlight for censorship. “Once you legitimize censorship, it’s difficult to go back,” he says, which probably makes him the least popular dinner guest in Brussels since anyone asked about eurozone debt. What makes this more than another libertarian tech rant is that Durov isn’t hypothesizing. He’s living it. Right now, he’s effectively stuck in France, being slow-roasted by criminal accusations that, according to him, are so flimsy they wouldn’t hold up in a Bluesky comment section.

Of course the primary reason for all of this is to stop the growing calls for Mass Deportations (e.g., Reimmigration) now raging throughout all EU nations. And for the record I have been warning about this Great Replacement -- predominantly by the influx of Fundamentalist Muslims -- for decades. Eva Vlaardingerbroek recently launched a fierce critique of the European Union’s immigration policy, accusing Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of pushing “open-border fanaticism” that threatens Europe’s cultural and demographic future. There is no doubt that her viewpoint is now shared by majorities in all EU nations. And I highly recommend you take time to listen to her entire speech.

Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek has launched a fierce critique of the European Union’s immigration policy, accusing Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of pushing “open-border fanaticism” that threatens Europe’s cultural and demographic future. In a fiery speech, Vlaardingerbroek defended the concept of re-migration and argued that EU treaties and human rights frameworks are being weaponized to dismantle national sovereignty. “Europe was never asked,” she said. “This demographic revolution is not a humanitarian project—it’s a political one.” Her remarks echo growing right-wing sentiment across the continent calling for the dismantling of supranational migration mechanisms and the restoration of native European identity.

Facebook has always been a gatekeeper for the Globalist Deep State

I was writing well before Facebook emerged in 2004. I signed up for Facebook in 2004 and have been using it, ever since to share my writings with both groups and individuals. It has been the primary platform for sharing my writings.

I began my writing in 1989 when I self published the magazine "New Age Patriot" which primarily focused on the Legalization of Marijuana (e.g., Cannabis). The magazine was used to organize the first annual international protests to push for Marijuana Legalization. I continued publishing this quarterly magazine until the Spring of 1997, shortly after Medical Marijuana was legalized in California. From 1999 to 2010 I wrote my essays on my website "New Age Citizen" where I wrote and helped organize various events to legalize Cannabis worldwide. From 2010 to 2021 I published my essays through Facebook Notes which was abruptly discontinued in 2021. And from June 2021 I have been publishing my writings on Substack which is an incredibly valuable platform. At some point I will be publishing my complete writings which comprise many thousands of pages. They will be distributed on a USB Thumb drive. More on that later.

At any rate I have always been opposed to globalization as it is a threat to both national and individual sovereignty. My efforts to legalize Cannabis was a blow to the globalist UN's international drug control conventions. And with the help of millions of activists, worldwide, we finally prevailed. In my state of Michigan we passed an initiative for Medical Marijuana in 2008 and another initiative in 2018 that allowed adults the right to grow outside in their yards. So you might say my efforts to legalize Cannabis was first victory against the globalists.

=====
The international drug control conventions, also known as the United Nations drug control conventions, are three related, non self-executing treaties that establish an international legal framework for drug control. They serve to maintain a classification system of controlled substances including psychoactive drugs and precursors, to ensure the regulated supply of those substances useful for medical and scientific purposes, and to prevent other uses. They act as the legal underpinning of the US-led global campaign against illicit drugs known as the war on drugs. Ratification is near universal among UN member countries. The treaties are the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961; amended in 1972), the Convention on Psychotropic Substances (1971), and the UN Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (1988). There are also other minor treaties addressing drugs, such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child or the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.

