<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time the little bluebirds of Twitter come home to roost. While we\u2019re at it, clean out the henhouse of Facebook, Instagram, Google and the other plucky tech giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump administration is laying the groundwork to fence them all in for their blatant discrimination. It\u2019s about time. Where\u2019s the \u201chell-yes\u201d emoji?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under consideration is the creation of a White House commission to explore allegations of anticonservative bias by social media businesses. Interestingly, it\u2019s coming from the most prolific Twitter user to occupy the White House. It\u2019s also not the first time President Donald Trump\u2019s torched social media platforms, according to The Hill<\/a><\/strong>, which reported the president tweeted in 2019 the tech giants engage in, \u201ctremendous dishonesty, bias, discrimination and suppression practiced by certain companies. We will not let them get away with it much longer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vice President Mike Pence told Breitbart<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cWell, the president has made it very clear that we are not going to tolerate censorship on the Internet and social media against conservatives. We\u2019re just not going to tolerate it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pressure is building. News broke last year that the Justice Department was investigating<\/a><\/strong> unspecified online platforms to consider concerns raised about \u201csearch, social media and some retail services online.\u201d Independently, 47 state attorneys general are probing<\/strong><\/a> Facebook for antitrust violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firearm and ammunition industry has more than a few instances of documented antigun bias by social media companies. There\u2019s a love-hate<\/a><\/strong> relationship with the social media platforms. They\u2019ve become so ubiquitous that it\u2019s nearly impossible to reach customers without them. NSSF has argued they\u2019ve become the virtual public square, where people from every walk of life can not only see pictures and video of friends and family, but express ideas, debate topics and participate in civic discourse. That is, of course, if they\u2019re allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Standards<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Jessica Keffer, the marketing manager for the Sportsman\u2019s Shop in East Earl, Pa., went on Fox and Friends<\/a><\/strong> to describe the discrimination her business faced from Facebook. She was booted for advertising on Facebook over American flags. Keffer\u2019s ad wasn\u2019t about gun sales, but with her attempt to boost an \u201cHonor the Flag\u201d promotion. The ad was approved and then rejected. The reason given was, \u201cIt\u2019s because you have a link to your website on your page which does sell firearms. That\u2019s also against our policies I\u2019m afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ad had nothing to do with selling guns and while the Sportsman\u2019s Shop sells guns, all sales are completed in a face-to-face transaction, and with a background check, in accordance with federal and state laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keffer was pointed to Facebook\u2019s Prohibited Content<\/strong><\/a> section, a part of the social media giants Ad Policies<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> \u201cAds must not promote the sale or use of weapons, ammunition, or explosives,\u201d one of the subsections reads. But Keffer\u2019s ad was about flags, not guns. The Daily Caller<\/a><\/strong> dug deeper and Facebook told them since the page links back to the shop\u2019s website, which advertises guns, they canned the ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google It<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t just Mark Zuckerburg\u2019s baby. Tech giant Google assigns a \u201cFamily Status\u201d to every product in the Google Shopping function. In 2012, Google moved<\/a><\/strong> firearm-related content to the same \u201cnon family safe\u201d category as adult content. The bias didn\u2019t end there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google discriminated<\/a><\/strong> against Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, a conservation organization that is dedicated to putting millions of acres into perpetual trusts and conservation lands and restoring wild elk populations across America. RMEF wanted to promote an eight-minute video about the benefits of hunting to conservation. Google labeled it \u201canimal cruelty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t get turned around<\/strong><\/a> until U.S. Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and U.S. Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) sent a letter to Google\u2019s CEO demanding answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t the first time, either. Google owns YouTube, which shut down<\/strong><\/a> Brownells\u2019 channel without warming in 2018. Brownells\u2019 69,000 subscribers, and the company, were left in the dark. Brownells issued a social media call-to-arms and their customers responded and YouTube restored the channel.  The whole dustup was for supposed \u201cviolating YouTube Community Guidelines.\u201d Even founder of Ars Techica and former Wired editor Jon Stokes scratching his head. He\u2019s plugged into all things in the tech world and he couldn\u2019t make the connection to any community standard that would have possibly posed a hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stokes tweeted<\/a>,<\/strong> \u201cI gotta say something else about this. Brownells is like the stodgiest, old-schoolest, non-tactical, non- \u2018assault rifle\u2019, old-hunting-guy brand in the gun world. When your platform has summarily executed Brownells, you\u2019ve just gone too far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infringing Rights<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These tech giants, for years, have been infringing First Amendment rights to quash Second Amendment rights. Buying and selling guns is a constitutionally-protected right. A three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said as much in their ruling on Teixeira vs. Alameda County<\/em><\/a><\/strong> that reads \u201cthe right to purchase and sell firearms is part and parcel of the historically recognized right to keep and bear arms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social media corporations have been suppressing the firearm industry, gun ownership, firearm safety and anything that could be related to guns in the name of \u201ccommunity standards\u201d and what they determine to be in the best interests of Americans. That right doesn\u2019t belong to virtual overlords. That free exchange of ideas belongs to the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time the bluebirds came home to roost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larry Keane <\/strong>is Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs and General Counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation<\/a>, the firearms industry trade association.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
