Soros Gave $30M to Groups Urging Censorship of So-Called Disinfo Before Midterms

Soros Gave $30M to Groups Urging Censorship of So-Called Disinfo Before Midterms.

Liberal billionaire George Soros funded groups that are now urging the heads of major Big Tech platforms to step up their censorship just before the 2022 midterm elections.

13 open letter signed by 11 other liberal groups pining for Big Tech to “[t]ake immediate steps to curb the spread of voting disinformation in the midterms and future elections and to help prevent the undermining of our democracy.” The letter agonized over how “[t]he 2022 midterm elections are only a few weeks away, but online disinformation continues to confuse, intimidate, and harass voters, suppress the right to vote, and otherwise disrupt our democracy.”

The groups addressed the letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew , Snap CEO Evan Spiegel and Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri. Soros gave a whopping $30,325,500 to at least seven of the 12 total signatories between 2016 and 2020.

MRC President Brent Bozell didn’t mince words about what side of the political aisle was going to be most affected by what the Soros-funded groups were urging. “Soros spent $30M on groups trying to get Big Tech to censor conservatives ahead of the midterms,” Bozell said in a statement.

Censorship before a U.S. election is not a new phenomenon. Big Media and Big Tech stole the 2020 election, throwing it to President Joe Biden. A 2020 MRC poll found that 45 percent of Biden voters weren’t fully aware of the New York Post story exposing alleged corrupt dealings involving him and his son Hunter precisely because Big Media and Big Tech whitewashed it in the name of blocking so-called “disinformation.”

Had Americans been fully aware of the scandal, the poll found, 9.4 percent of Biden voters would not have voted for him. This shift would have flipped all six of the swing states Biden won to former President Donald Trump, giving Trump a victorious 311 electoral votes and sealing a second presidential term.

Another MRC Free Speech America study found 140 instances involving users — including lawmakers, organizations, news outlets and media personalities — who were censored for sharing anything related to the bombshell Hunter Biden laptop story.
