Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups. Censorship by the government is unconstitutional.

Censorship is the Issue

by: Shonda Ponder
CNN has recently held an interview with Jane Coaston, and Irin Carmon about Censorship. They hold that there is no proof of Censorship and that Facebook and Twitter have the right to do with their platform what they like because it is about THEIR freedom and not the user's freedom, and if we don't like Facebook and Twitter, we should move elsewhere.

While they have a point about choosing another platform, it looks as if CNN, a leftist news outlet, is downplaying the importance of allowing free speech and room for debate on sensitive topics.

The Ponder is about proving that Censorship exists and with who and how, and we are posting the reasons cited for the censorship.

Google said on Monday that it would limit the software services it provides to Huawei, the telecommunications giant, after a White House order last week restricted the Chinese company’s access to American technology. Google’s software powers Huawei’s smartphones, and its apps come preloaded on the devices Huawei sells around the world. Depending on how the White House’s order is carried out, that could come to a stop.

Social media titans such as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg have more influence over our freedom than Supreme Court justices or U.S. presidents. But these internet executives are selling out core American principles for the almighty dollar. They’ll do whatever a host country demands. In China, Russia and even capitalist Singapore, internet freedom is already dead, without a murmur of protest by Zuckerberg and others.

Introducing a NEW Social Media Platform: USA.LIFE

by: USA.Life

Washington, D.C. - May 16, 2019 - (The Ponder News) -- The new USA.Life "Christian Internet" helps Christians and churches "share the Gospel without censorship." USA.Life social network "replaces Facebook" and is "one of the greatest works of God, because it opens doors for teaching the Word of God," said Steven Andrew. He is the Christian Silicon Valley technology leader and pastor in charge of the effort.

Why is a Christian Internet needed? "Christians and conservatives are tired of falsely being called 'haters' by Facebook and Twitter for following the teachings of Jesus Christ," Andrew said.

Andrew built USA.Life to end the persecution of Christians and to bring revival to the nation. It is not a Christian only site, but is for all who love America.

Andrew believes Facebook's censorship of Christians could be billions of messages. "On my account alone, Facebook data reveals they block 5 million people per month from my reach. That is over 120 million messages censored the last two and half years." If you multiply this by how many other Christians are being censored, the number is billions of blocked Christian messages.

"Christians, churches and America need the hope of Jesus Christ - not the Gospel censored," he said.

"USA.Life allows users to freely quote the Bible without fear, like the founding fathers established. You can share the Bible teaches Jesus Christ is the only way to God not Buddha or Mohamed, and that homosexuality is sinful," Andrew said. "Following God is not hate speech, but is God's love and truth."

"If you want to go from censorship to true American freedom, then USA.Life is for you," he said.

"Christians and ministries are likely to see an increase in traffic," Andrew said. One Like at USA.Life may equal one hundred Like's at Facebook and Twitter, because USA.Life doesn't shadowban Christians.

To freely share the Gospel, it is important for "individuals and churches to sign up today" to "build the community to millions of people." Free accounts are available at www.USA.Life.

Introducing Two Conservative Organizations to Ponder

Alliance Defending Freedom
Conservative Organizations
We've Defended Your Freedom Since 1994. The morning Alliance Defending Freedom was launched, Dr. Bill Bright told a story about a little boy who was lost in a wheat field. The townspeople frantically searched for the boy, but they couldn’t find him. Finally, one of the searchers suggested that they all hold hands and walk together across the field. They found the boy, but sadly, not in time to save his life. One of the searchers lamented, "If we had only linked arms sooner..." Dr. Bright compared the town’s story to the Christian community. The gathered Christian leaders—more than 30 founders of ADF—recognized that Christians, like the town, needed to unite in order to defend religious freedom before it was too late. And so, Alliance Defending Freedom was launched on January 31, 1994 to ensure that religious freedom did not share the same fate as the boy in the field.