International drug control conventions, Wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_drug_control_conventions
=====
=====
The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961 (Single Convention, 1961 Convention, or C61) is an international treaty that controls activities (cultivation, production, supply, trade, transport) involving specific narcotic drugs and lays down a system of regulations (licenses, measures for treatment, research, etc.) for their medical and scientific uses, concluded under the auspices of the United Nations. The Convention also establishes the International Narcotics Control Board. The Single Convention was adopted in 1961[1] and amended in 1972.[2] As of 2022, the Single Convention as amended has been ratified by 186 countries.[3] The convention has since been supplemented by the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, which controls LSD, MDMA, and other psychoactive pharmaceuticals, and the 1988 United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances; the three conventions establish the legal framework for international drug control and the war on drugs.

The Single Convention created four Schedules of controlled substances and a process for adding new substances to the Schedules without amending the treaty. The Schedules were designed to have significantly stricter regulations than the two drug "Groups" established by predecessor treaties. For the first time, cannabis was added to the list of internationally controlled drugs. In fact, regulations on the cannabis plant – as well as the opium poppy, the coca bush, poppy straw and cannabis tops – were embedded in the text of the treaty, making it impossible to deregulate them through the normal Scheduling process. A 1962 issue of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs' Bulletin on Narcotics proudly announced that "after a definite transitional period, all non-medical use of narcotic drugs, such as opium smoking, opium eating, consumption of cannabis (hashish, marijuana) and chewing of coca leaves, will be outlawed everywhere. This is a goal which workers in international narcotics control all over the world have striven to achieve for half a century.

I have always been writing against the larger Globalist Agenda, including opposing efforts to subvert free speech. Around 2009 I became a activist/journalist opposing Smart Meters. In 2019 I began focusing on stopping 5G. In 2020 I wrote in opposition to the Plandemic lockdowns and the forced vaccination agenda. And I have been opposed to Open Borders policies as early as 2000. And I began using Facebook at its inception in 2004.

During the last 21 years I have been routinely censored by Facebook: enduring many 30 day suspensions and not being able to post articles. But it didn't get super crazy until 2019 when I started raising concerns about 5G. Of course both Smart Meters and 5G have become essential infrastructure for the globalist control grid. In 2019 I gave a 40 minute lecture on the dangers of 5G.

=====
On Tuesday (7/23/2019) I gave this 45 minute testimony, demanding a Stop to 5G and Smart Meters, before my city council. This is what needs to happen in every city around the world. Expose the insanity of 5G (Smart Meters, Smart Cities, Facial Recognition and a Global Surveillance State) before your government leaders. Go to your City Councils, Hand out literature, put up "Stop 5G/ Stop Smart Meter Lawn Signs. Spread the word about the dangers 5G poses to our Health, our Privacy and our Freedom. 5G and Smart Meters must be stopped along with the millimeter waves and the destruction of our Privacy and Freedom. We will not be guinea pigs in a global 5G radiation experiment. We will no longer allow the CIA-financed Big Tech Giants (Facebook, Google, Twitter etc.), the Telecoms or our Utilities to violate our 4th Amendment rights by tracking out movements and behavior like in some dystopian future that appears to be a combination of 1984 and Brave New World. We will no longer allow Rothschild's Crown Castle to move forward with either 5G or Smart Meters. It is time for every human on this planet to rise up and say "WE WILL NOT GUINEA PIGS IN THIS GLOBAL 5G LAB EXPERIMENT.

I was also a main contributor to Kuhles "Stop5G" Facebook group which had over 50,000 members when it was abruptly shut down. For about a year I was not even able to view the "Stop5G" group page -- something I didn't even know was possible. So someone really wanted to shut me up. The remaining question is who put Zuckerberg up to censoring me. Preventing me from even viewing a group was the most blatant thing done to me by Facebook. I don't think the group even exists today. The demise of "Stop 5G" was described in Witkowski's "The 5G Files."

=====
Abstract: The Enlightenment and its values, such as naturalism, rationalism, humanistic and cognitive optimism, faith in progress, criticism, empiricism, sensualism and utilitarianism, are coming under increasing fire from social and political movements. One strand of this attack is anti-science protest movements, for example against vaccination and fifth-generation telephony. This text is an attempt to consider whether anti-5G activity can be considered a politically radicalized movement, and if so, whether it is focused solely on one issue or part of a larger wave. The article shows the roots and content of conspiracy theories related to the fight against 5G, as well as the structure, goals, and activities of the Polish part of this movement.

