Critics slam the White House after Psaki reveals it's consulting with Facebook to 'flag misinformati

This is a direct violation of the first amendment freedom of speech
I know you liberals love to argue it only applies to government that cant deny you freedom of speech but private companies can
but here is the evidence that government is getting involved with denying freedom speech by directing private companies to do it for them

 

and here is more of this crap

Report: Twitter Reports Surge in Government Demands to Censor the News
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2021...rge-in-government-demands-to-censor-the-news/

 

By "critics" you mean Fox News?

 

I read something about YouTube removing the "thumbs up/thumbs down" button on certain videos posted there. I'm not sure if it was a part of this but I think the crackdown is more about not allowing countless people to congregate and plan something against the government.

I'm not an R or D and I saw this happening when Trump was in office as well.

 

Sorry dude - a "request" is neither a demand nor a law nor a Federal requirement.
Trump "requested" that media do all sorts of things when he complained about "fake news" ...
This thread is a fail.

 

.

Maybe Biden is psychic.... he keeps comparing current events to the "Civil War"




.

 

and me and every other freedom loving posters on these forums

 

And when that so-called "request" is done under intimidation or an implied benefit

 

Yes because liking or disliking a video is a conspiracy to overthrow the government

 

Not to the reasoned.

In fact, it is morally and ethically compulsory to demand truth.

 

You mean hypocrites. Got it.

 

Are you implying Facebook is news? What happened to Comedy Central?

 

no it's not, they can ask all they want, they can't force them too

Trump asked football management to fire football players for kneeling, was that a crime

Trump supporters still can lie about covid, just the government is asking for them to fact-check and add the facts below their post

 

How so? Facebook is full of opinions and not ‘news’ like, cough cough, Maddow or Lemon

 

and when done under intimidation or implied benefit
most companies know better than to not do what a government request
it usually doesn't go well for that company if they don't

 

Opinion is acceptable in the absence of fact, not in conflict with it.

 

was the government pushing anti-smoking propaganda on local tv anti-free speech?

 

what intimidation or implied benefit?

 

In case you haven’t noticed, facts about the China virus are moving targets that seem to change with the wind. Remember when it wasn’t transferable human to human? In fact, the facts often seem to be what China wants them to be.

 

I didn't say that so that's all YOU.

 

Sometime a "request" is actually a little more than a "request."

 

**Also known as State Ran Media**

 

Does it bug you that a media outlet refuses the states demands?

 

yep, after the last four years, the right can't whine about this with a straight face

 

Hard to ask the media that is owned by an obvious political party to act against itself I suppose
