Though they will of course claim otherwise, the obvious goals of these left-wing tech companiesisboth to make my father a one-term president and to ensure Democrat control of Congress moving forward, Trump Jr. said.

They're willing to engage in blatant election interference to make those dreams a reality.

Trump Jr., the president's oldest son, added that companies such as Facebook and Twitter hold immense power in our Republic and the GOP needs totake action.

It's long past due for elected Republicans to finally take seriously the threats that these near-monopolies pose to our inalienable rights and hold them accountable legislatively for their abuses, Trump Jr. told the MRC.

BIDEN TALKS TO CARDI B AS PRESSURE MOUNTS TO FACE TOUGH QUESTIONS FROM REPORTERS

The MRCsTechWatchdivision has collected and independently verified incidents ofcensorshipsince March 2020 and found that260 users had posts or accounts censored due to their criticisms of Biden, with 129 of the incidentscomingon Facebook and 131 coming from Twitter.

Posting an innocent meme showing light coming from Bidens eyes meant an immediate suspension on Twitter for anywhere between 12 hours and two months. Facebook users who argued that Biden was creepy or posted actual pictures of the former vice president hugging, sniffing, or kissing children have had their posts removed as well, MRCanalystsCorinne Weaver and Heather Moon wrote.

Former editor of Psychology TodayDr. Robert Epstein told Weaver and Moon that its absolutely election interference and the censorshipcould be considered a valuable, undeclared, in-kind contribution to a political campaign, which is unlawful.

Facebook and Twitter did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The study found that the 129 instances of censorship on Facebook includedvideo of a stammering Biden accidentally endorsing Trump and a collage of photos that depict Biden sniffing, hugging, or kissing young girls has been censored on a regular basis,Weaver and Moon wrote.

Meanwhile, Twitters 131 examples of censorship include a crackdown on memesthat mock Bidens health and fitness for office.

Facebook and Twitter openly deny working with Biden. Yet the platforms appear to cover for him,Weaver and Moon wrote. Actions speak louder than words. Both social media platforms are using their algorithms to muffle negative statements or jokes about Biden.