"Today, Kühles runs several conspiracy sites against 5G, and is also on social media. His main Facebook group, “Stop5G,” was removed by the site when it had around 50,000 members. Its successor, “Stop5G Legal Resistance – Research Stop5G (dot) net,” currently has 33,200 members."

In April, 2021, Facebook suspended my own "Stop 5G" group during the second year of the Plandemic. You can still browse through the posts but no new posts are allowed. According to Facebook "Your group has been disabled because it didn’t follow our Community Standards." The reality is that my group was disabled for questioning the Plandemic, Open Borders and other Anti-Globalist viewpoints. It had about 4,000 members at the time it was disabled. More than likely it was Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI) who requested suspending the group. Two days before the suspension I had gone to her local office demanding that she stop supporting 5G. She was a big proponent of autonomous vehicles which are dependent on 5G. She is also responsible for legislation that will require all new cars to have "alcohol detection" systems beginning in 2026. Hopefully Trump rescinds this legislation because it is a major affront to privacy and will probably result in people not buying the cars. Just imagine the system detects a passenger's alcohol breath and disables the car in a dangerous area -- and then calls the local police. Absolutely insane.

At any rate I do think it was Congresswoman Debbie Dingell who called for the disabling of my group. You can still browse through the group in the link below. But you can no longer join the group or add any new posts.

Now if you are just a casual user of Facebook you probably got an occasional timeout. But if you are an activist you know very well how far Facebook will go to censor you. Facebook also shut down many large Facebook groups organizing against the lockdowns in 2020 and 2021.

How does Facebook Censor Free Speech

The two main tactics Facebook uses, to suppress free speech is 1) to prevent the posting of Anti-globalist articles, memes and videos and 2) to suppress the distribution through shadow banning and other mechanisms.

Here is an AI rundown of the ways that Facebook censors its users and groups. It is also using AI to censor posts which is far more efficient than using human moderators.

=====
Facebook uses a combination of automated systems and human moderators to censor content. These methods include algorithmic detection of policy violations, human review of flagged content, and the application of "shadow bans" or reduced distribution of content.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Algorithmic Detection:

Facebook employs machine learning systems to scan for violations of its Community Standards, including hate speech, violence, and misinformation.

These systems analyze text, images, and videos to identify potentially problematic content.

However, these systems are not perfect and can lead to mistakes, such as censoring content that shouldn't be.

2. Human Review:

Content flagged by algorithms or reported by users is often reviewed by human moderators.

These moderators are trained to interpret Facebook's Community Standards and make decisions about whether content violates those standards.

Facebook also uses human reviewers to address content that algorithms may miss or misinterpret.

3. "Shadow Bans" and Reduced Distribution:

Facebook may reduce the visibility of content or accounts without explicitly removing them, a practice sometimes referred to as "shadow banning".

This can involve limiting the reach of posts, hiding them from certain users, or making them less likely to be seen in search results.

Facebook uses this method to manage content that may not violate its strict policies but is still deemed undesirable.

4. Self-Censorship:

Users may also engage in self-censorship, modifying or refraining from posting content due to fear of repercussions or algorithmic detection.

This can involve censoring content, even if it does not violate Facebook's policies, due to concerns about how others might react or the potential impact on their reach.

5. Policy Enforcement:

Facebook's Community Standards outline what is and is not allowed on the platform.

Content that violates these standards can be removed, and users can face consequences such as account restrictions or bans.

However, Facebook's policies and enforcement can be controversial, with accusations of inconsistent application and bias.

In summary, Facebook employs a multi-layered approach to censorship, combining automated systems with human review, and sometimes resorting to less overt methods like "shadow bans." This process is constantly evolving and faces scrutiny regarding its effectiveness and fairness.

