The Big Tech companies used to be conservative (like back in the 80’s), but over the years became liberal.

The Big Tech companies used to be conservative (like back in the 80’s), but over the years became progressive and are supportive of organizations such as the Chamber of Progress.<ref>[https://x.com/LundukeJournal/status/2056372841184891144 "Chamber of Progress", a Big Tech lobbyist trade group, is encouraging Age Attestation into law], Bryan Lunduke</ref><ref>[https://progresschamber.org/partners/ Chamber of Progress], partners</ref>

In a ''[[New York Times]]'' op-ed entitled ''Tech Companies Are Destroying Democracy and the Free Press'', the left-wing expert on monopoly power Matt Stoller described [[Facebook]] and [[Google]] as “global monopolies sitting astride public discourse,” and recounted how bipartisan policy and legal changes designed to whittle away antitrust protections have bestowed the two [[Big Tech]] giants with “a radical centralization of power over the flow of information.” And he warns that this unprecedented consolidation of control over our discourse is close to triggering “the collapse of [[journalism]] and [[democracy]].”<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/17/opinion/tech-monopoly-democracy-journalism.html</ref>

Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft are all partnering with the intelligence apparatus.  According to ''[[Reuters]]'', “The Group will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the [[Proud Boys]], the Three Percenters and [[neo-Nazi]]s.”<ref>https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-facebook-tech-giants-target-manifestos-militias-database-2021-07-26/</ref>

Who and what is defined as “extremist content” will be determined by the Big Tech insiders themselves.  This provides a gateway, another plausible deniability aspect, to cover the Intelligence Branch from any oversight.  When the Intelligence Branch within government wants to conduct [[surveillance]] and monitor American citizens, they run up against the problem of [[Fourth Amendment]] protections.  They get around those legal limitations by sub-contracting the intelligence gathering, the actual data-mining, and allowing outside parties (contractors) to have access to the central database.

The government cannot conduct electronic searches without a [[warrant]]; however, private individuals can search and report back as long as they have access.  Big Tech will flag the content from within their platforms, and now a secondary database filled with the extracted information will be provided openly for the Intelligence Branch to exploit.

[[The Democracy Integrity Project]] (TDIP), was a multimillion-dollar stealth organization launched in late January 2017, just days after [[President Donald Trump]]'s inauguration, that provided a daily "research" bulletin known as "TDIP Research" to recognizable Washington journalists, and congressional staff members, to keep the Russia "collusion" hoax alive.  Reports indicated "Social media titans including the founders of Facebook, Twitter and Google are indirectly funding the project through donations funneled through a Silicon Valley foundation."  The nonprofit, 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, ''Fund for a Better Future'' (FBF),<ref>Fund for a Better Future | About Us, http://fundforabetterfuture.org/</ref> donated $2,065,000 to TDIP in 2017.<ref>Georgette | Conservative Daily Post, 'Shadow Media's' Dark Money Funded $2 Million To 'Investigate' Donald Trump, https://conservativedailypost.com/shadow-medias-dark-money-funded-2-million-to-investigate-donald-trump/, March 11, 2019</ref>  TDIP raised some $7 million mainly from [[Silicon Valley]] tech executives and hired computer researchers, as well as [[FusionGPS]] opposition researchers and [[Christopher Steele]], the foreign author of the discredited ''[[Steele dossier]]'', to “prove” the rumors in the dossier.<ref>[https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/09/23/biden_security_adviser_sullivan_tied_to_16_clinton_plan_to_co-opt_cia_and_fbi_to_tar_trump_795498.html Biden Security Adviser Jake Sullivan Tied to Alleged 2016 Clinton Scheme to Co-Opt the CIA and FBI to Tar Trump], By Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations, September 23, 2021</ref>  In March 2019, it was reported that [[Paul Sperry]] had exposed TDIP, which is essentially a "Trump-Russia 2.0: Dossier-Tied Firm Pitching Journalists Daily news on Collusion" spreading lies and fake news to keep the "Trump-Russian collusion" false news narrative alive in main stream media reporting.<ref name=20190320PSPerry>Paul Sperry | Real Clear Investigations, Trump-Russia 2.0: Dossier-Tied Firm Pitching Journalists Daily on 'Collusion", http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3736082/posts, March 20, 2019</ref><ref>''The Federalist'', Soros-Funded PR Shop Constructing Media Echo Chamber To Push Impeachment, https://thefederalist.com/2019/03/21/soros-funded-pr-shop-constructing-media-echo-chamber-push-impeachment/, March 21, 2019</ref>  As they sought new dirt on Trump, they fed their information to [[fake news]] [[media]] outlets, leading [[Democrat]]s on the [[Senate Intelligence Committee]], namely Sens.

''RealClearInvestigations'' revealed that the organization ran an elaborate media-influence operation intent on driving and shaping daily coverage of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, including the pushing of stories regarding Trump in the national main stream media, intending to tie the president or his associates to the [[Kremlin]] and [[Vladimir Putin]].  TDIP then provided the same "research" to the [[FBI]] and congressional investigators and then informs news reporters that "authorities" are investigating those items.  Thus, mirroring a strategy federal authorities used to secure [[FISA]] warrants that were then used to spy on the Trump presidential campaign, in which, FISA applications would cite published news reports that were leaked to the news media to gain credibility.<ref name=20190320PSPerry />
