“It [social media] is going to be politicized, it's going to become a partisan issue. And that's really unfortunate, because this isn't about COVID. It's not about left or right. This is about the government interfering with speech,” Misty Winston, political activist, organizer, and host of The Misty Winston Show, told Sputnik.

He added that he believes in the possibility of establishing working contacts with China that would be beneficial for both countries in the future.

Campaigners seek Trump's disqualification from 2024 election on grounds of Jan. 6 riots
Two civil rights organizations, Mi Familia Vota and Free Speech for People, are initiating a campaign to persuade state governments to bar former President Donald Trump from running in the 2024 election. They claim that secretaries of state can use their authority, granted by the US Constitution's 14th Amendment, to reject Trump's qualification or eligibility due to his alleged involvement in the Capitol insurrection that occurred on January 6, 2021.
Beginning on Sunday, the groups will organize a series of gatherings and display banners outside the offices of the secretaries of state in California, Oregon, Colorado, and Georgia.