Google AI [what methods does facebook use to censor]
=====

Of all Facebooks censoring tools the most pernicious is what is called Shadow Banning.

=====
Shadow banning, also known as stealth banning, hell banning, ghost banning, and comment ghosting, is the practice of blocking or partially blocking a user or the user's content from some areas of an online community in such a way that the ban is not readily apparent to the user, regardless of whether the action is taken by an individual or an algorithm. For example, shadow-banned comments posted to a blog or media website would be visible to the sender, but not to other users accessing the site. The phrase "shadow banning" has a colloquial history and has undergone some evolution of usage. It originally applied to a deceptive sort of account suspension on web forums, where a person would appear to be able to post while actually having all of their content hidden from other users. In 2022, the term has come to apply to alternative measures, particularly visibility measures like delisting and downranking.[1] By partly concealing, or making a user's contributions invisible or less prominent to other members of the service, the hope may be that in the absence of reactions to their comments, the problematic or otherwise out-of-favour user will become bored or frustrated and leave the site, and that spammers and trolls will be discouraged[2] from continuing their unwanted behavior or creating new accounts.[3][4]

=====

And here is an how AI, specifically, is employed to censor Facebook users and groups.

=====
Yes, Facebook (now Meta) uses AI to identify and potentially censor posts that violate its community standards. This AI system is used to proactively scan for content that matches previously removed posts or violates their policies on things like hate speech, violence, and bullying.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

AI-powered content moderation:

Facebook has invested heavily in AI to automatically review and remove content.

Proactive detection:

The AI is designed to identify and remove potentially violating content before it's even seen by users.

Review by humans:

While AI is used for initial assessment, posts flagged by the AI are often referred to human moderators for further review and final decision, according to Annenberg School for Communication and WSJ.

Impact on content:

This AI-driven approach is claimed to have significantly reduced the prevalence of hate speech and other harmful content on the platform.

Ongoing development:

Facebook acknowledges that its AI technology is still under development and may make mistakes. They are constantly working to improve accuracy and reduce false positives (content incorrectly flagged) and false negatives (content that should be removed but isn't).

AI-generated content:

Meta also uses AI to detect and label AI-generated content to ensure transparency.

In essence, Facebook uses AI as a tool to assist in content moderation, with the goal of quickly removing violating content and maintaining a safer platform for its users. According to Meta Store, they are even working to reduce the number of mistakes made by the AI.

Google AI [does facebook use ai to censor posts]

It is also worth mentioning that Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have been using AI to censor posts since as early as 2018. It should also be obvious that AI is now being used in far more sophisticated ways than it was seven years ago.

Facebook's censorship of Anti-Globalist Speech

It is clear from the Wiki article below, "Censorship by Facebook," that what is most censored is anything that opposes the various planks of the globalist agenda:

* Anti-immigrant speech

* "Blasphemous" content

* Online News Act and the Canadian wildfires (e.g., Geoengineering)

* Competing social networks

* Conservative news (e.g., Anti-Globalist News)

* COVID-19 vaccines

* Criticism of Facebook

* Criticism of the Israeli government

* Criticism of the Chinese government

=====
Facebook has been involved in multiple controversies involving censorship of content, removing or omitting information from its services in order to comply with company policies, legal demands, and government censorship laws.

=====

No doubt I have been censored for all of these things, and more, over the years.

Facebooks new censorship tactics are a major setback to the growing Anti-Globalist movement

Right after I posted my last essay, on June 13 (2025) I noticed two new censorship tactics.

1) When I posted a link to my essay, the url for my essay, will just post as text. So in order to access my essay the recipient would have to cut/paste the url and then paste it into their browser. Previous to last week the url would always be active and clickable. So just clicking on the url would bring the essay up in another tab. Obviously displaying the url as just text is enough to deter most readers from accessing my essay.

