Sean Davis: Big Tech Companies Are Outsourcing Censorship Through Dishonest “Fact Check” Firms

Big Tech companies are outsourcing censorship through dishonest “fact check” firms, according to co-founder of the Federalist, Sean Davis.

In an interview with EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program, Davis said Big Tech is using an “Orwellian system” when it comes to censorship and often turn to third-party fact-checkers who appear to have “materialized from thin air.”

Davis noted that many of the so-called third-party fact-checkers are based overseas and are run by “college kids” who have the power to “shut down information” under the pretense of trying to stop the spread of false information.

As a consequence, the so-called fact-checking campaigns and censoring serve as nothing more than an “attempt to suppress narratives that are inconvenient to Big Tech.”

“So it’s actually a really kind of an Orwellian system and it’s based on the conceit that these big tech social media publishers are not publishers, because under the law, they have to pretend to be neutral third-party platforms, the way the courts have interpreted it, that gives them all kinds of ‘get out of jail free’ cards,” Davis said.
