This, from the reliable Wall Street Apes on X. I'd be interested in input from any of our California based members who maybe haven't had the means to relocate elsewhere, whether there's been any discernible impact here:

-----------

HOLY CR*P 🚨 The day Charlie Kirk was killed and everyone was focused on that, Gavin Newsom and California Democrats rammed through an online censorship bill

PENALTIES

- If you post something on social media anywhere online that the state of California deems to be hateful, there's a penalty for that reckless violation, a civil penalty of up to $500,000.
- For an intentional, knowing or willful violation, a civil penalty of up to $1 million

“SB 771, passing the Assembly on September 10th, 10 days ago. Then on September 16th, passing the Senate completely under our noses, which means right now, all that stands between complete statewide government censorship is Gavin Newsom's signature”

“I exaggerating about how bad this bill is? No, I am not. Here is the actual bill. You can pull this up yourself on the state's website.

The Bill's called SB 771. It's called Personal Rights Liability, Social Media Platforms.

In Section 2, Title 23 of the Bill, it defines the penalties for breaking this new California law

- If you post something on social media anywhere online that the state, the State of California deems to be hateful, there's a penalty for that reckless violation, a civil penalty of up to $500,000
- For an intentional, knowing or willful violation, a civil penalty of up to $1 million.

That is the definition of the state controlling speech, folks.

— What type of speech is California trying to police here? Well, let's read from the Bill. It says, "This bill protects against online harassment, particularly when directed at historically marginalized groups."

“the State of California's actively passing UK style laws that will fine you for saying the wrong thing. Pretty wild. And this bill is completely done, folks. It's passed in the House, it's passed in the Senate. All that's left is Gavin Newsom signing it into law”

The United Kingdom arresting more people for social media posts overnight... a woman awakened at 2 in the morning to find police at her door again... over social media posts that she's made. And now the move towards a total 1984 style surveillance state is moving at lighting speed with the rollout of a digital ID for everyone in England. Making it mandatory.

Just a heads up: if you're using Imgur as an image host, know that your images won't be visible or viewable by members in the UK. Instead we see this:



It would be 'desirable', therefore, if at all possible, to use an alternative host for posting images on Avalon to ensure all members can see the image or graphic in question. Many such hosts are available. My recommendation: https://vgy.me/

Imgur blocks access to UK users after regulator warned of fine: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo

Effective September 30th

Image-hosting platform Imgur has blocked people in the UK from accessing its content.

Imgur is used by millions to make and share images such as memes across the web, particularly on Reddit and in online forums.

But UK users trying to access Imgur on Tuesday were met with an error message saying "content not available in your region" - with Imgur content shared on other websites also no longer showing.

The UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), said it recently notified the platform's parent company, MediaLab AI, of plans to fine Imgur after probing its approach to age checks and use of children's personal data.

The BBC has approached MediaLab AI for comment.

A help article on Imgur's US website, seen by the BBC, states that "from September 30, 2025, access to Imgur from the United Kingdom is no longer available".

"UK users will not be able to log in, view content, or upload images. Imgur content embedded on third-party sites will not display for UK users."

Pavel Durov quote:

"I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers. What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control. Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU). Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy. A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away. We’ve been fed a lie. We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech. By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological. So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time".

MintPress News

David Ellison — son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison — is reportedly preparing a formal bid to merge Warner Bros., HBO, and CNN.

If approved, it would mark one of the largest media consolidations in recent years.

Larry Ellison, among the world’s wealthiest tech figures, has been a major donor to Israeli organizations and defense initiatives, according to public filings.

Analysts say this latest round of mergers, alongside ongoing efforts to purchase other platforms such as TikTok, reflects the growing concentration of global media power in a few hands — raising concerns about how ownership shapes editorial independence.

Judge in Landmark Censorship Case Delivers ‘Spectacular’ Win For Free Speech
by Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.
March 25, 2026
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/d...tm_id=20260325

"After a four-year legal battle, the plaintiffs in the key censorship case, Missouri v. Biden, scored a free speech victory. “This is the first real, operational restraint on the federal censorship machine,” according to Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt, who served as the state’s attorney general when the case was filed.

Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt, who served as the state’s attorney general when the case was filed, said in a post on X, “We just won Missouri v. Biden. … This is the first real, operational restraint on the federal censorship machine. It locks in the First Amendment principle we fought for: modern technology doesn’t erase your rights, and government labels don’t strip speech of protection.”

Eric Schmitt
@Eric_Schmitt
We just won Missouri v. Biden.

As Missouri’s Attorney General, I sued the Biden regime for brazenly colluding with Big Tech to silence Missouri families — censoring the truth about COVID, the Hunter Biden laptop, the open border, and the 2020 election. They tried to turn Facebook, X, YouTube, and the rest into their private speech police, labeling dissent “misinformation” while they pushed their narrative on the American people.

Today, after years of unrelenting litigation, we deep state into a historic 10-year, court-enforceable Consent Decree. It directly binds the Surgeon General, the CDC, and CISA: no more threats of legal, regulatory, or economic punishment. No more coercion. No more unilateral direction or veto of platform decisions to remove, suppress, deplatform, or algorithmically bury protected speech.