Normal Post with clickable url

Censored Post with unclickable text url

2) For the last 20 years I have been able to post to as many groups, as I wish, without getting censored or suspended. This is important to me, and many publishers, as this is how we distribute our publications. Previous to last week I would normally post to over 40 groups in order to distribute my essays. Now I get restricted, for as much as a day, after just posting to 4 groups. The fifth post elicits a temporary suspension notice.

Tempory suspension notice after attempting 5th group post

These two new censorship tactics have been devastating for the distribution of my essays. In recent months a new essay will get read 1000-1500 times in just two to three days. My last essay took nearly ten days to reach 1000 reads. In the graph below I have placed star symbols over the publication date of a number of past essays. The second to last essay got a huge spike, towards the end, because Makow's website featured the essay on his website.

=====
June 12 - Digital ID is the Red Line
https://henrymakow.com/2025/06/june-12---digital-id-is-a-red-.html
=====

I indicate that with a "M" on the graph. So prior to publishing my last essay, the second to last essay got over 1000 additional reads within 2 days.

Now I am comfortable if each essay gets read 1000 times or more. But as you can see, in the graph below, the number of reads, for each essay, has significantly declined since I started publishing on Substack in June 2021.

Many of my early Substack essays got read over 7000 times. Today I'm lucky if an essay gets read 1500 times. Part of the problem may be the length of my essays, often 40-60 pages in length. Not everyone likes to read long essays. Another possibility is competing against other Substack publishers that have expanded exponentially since 2021. But these two new censoring tactics are devastating. And I have no way of knowing the extent to which I have been shadow banned since 2021.

At any rate these two new tactics could be devastating for Anti-Globalist publishers that use Facebook to distribute their essays. This in addition to the shadow banning of Anti-Globalist publishers that has been going on for years.

Frankly I think shadow banning may be the primary reason I can no longer get over 7,000 reads on a given essay. I’m now down to 1000-1500 reads per essay.

Why do I suspect shadow banning? When I used to post my essays to my Facebook feed I would get dozens of likes and responces. Today I consistently get ZERO. So today they probably aren’t shared with anyone. The second reason I suspect shadow banning, for the decrease in reads, is because during the period I got 7000+ reads per essay, my subscriber base was relatively small. So in the early days, of my Substack publishing, few reads came from my small subscriber base. The larger number of reads had to have come from distribution to Facebook groups. So shadow banning seems like the primary suspect to me. And since there is no transparency, with shadow banning, there is really no way to know what they are up to.

How AI could destroy Anti-Globalist publishers and publishers in general

I have always published my writings for free up till this point. But there are many writers who are paid in proportion to the number of clicks they get on a given article of essay. By click I mean someone clicks on the url and opens the essay. Each time the essay is opened the read counter is incremented. So about 6 months ago when you do a Google search there now appears a AI Overview at the top of the search. And what is happening is the person doing the Google search is happy with the AI Overview and then never bothers to click on any article. This has vastly reduced the Click-Through Rates (CTRs). The following article explains this in more detail.

=====
Google introduced AI Overviews—AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of search results. While designed to provide quick answers to users, these overviews have significantly impacted website traffic across various industries.

Understanding AI Overviews

AI Overviews are concise summaries generated by Google’s large language model. They appear prominently at the top of search results, offering quick, digestible responses pulled from reputable websites, structured data, and context-aware algorithms. The goal is to save users’ time by delivering the “best” answer without requiring a click. Unlike traditional search results that relied on blue links, AI Overviews repackage the internet’s information in a snapshot format, similar to how ChatGPT or Perplexity generates summaries. These summaries are often compiled from multiple websites, but rarely drive meaningful referral traffic because the key points are extracted and displayed immediately. AI Overviews appear in an increasing percentage of queries, especially informational ones. According to a March 2025 report from BrightEdge, AI Overviews now appear in over 35% of all U.S. Google desktop searches and are trending higher on mobile devices.

