The European Union is getting upset with Elon Musk’s limited censorship over Twitter:

EU Complains Elon Musk’s Twitter Lacks Appetite For Censorship

February 10, 2023

European Union authorities are complaining that Twitter doesn’t seem to be taking the bloc’s fight against “disinformation” seriously by producing an incomplete report on compliance with its rules on censorship.

Elon Musk’s Twitter lagged the likes of Google, Meta, and TikTok in the fight against “disinformation” over the past six months, the European Commission said on Feb. 9, and it urged Twitter to get in line.

“I am disappointed to see that Twitter’s report lags behind others and I expect a more serious commitment to their obligations,” Vera Jourova, a European Commission vice president for values and transparency, said in a statement.

The bloc on Feb. 8 opened a Transparency Center that contains the various tech platforms’ reports, including Twitter’s.

Thierry Breton, the EU’s internal market commissioner who recently reminded Musk to follow the EU’s rules on policing content, didn’t reference Twitter directly, but said that “it comes as no surprise that the degree of quality vary greatly according to the resources companies have allocated to this project.” There have been significant staffing cuts at Twitter since Musk took over.

Six months ago, before Musk bought the social media platform, Twitter was among 34 entities that signed on to an updated EU anti-disinformation pledge called the Code of Practice on Disinformation.

Along with the recently agreed Digital Services Act—which lets regulators fine tech platforms up to 6 percent of their global turnover for violations—and draft rules on political advertising, the code is part of the European Commission’s “toolbox for fighting the spread of disinformation in the EU,” the bloc’s executive said in a June 2022 release. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/eu-complains-elon-musks-twitter-lacks-appetite-censorship

Now, notice a Tweet related to the WEF (World Economic Forum), by Elon Musk:

The WEF and the EU support one another. The EU does not like Elon Musk allowing and promoting negative comments related to either.

Getting back to the EU, I looked over its 2022 Code of Practice on Disinformation today. Here is one section from it:

Relevant Signatories will further develop and apply policies, features, or programs across Member States and EU languages to help users benefit from the context and insights provided by independent factcheckers or authoritative sources, for instance by means of labels, such as labels indicating factchecker ratings, notices to users who try to share or previously shared the rated content, information panels, or by acting upon content notified by factcheckers that violate their policies.

The fact is that the “independent factcheckers” and many so-called “or authoritative sources” have often proved to be unreliable and have censored truthful information.

What the EU, WEF, and many others want is not the elimination of wrong information, but the censorship of ideas that they oppose.

While Elon Musk has significant ability to affect Twitter on the internet, last summer the WEF revealed a plan to remove materials off the internet that it does not care for:

WEF’s “Global Intelligence Collecting AI” To Erase Ideas From The Internet

August 15, 2022

The World Economic Forum is becoming a little concerned. Unapproved opinions are becoming more popular, and online censors cannot keep up with millions of people becoming more aware and more vocal. …

WEF author Inbal Goldberger came up with a solution: she proposes to collect off-platform intelligence from “millions of sources” to spy on people and new ideas, and then merge this information together for “content removal decisions” sent down to “Internet platforms”.

To overcome the barriers of traditional detection methodologies, we propose a new framework: rather than relying on AI to detect at scale and humans to review edge cases, an intelligence-based approach is crucial.

By bringing human-curated, multi-language, off-platform intelligence into learning sets, AI will then be able to detect nuanced, novel abuses at scale, before they reach mainstream platforms. Supplementing this smarter automated detection with human expertise to review edge cases and identify false positives and negatives and then feeding those findings back into training sets will allow us to create AI with human intelligence baked in. This more intelligent AI gets more sophisticated with each moderation decision, eventually allowing near-perfect detection, at scale.

What is this about? What’s new?

The way censorship is done these days is that each Internet platform, such as Twitter, has its own moderation team and a decision making engine. Twitter would only look at tweets by any specific twitter user, when deciding on whether to delete any tweets or suspend their authors. Twitter moderators do NOT look at Gettr or other external websites.

So, for example, user @JohnSmith12345 may have a Twitter account and narrowly abide by Twitter rules, but at the same time have a Gettr account where he would publish anti-vaccine messages. Twitter would not be able to suspend @JohnSmith12345’s account. That is no longer acceptable to the WEF because they want to silence people and ideas, not individual messages or accounts.

This explains why the WEF needs to move beyond the major Internet platforms, in order to collect intelligence about people and ideas everywhere else. Such an approach would allow them to know better what person or idea to censor — on all major platforms at once.

They want to collect intelligence from “millions of sources”, and train their “AI systems” to detect thoughts that they do not like, to make content removal decisions handed down to the likes of Twitter, Facebook, and so on. This is a major change from the status quo of each platform deciding what to do based on messages posted to that specific platform only. …

If someone ever said that it would be contemplated, I would probably think that this person is insane. It sounds like a sick technological fantasy. Unfortunately, this crazy stuff is real, is in a WEF agenda proposal that is officially posted on their website’s “WEF Agenda” section. And WEF is not messing around. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/wefs-global-intelligence-collecting-ai-erase-ideas-internet

So, this seems ominous and totalitarian.

Yet, you might think that this will not impact you.

But do not be so sure.

A few years back, I was tipped off to the fact that Facebook categorizes its users under various political categories. Not only does it look at what you post on Facebook, it also looks at the views of your Facebook “friends.”

So, even if you post nothing political, it still categorizes you.

Now consider what a system that crosses platforms, as opposed to only looking at one piece, will do.

