Announcing Winston84: A Directory to Suppressed Content

Announcing Winston84: A Directory to Suppressed Content ...

"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth."
— Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four

 his week the Center for American Greatness is pleased to announce a new resource for lovers of the First Amendment. A searchable directory—Winston84—to online content that has been censored.

The phenomenon of online censorship, which has steadily increased over the past few years, hardly requires explanation. Beginning in earnest in 2016, the censorship disproportionately impacts conservatives and nationalists, who find their social media content “shadowbanned,” “deboosted,” “throttled down,” “demonetized,” or, in the ultimate (and very common) sanction, “deplatformed.” All too often, these content providers even have their websites taken down by their ISP providers, and their online fundraising accounts terminated.
