Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Meta’s foreign relations on April 9
Josh Hawley: In 2017, the Chinese dissident Guo Wengui (Miles Guo) suddenly had his Facebook profile shut down. Now, Facebook at first said that this was a temporary glitch. Was that true to your knowledge?
Sarah Wynn-Williams: No, centrally.
Josh Hawley: In fact, Facebook shut down this dissident's page. This dissident, as you pointed out a moment ago, was living on American soil at the time. Facebook shut down that page based on pressure from the Chinese Communist Party. Is that accurate?
Sarah Wynn-Williams: That's accurate.
Josh Hawley: So here we have evidence of high-level contacts between Chinese Communist Party officials and Facebook, asking for this dissident's page to be taken down. Facebook acknowledging this pressure, saying we need to do something if we want to get the party's cooperation, the government's cooperation. And what happened next?
Sarah Wynn-Williams: Well, Senator Hawley, one thing the Chinese Communist Party and Mark Zuckerberg share is that they want to silence their critics. I can say that from a personal experience. So I think they came to the right man. This led to a series of events where eventually this man on American soil was kicked off the platform.
Josh Hawley: So in April of 2017, following these conversations, Facebook takes down the profile, bans it, of Mr. Guo. Then in September, they make that ban permanent.
Josh Hawley: Senator Rubio asked him directly, was there any pressure from the Chinese government to block his account? Was there any pressure to block his account? The General Counsel, Mr. Stretch, no, Senator. We reviewed a report on that account and analyzed it through regular channels, using regular procedures. Was this truthful testimony, Ms. Williams?
Sarah Wynn-Williams: No, Senator.
Josh Hawley: It's in fact an outright lie, is it not?
Sarah Wynn-Williams: It is, Senator.
Josh Hawley: We just saw the documentation. Facebook received not just a request, Facebook received direct pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and bowed to it and discussed it internally and planned it and then lied about it to Congress.

Even though Trump could use his Presidential powers to remove activist Judges, it would be better politically for the people to unite and demand our lawmakers use their power to do it;
It's time to start reforming our beliefs about the fairness and impartionality and power limits of the American justice system. And doing something about it by demanding we get our rightful power back to decide the direction our Nation will take.
The only way to effectively do that, is to demand our State Legislatures petition Congress for a States Amendment convention. It's listed in Article-V of the Constitution, and was put there by our Founders, the Framers of the Constitution, to insure the people had a peaceful way to overrule any decisions our elected and/or appointed leaders do something the majority did not approve of.
An Article-V called for by the States, requires Congress to call it then step back and allow the people to decide what they want in the Amendment. Congress has no control over any amendment proposal, or any authority to change the wording of it. However, All proposed amendments must contain approved wording by the delegates to the states called convention, the safeguards in place for a Congressional amendment convention are fully in place for a states called convention, Congress must send all proposals out to all 50 states for Ratification by vote of approval by the people tell their States through an open vote, how their States will vote on the Ratification. It takes a vote by 3/4 of the States to approve a new amendment or the modification or removal of an existing one. The basic Constitution CAN NOTbe opened or it's wording changed by an Article-V convention by either the Congress or the people. Contrary to what the politicians want you to believe, an Article-V is not a Constitutional Convention to open the basic Constitution, it only has the power to add or remove Amendments. The scare tactics you hear to the contrary are from politicians and other power brokers/elites/billionaires, who are afraid of losing their power over the people.
It's not the Judges or even Congress who should have the final say.
The Highest Authority in the United States are the PEOPLE of the United States.
