FIREFOX browsers will soon block "fake news" flagged by George Soros...

• http://www.naturalnews.com

(Natural News) What's become abundantly clear over the past few months is that liberals are now jumping on the anti-fake news bandwagon and using it as an excuse to censor political speech that doesn't align with their radical agenda. This strategy is perhaps most prominent on social media and various websites across the Internet, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, and is implemented by teams of leftists and extremists like George Soros who show zero regards for the freedom of speech outlined in the First Amendment. It's as if the ability to control what information is spread across the Internet and what information gets suppressed is more important than the United States Constitution, which completely contradicts everything that our country was founded upon.

It appears that the most recent Internet-based assault on the First Amendment comes from the popular web browser Mozilla Firefox, which just days ago announced that it would be launching an effort to combat what it considers to be "fake news" and misinformation.

According to Business Insider, Mozilla said that it was launching a Mozilla Information Trust Initiative, or MITI. The web browser explained that it is going to be "investing in people, programs and projects" to "disrupt misinformation online."

Mozilla went on to say that the "internet's ability to power democratic society suffers greatly" as a result of fabricated stories like "Pope endorsing Donald Trump for the U.S. presidency" or "Dead FBI agent killed in a mysterious fire with information on former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton." While both of these articles turned out not to be true, it is still a wonder why Mozilla believes it has the authority to censor stories like these in the first place.

"You only have to look at the number of initiatives that have risen up to address this challenge [of fake news], either by tech companies or other organizations to see how worrying this phenomenon is to so many," said Mozilla's innovation director Katharina Borchert in a recent interview with AFP.
