Social Media and Censorship
Imagine the resolute Ethnic American founders—free White persons of good moral character, as enshrined in the Naturalization Act of 1790—gathering in secret rooms amid the powder-keg tensions of colonial Philadelphia, risking life and fortune to pen grievances against a distant king who silenced their voices through edicts and spies. Their words, etched in ink on parchment, sparked a revolution that birthed a republic where free speech was the cornerstone of liberty, allowing our ancestors to rally at Saratoga, endure the frontier homesteads of the Ohio Valley, and later build the steel mills of Pittsburgh without fear of royal censors. Contrast that sacred covenant with today’s digital tyranny: faceless algorithms, controlled by foreign-owned platforms and immigrant-staffed moderation teams, shadow-banning Ethnic American voices who dare defend their heritage while amplifying a cacophony of anti-White narratives that erode our posterity’s inheritance. This is no mere inconvenience—it’s a calculated dispossession, turning the public square our forefathers fought for into a rigged arena where truth is throttled and lies flourish unchecked.
As an Ethnic American, tracing my lineage to those European pioneers who crossed storm-tossed seas to forge a nation for their descendants, I write this installment with the same urgency that drove Patrick Henry to declare “Give me liberty or give me death.” In this series, we’ve chronicled the multifaceted assault on our people—from the theft of small businesses in Part I to the pharmaceutical poisoning in Part XXII. Now, here in Part XXVIII, we confront Digital Dispossession: how social media platforms, through censorship, banning, and shadow banning, amplify narratives that vilify Ethnic Americans while silencing our advocacy for borders, heritage, and continuity. This fits the broader series as the virtual extension of physical displacement, where our voices are erased from the digital commons just as our communities are overrun. Not everyone traces to 1776; later qualifying Europeans, bound by the 1790 Act’s spirit, are equally Ethnic American. But today, platforms like TikTok, Meta, and X—often under foreign influence or staffed by diversity hires—enforce a one-sided narrative that betrays the founding covenant of free expression.
The Digital Battlefield: Where Ethnic American Voices Are Silenced
Social media was once hailed as the great equalizer, a tool for unfiltered discourse. But for Ethnic Americans, it has become a minefield of algorithmic bias. Platforms deploy sophisticated tools to suppress content that challenges mass immigration or celebrates our heritage, while boosting posts that portray us as oppressors. This isn’t accidental; it’s a mechanism of control, paralleling the king’s suppression of colonial pamphlets.
Consider the mechanics: Algorithms trained on “hate speech” guidelines—often drafted by globalist NGOs—flag terms like “replacement” or “invasion” as problematic, even when rooted in factual demographic shifts. Ethnic Americans posting about the costs of unchecked borders find their reach plummeted, their accounts shadow-banned, or outright suspended. Meanwhile, pro-immigration content from advocacy groups floods feeds, normalizing the dilution of our republic.
Recent data underscores this asymmetry. In 2025, UNESCO reported a 63% rise in self-censorship among journalists due to platform pressures, with online harassment surging 75% against those challenging dominant narratives. For everyday users, the chill is palpable: A Pew survey found 65% of Americans fear speaking freely online, with Gen Z twice as likely to self-censor on topics like immigration. This isn’t neutral moderation; it’s engineered to marginalize dissent, ensuring Ethnic American perspectives on our posterity’s fate are drowned out.
Picture a family in Ohio—Ethnic Americans whose great-grandparents settled there after Yorktown’s victory. They post about local schools overwhelmed by non-English speakers, citing data from the Federation for American Immigration Reform showing $150 billion annual costs to taxpayers. Overnight, their visibility drops 90%, likes vanish, and comments accusing them of “racism” flood in—amplified by bots or coordinated campaigns. This isn’t debate; it’s digital mob rule, betraying the founders’ vision of a republic where ideas compete freely.
Shadow Banning: The Invisible Gag on Ethnic Advocacy
Shadow banning—reducing visibility without notification—is the stealth weapon of choice. Users like myself, advocating for Ethnic American continuity, see engagement crater when touching “edgy” topics. In 2025, Instagram and TikTok faced accusations of shadow banning pro-border creators, with drops in reach up to 80% for hashtags like #SecureTheBorder. X, despite promises of free speech, isn’t immune: Posts criticizing H-1B visa abuse saw algorithmic demotion, per user reports and analytics.
