A former Apple employee alleges in a lawsuit that the company punished him for approving an app critical of the Chinese regime in order to appease Beijing authorities.



The allegations were made by Trieu Pham, a former app reviewer for the tech giant, in a discrimination and wrongful termination suit filed at the Santa Clara Superior Court in December 2019.



In his complaint, Pham states that in 2018 he was criticized by his Apple managers for approving an app by Guo Media because it was "critical of the Chinese government." Guo Media is a website created by Guo Wengui, a dissident Chinese businessman exiled in the United States and wanted by Beijing on alleged economic crimes. He is known for making allegations about massive corruption at the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership.

Big Tech companies have been accused of meddling in the 2020 election, and their employees have obtained influential roles within the Biden-Harris organization, which critics say could signal a return to the friendly stance held by the Obama administration toward Silicon Valley.



At issue is how these companies used their funding or engaged in censorship ahead of the election. A report from The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society alleges that $500 million from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was given to election officials and used to violate election laws. The money was allegedly used to improperly influence the election in favor of Biden, with the bulk of the funds going to a progressive nonprofit.



That raises "serious legal concerns," according to Scott Watnik, member of the litigation department and co-chair of the cybersecurity practice at the law firm Wilk Auslander LLP.

Facebook Shuts Down Page for GOP Senate Campaigns Just Before Georgia Runoffs



Facebook shut down a fundraising page for Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) just days before voters head to the polls to decide between the Republicans and their Democratic challengers.



The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) runs the Georgia Battleground Fund, a joint fundraising committee for the NRSC and the campaigns for Loeffler and Perdue.



According to a screenshot from the committee, Facebook alerted them that the page for the fund was disabled "for policy violation."

If the USA did that, Twitter and Facebook would go bankrupt.

Trump posted a taped video message calling for peace hours after the rioting first began. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube all deleted the video from their platforms saying it may contribute to violence.



"We have to have peace," Trump said in the message. "We have to have law and order."

Social media companies banning President Donald Trump is something the Chinese Communist Party would do, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said Friday.



"Silencing people, not to mention the President of the U.S., is what happens in China not our country," Haley wrote in a tweet.



Trump in response accused Twitter of "banning free speech" and coordinating "with the Democrats and the Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me—and YOU, the 75,000,000 great patriots who voted for me."



Trump said his team has been negotiating with competitors to Twitter and is looking into building their own platform in the near future.

Haley is wrong. It should read "is what happens in China AND our country,"

2010s: "I can't believe you watch that one news network, it's sorta biased."



2020s: "Gimme an extra-large heaping helping of media bias ... super-size that totalitarian 1984-esque big-tech censorship ... hold the free speech ... I'll take a side order of partisanship ... and a big bowl of intolerance for dessert."