The Decline in Click-Through Rates (CTR)

The presence of AI Overviews has led to a noticeable drop in CTR for many websites:

Industry-Wide Traffic Reductions

The impact of AI Overviews varies across industries:

* Fashion, travel, DIY, and cooking websites have experienced declines in traffic, with some reporting up to a 70% drop. (source)

Zuckerberg's Facebook, the Master of Censorship and data collection

First lets recall the Judiciary hearing (August 2024) where Facebook's Zuckerberg, said in a letter to the House Judiciary committee on Monday, that his teams were “pressured” by the Biden White House to censor some content around the Covid-19 pandemic. This should be a cautionary tale illustrating the dangers of censorship. As a result, of this censorship campaign, few questioned the dangers of the mRNA "gene editing" shot and 17 million died worldwide -- from getting the shot and subsequent boosters. Had there been no censorship it is quite possible that WE THE PEOPLE would have risen up against Biden's Forced Vaccination agenda. Instead what happened was the largest and most dangerous human lab experiment in world history.

=====
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday admitted his company caved to Biden administration requests to censor content related to COVID-19. The admission came in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. Rep. Jordan in 2023 released “The Facebook Files,” a series of documents accusing the White House of waging a pressure campaign against Facebook and other major social media platforms to censor discourse about COVID-19. Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was among those affected by the censorship after expressing skepticism of vaccines via Instagram, according to the files. Internal Facebook emails acquired by the Wall Street Journal last year showed executives discussing potentially controlling users’ posts on the virus, which further fueled the accusations. The publication wrote Meta had “bowed” to the White House’s demands.

Zuckerberg admits Meta caved to Biden admin demands to censor COVID-related content (08/27/2024)

Mark Zuckerberg, chairman and CEO of the social media company Meta, said in a letter to the House Judiciary committee on Monday that his teams were “pressured” by the Biden White House to censor some content around the Covid-19 pandemic. “In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree,” Zuckerberg said. In his letter to the judiciary committee, Zuckerberg said the pressure he felt in 2021 was “wrong” and he came to “regret” that his company, the parent of Facebook and Instagram, was not more outspoken. Zuckerberg added that with the “benefit of hindsight and new information” there were decisions made in 2021 that wouldn’t be made today. “Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction – and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again,” Zuckerberg wrote. President Biden said in July of 2021 that social media platforms are “killing people” with misinformation surrounding the pandemic. Though Biden later walked back these comments, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said at the time that misinformation posted on social media was a “serious threat to public health.”

So at the hearing "Zuck the Fuck" promised he would never bow to pressure to censor again. But as I have just explained, he may not be censoring content but he is, most definitely, doing everything he can to minimize the distribution of Anti-Globalist media. And that is, in itself, a form of censorship. I'm sure that what has happened to me is happening to thousands and thousands of other Anti-Globalist journalists.

Beyond censorship, Facebook -- your iPhone, your laptop, your car etc. -- is being used to collect massive amounts of data on each of us. In the not so distant future your iPhone will probably know when you fart. In 2026 new cars are supposed to have sensors to monitor if someone has alcohol on their breath. Of course Facebook has been collecting massive amounts of data, on each user, since it came online in 2024. And I don't think it a coincidence that the day after DARPA's LifeLog was discontinued that Facebook came online. They were both intended to collect massive amounts of data on each user.

=====
DARPA's LifeLog program was intended to create a comprehensive digital database of an individual's life experiences, tracking various aspects such as interactions, activities, and communications. The program was announced in 2003 but faced significant criticism over privacy concerns and the potential for misuse of personal data. On February 4, 2004, the same day Facebook was launched, DARPA decided to cancel LifeLog. The cancellation has been interpreted in various ways. One significant factor was the backlash against the program, as many people were concerned about the implications of such extensive surveillance and data collection. With Facebook's launch, the landscape of social networking was evolving, and it became apparent that individuals were beginning to share much of their personal information voluntarily online, which might have made LifeLog seem redundant or overly intrusive. The timing of the cancellation led to speculation and conspiracy theories linking the two events, suggesting that Facebook represented a more acceptable, user-driven approach to sharing personal information compared to a government-run program. However, there is no direct evidence to suggest that the launch of Facebook influenced DARPA's decision to cancel LifeLog; rather, it appears to have been a culmination of privacy concerns and changing societal attitudes towards data sharing.