This parallels Grievance #9 in the Declaration: depriving trial by jury. Today, it’s algorithmic “justice”—no appeal, no transparency. Ethnic Americans discussing the 1790 Act’s intent find their threads buried, while “diversity is our strength” memes go viral. The non-reciprocal twist? Platforms favor immigrant voices organizing for amnesty, amplifying them via “equity” algorithms.
A real-world impact: In 2025, a Texas blogger deplatformed for “hate speech” after critiquing sanctuary cities lost his audience of 50,000, forcing him to self-censor or quit. Families suffer too: Parents warning about cultural erosion in schools face account restrictions, isolating them from like-minded communities. This erodes ethnic continuity, as our posterity grows up in echo chambers hostile to their heritage.
The Psychological Erosion: Silencing Breeds Despair Among Ethnic Americans
This relentless online throttling wounds Ethnic Americans deeply, breeding isolation, doubt, and retreat from safeguarding our lineage. When posts on border enforcement or cultural continuity get buried or vanished, users pull back out of fear, trapped in hostile echo chambers that mock our heritage. 2025 research highlights conservatives and non-political voices self-censoring far more due to backlash worries, amplifying despair as advocacy fades. Picture an Ethnic American in the Midwest, roots in pioneer homesteads, seeing warnings about school dilution silenced—trust crumbles, the drive to speak for posterity weakens. DHS’s 2025 vetting now scans immigration applications for “problematic” online content, heightening intimidation for families preserving Ethnic continuity and turning everyday expression into a risk.
Foreign Influence: Platforms as Vectors for Anti-Ethnic Narratives
Foreign ownership exacerbates the problem. TikTok, despite its 2025 U.S. spinoff, retained ByteDance’s 19.9% stake, raising fears of subtle influence. Algorithms pushed pro-immigration content while suppressing critics, accelerating demographic shifts. Meta and X, with global moderation teams heavy on H-1B hires, enforce biases favoring “diversity.”
Mass immigration amplifies this: Immigrant moderators, per whistleblowers, flag Ethnic American posts as “xenophobic” more readily. In 2025, X faced backlash for shadow banning anti-immigration accounts, with Indian staff cited in leaks. This imports foreign censorship norms, betraying the founding covenant where free speech protected our posterity from tyranny.
This external control sharpens via the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA), ramped up in 2025–2026 to impose worldwide moderation demands that hit Ethnic American posts on mass migration and cultural survival hardest. Platforms face crippling fines if they don’t scrub or downrank what Brussels calls “hate speech” or “disinformation”—labels slapped on honest discussions of demographic changes or immigration burdens. House Judiciary findings from early 2026 expose how EU officials pushed tech giants to globally alter rules, burying Ethnic voices calling for secure borders or heritage defense. Regulators even branded routine advocacy—like urging deportation of criminal migrants—as incitement, forcing platforms to suppress it everywhere, including here in America. This Brussels overreach mocks the founders’ covenant, hijacking our digital spaces to speed the erosion of our posterity’s birthright.
Proximity to strategic assets? Platforms collect data on users’ locations, potentially doxxing Ethnic advocates near borders or rallies. Families in Arizona report targeted ads promoting “multiculturalism” after posting heritage content, a subtle psychological assault.
Quantified Toll: The Data of Digital Displacement
The costs are staggering. In 2025, social media censorship affected 4.6 billion globally, with U.S. users seeing 73% concern over fakes. For Ethnic Americans, it’s acute: A GLAAD report noted disproportionate suppression of “controversial” content, including heritage advocacy.
The 2025 FTC probe into platform practices uncovered widespread downgrading or blocking of users over speech, striking hardest at Ethnic American takes on immigration and heritage. House reports detail EU demands pushing global demotion of migration critiques, slashing visibility and income for our advocates while boosting rival views.
| Platform | Censorship Incidents (2025) | Affected Users (Est.) | Economic Cost ($B) | Source Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X | 70,000+ accounts purged for “far-right” views | 1M+ | 2.5 (lost creator revenue) | Freedom House |
| TikTok | Shadow bans on immigration critics | 500K | 1.8 (ad revenue shift) | Surfshark Report |
| Meta | Demonetization of Ethnic advocacy | 300K | 3.2 (content suppression) | UNESCO Trends |
| YouTube | Video removals for “hate speech” on borders | 200K | 1.5 (lost views) | EFF Review |
| Various (EU-pressured) | Demotions/removals targeting migration/border advocacy | 500K+ Ethnic/conservative users | 1.2 (visibility/revenue loss) | House Judiciary Report |
| General Tech | Denials/degradations tied to speech per FTC review | 800K+ conservative/Ethnic posters | 2.8 (advocacy/productivity hit) | FTC Inquiry |
These figures highlight billions in lost revenue for creators, plus societal costs like polarization (up 20% per APA poll). Recent examples: In 2025, a pro-border podcaster lost 80% audience after deplatforming for “xenophobia.”
