Earlier this week, we wrote about a troubling new study published by the Napa Legal Institute. The study detailed a growing trend of open censorship of traditionally religious people by Big Tech. You can read our article reviewing the report here, and the report itself here.

Responding by email to our request for comment, Josh Holdenried of the Napa Legal Institute discussed why we should expect more censorship, the “overwhelmingly encouragement” from the general public regarding the report, and the importance of not letting Big Tech bully faith-leaders into silence.

Is this problem getting worse?

CNA Staff, Mar 31, 2021 / 03:01 pm (CNA).- Religious groups that speak on controversial topics are at risk of being removed from social media platforms and need to prepare, a legal education group says.
While a “de-platforming” event can pose significant operational problems, there are also ways to organize broad-based efforts to respond when a group faces sanctions from influential internet companies such as Amazon, Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter.
“It seems likely that religious groups and individuals will face mounting threats from tech companies. Their views on marriage, sexuality, life and other moral issues are unpopular among the Silicon Valley set,” Josh Holdenreid, vice president and executive director of Napa Legal Institute, said in a March 28 opinion essay for the Wall Street Journal, “Big Tech Censors Religion, Too.”