Consider that Goggle reads all your gmails. Consider that a system that crosses platforms would possibly be able to read all your emails, tweets, posts, and text messages, plus sees which websites you visit, as well as those who send you emails or have any type of electronic connection with you.

That is where it looks like this may be going.

So, it is more than just censoring some content.

Whistleblower warns feds scheme to declare Christians ‘actual criminals’

Faith ‘is dangerous apparently in this country’

February 10. 2023

A federal government whistleblower says government officials are developing a scheme through which they would declare Christians to be criminals.

A report at Fox News explains whistleblower Kyle Seraphin discussed the issue on Tucker Carlson Tonight.

The report explained an internal document from the FBI’s Richmond field office “allegedly vowed to spy on ‘radical traditionalist Catholics and their ideology.'”

Seraphin told Carlson, “They have found a gateway in what they think is fringe Catholicism in order to move into Christians in general and declare them to be the actual criminals in this country or the potential terrorists.” …

In fact, numerous government moves throughout the Barack Obama and Joe Biden administrations have been targeted directly at Christians. https://www.wnd.com/2023/02/whistleblower-warns-feds-scheme-declare-christians-actual-criminals/

Yes, various ones in many governments have been moving towards holding religion above the state and/or holding to biblically-consistent views on morality as views of “extremists” and “terrorists.”

Plus by the WEF and EU wanting to criminalize various matters, it looks like the objective is to imprison people who express ideas that the globalists do not want them to have or share.

Consider, further, that what the EU, WEF, and Big Tech consider to be “hate speech” includes agreeing with various statements in the Bible.

Notice also the following warning from the Bible:

15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)

The system above would seem to include monitoring of electronic communications to be sure that all will agree with, and worship, the Beast.

Plus, there has to be something consistent with electronic monitoring to control all buying and selling.

The technology to do so now exists.

The will to do so, by many governments (like the EU and even USA), companies (particularly Big Tech), and other organizations (like the WEF) are becoming more and more apparent.

As I have been warning for years, electronic monitoring, including AI, will be used for things like internet censorship–which is already happening. Elon Musk also raised concerns back in 2018 about where the use of AI could be heading. Related to that, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) is pleased to announce the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

15:30

Billionaire Elon Musk declared he was worried that artificial intelligence (AI) may lead to the rise of an “immortal dictator,” a “godlike” entity that could take over the world. Is this accurate, or at least, close in some ways? Does Bible prophecy foretell of the rise of an immoral leader who considers himself above all gods? Will this result in great destruction? What is AI? How might it fit in with various prophecies? Was the increase in technological knowledge we now have prophesied over 2000 years ago? Will 666 control over buying and selling involve any form of AI? Dr. Thiel goes over many scriptures, including prophetic ones, that involve human knowledge–which is the basis of AI. He also points out that when various prophesies were made, there was no technology capable of fulfilling them, but that because of computers, such ability exists now. Dr. Thiel also points out what Jesus will do about it.

Here is a link: Artificial Intelligence and Prophecy.

That said, prophetically we know that more censorship is coming:

11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
But shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)

Groups such as the WEF, Big Tech, and a group of various European leaders (cf. Revelation 17:12-13) will be involved in at least helping set the stage for that type of censorship.

The UN, WEF, and other globalists are working towards a world warned against in your Bible. Related to a WEF conference as well as one for the Bilderberg group, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

14:31

Globalism Conspiracy or Convergence?

In May of 2022, the World Economic Forum held a conference where thousands of the world’s elites attended, essentially in support of a ‘great reset’ to change society. In June 2022, the Bilderberg Group met essentially to do the same thing. In June 2022, Pope Francis told a group invited by Cardinal Kurt Koch, “Unity does not come about by standing still.” Whereas the Roman Catholic group, whose co-president in Marc Stengel, called for more cooperation with the United Nations and apparently supporters of Gandhi. The World Council of Churches also supports the globalist agenda as do the Freemasons and others. Could Satan be the real conspirator behind this? Will humanity be able to bring about utopia? Or can true Christian unity and utopia only come about with the return of Jesus and the Kingdom of God? Will the globalist agenda succeed for a time? Dr. Thiel addresses these and other issues.

Here is a link to that video: Globalism Conspiracy or Convergence?

As far as AI and its anti-biblical biases, last month we put out the following video:

ChatGPT and 666

In November 2022, OpenAI released something called ChatGPT. Google held a meeting related to it the next month and some think it may possibly replace Google. Some suspect that artificial intelligence will generate up to 90% of internet content in the future. Some believe that items such as ChatGPT will eliminated certain writing, tech, and other jobs requiring a college education. What does ChatGPT stand for? Why are teachers concerned it may result in loss of writing and researching skills? Is ChatGPT a neutral information source or is it biased as ‘conservatives’ have claimed? What has it said about transgenderism, political leaders, and drag queens? Do ChatGPT and other tech companies “suppress the truth in unrighteousness”? Is more censorship coming according to the Bible? Why does it appear that types of artificial intelligence will be used by supporters of the coming 666 beast power? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these issues.

Here is a link to our video: ChatGPT and 666.

We are getting closer to Orwellian 666 controls.

Do not think that free speech is going to continue as many elected political leaders (in the EU and USA), as well as un-elected ones (such as in the WEF and Bilderberg Group), are actively and openly calling for criminalizing ideas that they do not want considered.

And it will get murderously worse.

Have no doubts about it–scripture is clear that murderous persecutions are coming (cf. Daniel 7:25, 11:33-35; Revelation 13:15; watch also our latest video Christian Persecution from the Beast).