Institutional Complicity: Coercion, Collusion, and Cowardice in the Digital Age
The betrayal runs deep, with legislative, judicial, and institutional actors enabling this dispossession through coercion, collusion, and cowardice. This section, substantial in scope, delves into how these pillars of power have failed Ethnic Americans, allowing platforms to become tools of our erasure. At least 900 words here to unpack the rot.
Start with coercion: The Biden-era RESTRICT Act and Project 2025 empowered government to pressure platforms on “misinformation,” often code for Ethnic advocacy. In 2025, DHS expanded social media monitoring for immigration, collecting identifiers from 3.6M applicants, chilling speech. Visa denials for “censorship complicity” targeted moderators, but ironically stifled debate on borders. Trump’s executive order against “federal censorship” mandated probes, yet platforms doubled down on suppressing “hate.”
Collusion is rampant. FTC inquiries into “tech censorship” revealed government-platform meetings flagging Ethnic content as “disinfo.” In 2025, State Department cables directed social media vetting for visas, revoking thousands for “anti-American” posts. Judicial cowardice shines in cases like Supreme Court’s upholding profiling in LA, enabling stops based on ethnicity—echoing digital flags. Lower courts blocked deplatforming challenges, citing Section 230 immunity.
Institutions like UNESCO and Freedom House document global declines, yet U.S. bodies lag, with APA noting 50% cut back on social media due to fears. Project 2025’s distortion of civil rights law threatens anti-discrimination suits against platforms. Cowardice manifests in Congress’s failure to repeal 230, allowing unchecked bias.
Mass immigration accelerates complicity: Diversity hires in moderation enforce foreign biases, per leaks. In 2025, USCIS screened for “antisemitic” posts, broadening to “anti-American.” This breaches the covenant, where free speech protected posterity from tyranny—now, it’s weaponized against us.
The economic toll: $10B+ in lost productivity from self-censorship. Social costs: Polarization up, trust down 30%. Yet, institutions dither, colluding in our dispossession.
Tying to the Series: Digital Threads in the Tapestry of Displacement
This digital dispossession weaves seamlessly into the series’ narrative. In Part XVII (Media Conquest), we exposed traditional outlets’ role in normalizing our erasure; here, social media amplifies that, turning passive consumption into active suppression. Like the foreign land grabs in Part XXVI, platforms seize our digital territory. Electoral dilution (Part XVIII) mirrors vote-rigging via narrative control. The 14th Amendment fraud (Part XIII) enabled physical influx; now, algorithms entrench it virtually.
A Call to Action: Reclaiming Our Digital Birthright
We cannot surrender the digital frontier our ancestors would have claimed. Here are ten concrete steps:
- Support Alternatives: Migrate to uncensored platforms like Gab or Parler; fund Ethnic American devs for new apps.
- Document Bias: Log shadow bans with screenshots; submit to FTC inquiries.
- Advocate Legislation: Lobby for Section 230 reform to mandate transparency; contact reps via calls.
- Build Communities: Form offline Ethnic American networks; use encrypted apps for advocacy.
- Educate Posterity: Teach children media literacy, emphasizing 1790 Act heritage.
- Boycott Biased Brands: Divest from advertisers on censoring platforms; promote Ethnic-owned businesses.
- Litigate Aggressively: Join ACLU-like suits against deplatforming.
- Amplify Truth: Use VPNs to evade bans; share series installments widely.
- Contribute to FTC Reviews: Log cases of Ethnic advocacy being throttled and submit to the 2025 FTC examination of speech-driven restrictions, strengthening the push against biased enforcement.
- Counter Foreign Biases: Deploy VPNs to sidestep EU-influenced or other external algorithmic throttling that targets border/heritage content, keeping your message alive.
