As many of you know, First Lady Melania Trump has chosen putting an end to “cyberbulling” as her personal project.
She delivered a speech on the topic to the UN recently…

Now she’s ready to get the ball rolling… and is meeting with major tech companies to find a solution.
According to Daily Mail:
First lady Melania Trump is bringing together tech giants to talk about ways to fight cyberbullying and promote internet safety, representatives of three companies said Tuesday.
Among the companies expected to attend the March 20 meeting: Amazon, Snap, Facebook, Google and Twitter.
The meeting was confirmed by Amazon and representatives of two companies speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plans publicly.
Here’s my question…
Many of these companies have done their very best to eliminate conservative voices from the discussion. Believe me… we’ve felt it here at Chicks On The Right (which is why we ALWAYS ask that you come directly to our site, and stop relying on Facebook to show you our content! They’re purposely edging us out!)
These companies consider any and all Conservative views “hateful” and “bigoted” …SIMPLY for being conservative.
So. Will this push to end “cyberbullying” only further empower them to squelch anyone who doesn’t agree with the liberal narrative?
Will anyone who DARES say that there are two genders, or that the Kardashians are everything that’s wrong with our society be automatically stomped out for being a “bully”?
It’s a danger we should be acutely aware of… because it’s already happening.
FLOTUS has all of the best intentions with this… and I DO believe that the harmful effects of bullying and social media on children need to be addressed… but it’s something to keep in mind.
Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman for Mrs. Trump, said in a statement that Mrs. Trump ‘has simply asked for a meeting to discuss one of the many things that impacts children – as she has done many times in the past, on several different topics.’
The meeting, first reported by The Washington Post, would mark Mrs. Trump’s first public event on a subject she has previously expressed interest in. During the first year of her husband’s administration, she played a low-key role.
Her interest in children has been clear, with visits to schools and hospitals. In her first public remarks at the United Nations last year, Mrs. Trump called on world leaders to come together for the good of their children, saying: ‘We must remember that they are watching and listening, so we must never miss an opportunity to teach life’s many ethical lessons along the way.’
Of course… she’s already received criticism from the left… both because of President Trump’s Twitter use… and because she’s “taking too long.”
During the presidential campaign, Melania Trump mentioned doing work to address bullying – a notable choice given the president-elect’s penchant for name-calling on social media.
It can take some time for a first lady to launch personal projects. Michelle Obama began her ‘Let’s Move’ initiative about a year into her husband’s first term.
We’ll have to wait and see how this all pans out.
