Why does Mozilla participate in censorship in America?

[RVernerTyl]

It is blatantly obvious that Firefox is specifically programmed to suppress one of the best sources for good news and political information, namely thegatewaypundit.com.  I'm sure there are many other examples, as this type of behavior is usually systematic.  This site is constantly removed from my suggested favorites, though I navigate there almost every session. I don't know if Mozilla is doing this through outside pressure or personal preference, but they should be severely dissuaded from this behavior.  Censorship of facts, news, political and medical discussions, or even personal opinions should never be tolerated in any free society. In an environment where truthful, unbiased news is difficult to find, we must not allow organizations like Mozilla, Facebook, Google, etc to make it even harder.  We cannot guard our liberty and be united without proper information.  The tyranny that seeks to hide the truth must be stopped.  So which is it, Mozilla?  Are you actively tyrannical, caving to pressure, or just duped by propaganda? It's one or the other.

Hi, what list do you mean by "suggested favorites"?

If the problem is with the Shortcuts below the search box on the built-in Firefox Home / new tab page -- which also appear in the address bar drop-down when you first click in the bar, before you type anything for Firefox to match off of -- you should pin the ones you want to stay at the top of the list. Otherwise, changes to your history (visiting other sites, clearing browsing history) will constantly reshuffle the order. More info on how to pin shortcuts in this article:

There is no doubt about Mozilla being on the political censorship bandwagon. And it's gotten worse over the years. I started using Firefox... back in '97 or '98. It was shortly after their release. At the time I started using it as my browser there weren't many options. I didn't like Explorer and a co-worker suggested Firefox. At the time, and for many years after, it was great. But sometime around 2007 or 2008 I started to notice a change. It was getting harder to find certain websites and/or articles. Glenn Beck in particular. Sure, his website/article was still there, but instead of it being front and center, it was now 6 pages deep. Being naive to the whole censorship thing I even emailing support to ask why. Never did get a response through. I guess the whole thing is based on an algorithm and the popularity of the what's being searched. I was surprised by this. Not that the results were based on the topic being search but by the fact that "Glenn Back Wears Poop Pants" was so much more popular then his prognostication of an up-coming financial crash... which incidentally he was spot on with. I remember this because of the fact that he was so accurate. 2015 came and along with it Donald J. Trump. And just like every other Bay-area tech giant, Mozilla had a field day hiding, scrubbing, and deleting anything even remotely positive about Trump. And to say they aren't censoring is on the same level as CNN saying "America's most trusted name in news." This is a news agency that was sued into oblivion by a couple of teenage boys because of the lies CNN told the American public. I believe the Kyle kid was awarded $110 million.  Funnier still I use can't-say-it (LOL) for my searches and Brave for my web browser and I have never been lied to and always find what I'm looking for. But I will say Brave is beginning to disappoint me for the same reason - censoring anything that even remotely makes Trump look good. This is why I expect him to win come November in a HUGE landslide. Americans are sick of being played for stupid... and this is exactly what the tech industry and the main-stream news media have done for the last 25-plus years.

Now, how much do you want to bet that this post is gone by the end of next week?
