Big Tech actors like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube feel increasingly comfortable banning conservative voices from their platforms. But as Big Tech is willing to censor conservatives for their speech, other platforms devoted to free expression are starting to fill the gap. The director of The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Technology Policy, Lora Ries, contends that as long as these big platforms continue to censor dissent, alternative platforms will crop up to try to serve as alternatives. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.) “The new CEO…

For many Americans who, like myself, have decided not to take the COVID-19 vaccine for religious or medical reasons, staying true to our decision can mean being singled out and rejected by family, friends, and even employers. For me, it meant being placed on indefinite, unpaid leave from my job as a pilot for United Airlines, without any benefits—including medical coverage, and no emergency ability to access my retirement savings. A pilot since 18, I spent the last 30 years flying commercially. The last 24 years were spent with Continental,…

Writer, commentator, and editor Bethany Mandel only wanted to provide alternatives to the woke books being provided to children in school. So she was shocked when Facebook took down her page advertising such alternatives due to “disruptive content.” “There was no warning,” Mandel says of Facebook’s action. “They told us that our ads were low quality or disruptive content, but they never actually defined what about them was low quality and disruptive content. … This is a wholesome new children’s book [series] that you can buy for your children for…

Last month, dermatologists and pharmacists around the U.S. discovered they could no longer prescribe or dispense isotretinoin, an important dermatological medication, after the Food and Drug Administration botched software updates to the drug’s online reporting system known as iPledge. The updates weren’t adequately tested before they were launched, resulting in doctors unable to use the system and instead waiting for hours on the phone with the FDA to get prescription approvals.

Friday was a critical day for American liberty. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two cases to determine whether or not a stay would be issued against President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates.  The high court heard arguments on the Biden COVID-19 vaccine and testing mandate for businesses with 100 or more employees, and also on the mandate requiring health care workers to be vaccinated.  “The courts seem inclined to strike down the mandate, probably on the lack of authority ground, that OSHA, the agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration,…

Republican leaders slammed President Joe Biden after December’s jobs report released Friday reported numbers well below economists’ projections, highlighting the report as another example of how the president mishandled the post-pandemic recovery. The U.S. economy added only 199,000 jobs in December while unemployment dipped to 3.9%, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced Friday. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal projected that the economy would add 422,000 jobs in December and that unemployment to fall to 4.1%. “Our economy should be soaring right now, but the policies of this administration continue to stifle growth and hold back American…