Missouri struck first—and Missouri won big.

This is the first real, operational restraint on the federal censorship machine. It locks in the First Amendment principle we fought for: modern technology doesn’t erase your rights, and government labels don’t strip speech of protection. The deep state just got checked.

For every working Missouri family tired of being silenced by their own government: this victory is yours. The heartland fought back, and the heartland delivered.

Children’s Health Defense Wins Settlement in Landmark Censorship Case
by The Defender Staff
March 30, 2026
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/d...tm_id=20260330

"Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and the DOJ finalized a settlement in CHD’s lawsuit against key Biden administration officials accused of colluding with tech companies to censor social media content. “We brought this case years ago to challenge the Biden administration’s assault on free speech,” said CHD attorney Jed Rubenfed. “Today, the government, under a new administration, acknowledged that assault.”

Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) finalized a settlement in CHD’s landmark class action censorship lawsuit against key Biden administration officials accused of colluding with tech companies to censor social media content.

In a press release, the DOJ cited President Donald Trump’s Jan. 20, 2025, Executive Order “acknowledging that ‘the previous administration trampled free speech rights by censoring Americans’ speech on online platforms, often by exerting substantial coercive pressure on third parties, such as social media companies, to moderate, deplatform, or otherwise suppress speech that the Federal Government did not approve.’ 90 Fed. Reg. 8243 (Jan. 28, 2025).”

CHD, along with its then-Chairman Robert F. Kennedy Jr., sued the Biden administration in March 2023.

The lawsuit, Kennedy v. Biden, became CHD v. Trump after Trump became president of the U.S., and Kennedy, who first left CHD to run his own presidential campaign, was later named secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the Trump administration.

The class action lawsuit against then-President Joe Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci and other top administration officials and federal agencies alleged they “waged a systematic, concerted campaign” to compel the nation’s three largest social media companies to censor constitutionally protected speech.

Jed Rubenfeld, attorney for CHD, called the settlement a “tremendous win” against government censorship.

“We brought this case years ago to challenge the Biden administration’s assault on free speech,” Rubenfeld said. “Today, the government, under a new administration, acknowledged that assault. And via a previously issued Executive Order, the president prohibited government officials from pressuring social media companies in the future to trample on Americans’ First Amendment rights.”

As part of the settlement with CHD, the government agreed to pay attorneys’ fees.

The DOJ also settled a similar lawsuit, Missouri v. Biden, and issued a consent decree in the case.

The consent decree, binding for 10 years, prohibits the “Surgeon General, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)” from threatening social media companies unless the companies “remove, delete, suppress, or reduce, including through altering their algorithms, posted social-media content containing protected free speech.”

Missouri v. Biden was filed in May 2022. In July 2023, a federal judge consolidated Kennedy v. Biden and Missouri v. Biden — “for all purposes” including discovery.

CEO Mary Holland said government collusion with tech giants to censor Americans’ speech during the COVID-19 pandemic didn’t just result in CHD being deplatformed from major social media — it also shut down scientific debate around COVID-19 vaccines, preventing Americans from being able to make informed decisions based on the full range of risks associated with the vaccines.

Holland, who called censorship a “tool of tyranny, said that once social media companies caved to the government’s pressure to censor CHD and others, the tech giants deployed algorithms to suppress and censor content, especially content related to COVID-19 and vaccines.

“Unfortunately, those algorithms are still in place, despite President Trump’s Executive Order and the successful settlements in these two landmark lawsuits,” Holland said.

Zuckerberg admitted censoring content under pressure from Biden officials

In November 2020, CHD sued Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, over the social media giant’s censorship practices.

In August 2022, Meta deplatformed CHD from Facebook and Instagram and has not yet reinstated the accounts.

In January 2025, CHD petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) to hear its case against Meta. Less than 24 hours later, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg admitted to censoring content at the government’s request. He also announced the company was ending its third-party “fact-checking” program.

Zuckerberg said that in recent years, his company responded to pressure for stricter speech restrictions. “Governments and legacy media have pushed to censor more and more,” Zuckerberg said. “A lot of this is clearly political.”

He acknowledged that some of the “complex systems” Meta built to moderate content made mistakes. “We’ve reached a point where it’s just too many mistakes and too much censorship.”

SCOTUS declined to hear CHD’s case against Meta.

Google also admitted government pressure to censor COVID content

Google, which owns YouTube, also deplatformed CHD. The tech giant’s search engine continues to censor CHD.

In September 2025, Google admitted to censoring YouTube content that questioned official COVID-19 narratives — and deplatforming users who posted such material — under pressure from the Biden administration.

The admission came as part of an investigation by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) into Big Tech censorship practices.

King & Spalding, the legal firm representing Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google and YouTube, acknowledged the censorship in a letter to Jordan.

In the letter, Alphabet said the Biden administration’s pressure to censor users was “unacceptable and wrong,” and offered to reinstate users who were banned for allegedly violating YouTube’s policies on COVID-19 and political speech.

Jordan issued subpoenas to Big Tech executives in February 2023 and March 2025 as part of a broader investigation into the “censorship-industrial complex,” in which the Biden administration allegedly worked with Big Tech companies to “censor Americans,” “true information” and critics of the administration."
