A secretive Whitehall “spy” unit has been used by the Government to target social media posts criticising migrant hotels and “two-tier policing”.

The Telegraph can reveal that officials working for Peter Kyle, the Technology Secretary, have flagged videos with “concerning narratives” to social media giants including TikTok, warning that they were “exacerbating tensions” on the streets.

The emails did not ask for the content to be removed, but requested that TikTok explained how it was dealing with it.

Government sources denied that officials had censored the posts, insisting the unit’s role was to monitor online “trends” and point out where platforms’ own rules had been broken.

The amusing part of that article is that the information came from Jim Jordan, the House Speaker in the USA, who was complaining about other Countries supposed censorship laws - this, from a man whose country insists you have allow them access to your social media if you want to visit the USA, and who removed any references to Medal and Gallantry winners if they were Black.

Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed from its website information and educational materials about the history of black and female service members.
Some of the content removed from the site was on veterans who had received the nation's highest military recognition, the Medal of Honor, according to military news site Task & Purpose.

The content removal is part of a larger effort by President Donald Trump to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices in the military and throughout the federal government.

Approximately 400,000 veterans are buried in the Army-run cemetery, which was established after the US Civil War at the home of the South's general, Robert E. Lee.

On the cemetery's website, internal links that directed users to webpages with information about the "Notable Graves" of dozens of black, Hispanic and female veterans were missing on Friday.

The pages contained short biographies about veterans such as Gen Colin L Powell, the first black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is the highest rank in the military after the president.

They also told the life stories of members of the Tuskegee Airmen, the country's first black military airmen.

Earlier this year, the Defense Department had to reinstate training materials on the revered airmen after a national outcry over their removal following Trump's orders on DEI.

Information on Hector Santa Anna, a World War II bomber pilot and career military leader who has been called a hero of the war, has been taken down, as well.