911 and the road to Global Slavery

Looking back it is easy to see how the Global Surveillance State evolved. But most of us could only see it in hindsight. When you got your first Smart Phone you were never suspicious that it would soon be tracking every step you'd take or every move you'd make. The same could be said about your laptop, your Smart TV, your car etc. Only in retrospect did it become clear.

Perhaps the most important milestone, in this journey, was 911 (09/11/2021). In 2003 the Total Information Awareness Program was launched ostensibly to locate potential terrorists.

=====
Total Information Awareness (TIA) was a mass detection program[clarification needed] by the United States Information Awareness Office. It operated under this title from February to May 2003 before being renamed Terrorism Information Awareness.[1][2] Based on the concept of predictive policing, TIA was meant to correlate detailed information about people in order to anticipate and prevent terrorist incidents before execution.[3] The program modeled specific information sets in the hunt for terrorists around the globe.[4] Admiral John Poindexter called it a "Manhattan Project for counter-terrorism".[5] According to Senator Ron Wyden, TIA was the "biggest surveillance program in the history of the United States".[6] Congress defunded the Information Awareness Office in late 2003 after media reports criticized the government for attempting to establish "Total Information Awareness" over all citizens.[7][8][9] Although the program was formally suspended, other government agencies later adopted some of its software with only superficial changes. TIA's core architecture continued development under the code name "Basketball". According to a 2012 New York Times article, TIA's legacy was "quietly thriving" at the National Security Agency (NSA).[10]

Then over the subsequent years Peter Thiel developed Palantir Technologies which coupled massive databases that could be queried by AI. As a database analyst this technology scares the shit out of me. While I think it should be used to deport Biden's Illegal Aliens and to find all those Iranian Terrorists Biden let in . . . I fear how it may eventually be used against all of us.

=====
Palantir Technologies Inc. is an American publicly traded company that specializes in software platforms[3] for big data analytics. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, it was founded by Peter Thiel,[4] Stephen Cohen,[5] Joe Lonsdale,[6] and Alex Karp[7] in 2003. The company has four main projects: Palantir Gotham, Palantir Foundry, Palantir Apollo, and Palantir AIP. Palantir Gotham is an intelligence and defense tool used by militaries and counter-terrorism analysts. Its customers have included the United States Intelligence Community (USIC) and United States Department of Defense.[8] Their software as a service (SaaS) is one of five offerings authorized for Mission Critical National Security Systems (IL5[9]) by the U.S. Department of Defense.[10][11] Palantir Foundry has been used for data integration and analysis by corporate clients such as Morgan Stanley, Merck KGaA, Airbus, Wejo, Lilium, PG&E and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.[12] Palantir Apollo is a platform to facilitate continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) across all environments.[13][14] Palantir's original clients were federal agencies of the USIC. It has since expanded its customer base to serve both international as well as state and local governments, and also to private companies.[15][16] The company has been criticized for its role in expanding government surveillance using artificial intelligence and facial recognition software.[17][18] Critics highlight that the company's contracts under the second Trump Administration that enabled the aggregation of sensitive data on Americans across administrative agencies are particularly problematic.[19][20]

And as I have written many times, the endgame is to relegate each human to nothing more than a slave on a global plantation. The only two remaining goals, for global enslavement, are a Digital ID and a Digital Currency. Once all these pieces are integrated we will become like China is like today: slaves under the control of an AI driven, digital social credit system. Don't want to get an injection? Don't want to stay within your 15 minute city? Well the government will just suspend your digital wallet and you can then either obey or die.
