White House flagged Facebook for censorship hesitancy

Emails uncovered in a lawsuit show Biden administration officials demanding Facebook censor a Tucker Carlson news segment about the controversial Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine (pictured above). The shot was pulled due to safety concerns but Facebook censored the video anyway after pressure to do so.


The discovery process in a federal lawsuit has unveiled how Facebook was shamed and bullied by the Biden administration to censor a Fox News segment about the COVID-19 vaccine, even though the segment about the controversial Johnson & Johnson shot was based in truth and supported by facts.

The current lawsuit, brought by Republican attorneys general in Louisiana and Missouri, has revealed email correspondence from 2021 that was triggered by a Tucker Carlson segment that was posted online and went viral. The video’s popularity upset the White House, and the now-public emails show how two White House officials requested Facebook hide it from view even after Facebook pointed out the Johnson & Johnson shot was under scrutiny….

…In a blistering email about promoting “vaccine hesitancy,” Flaherty accused Facebook of indirectly increasing “skepticism” about the 2020 election. He also accused the social media giant of being complicit in the January 20 “insurrection” because it was plotted and planned by Facebook users.

“I want some assurances, based in data,” Flaherty wrote, “that you are not doing the same thing again here.”…









“Understood,” a Facebook official replied.

Is this enough evidence? It is clear by now that conservatives and libertarians were right all along. Government was indeed using big tech social media to censor Americans, often using coercion in the process.

 

Oh, totally.

I mean, Facebook has long had a policy regarding the promotion of the anti-vax death cult's hateful lies intended to sicken and kill as many people as possible.

So this is definitely proves that Facebook does not like stupid and poorly informed people posting outrageous lies.

 

The let’s go Brandon regime actually is trying to censor and repress the 1st amendment free speech rights of Americans who disagree with them and is using big tech social media as its tool to do so whether they do it voluntarily or by coercion and pressure including threats of retaliation by regulation if they didn’t comply. Totally a violation of the 1st amendment

 

I just had my first facebook censor encounter yesterday. A friend posted a question: What is the worst song to play at a wedding? My answer was Guns and Roses' I used to love her but I had to kill her. Evidently, I was inciting violence. lol

 

Except that the Fox News report with Tucker Carlson was factually true and the White House coerced Facebook into censoring it anyway because it went against the state regime narrative

 

It definitely qualifies as the worst. Considering the context of the question and that it’s a real song, it should not have been censored.

 

What lies did Carlson tell? Were they about Russia, Putin, German banks, not paying taxes, Russian Mafia or MLK’s bust being removed from the Oval Office? If Facebook’s policy is to remove lies, then we would never see posts about Biden or his idiot press secretary on that platform.

 

Facebooks choice.

 

A Fox news report from Tucker Carlson was factually true.

 

In my best Tucker Carlson voice," Hey, I'm just asking questions here".

 

Because free speech rights include private forums with TOS.

 

during a pandemic, a national emergency declared by Trump, the government tried to prevent misinformation

 

I would like a list of all the post the Trump admin requested removed during his 4 years

the twitter files says the Trump admin did that, so let's see the tweets they requested removed

if Republicans want to show us they are not partisan, show us

 

LOL, great tune too.

 

If that were true, then why, WHY.

Curious as to how folks can NOT question and or defend the obvious? MPO, total disregard for logic and common sense ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

A Tucker Carlson news segment. Because Tucker Carlson is one hard hitting, objective news correspondent and not a huckster talk show host.

 

I bet Kid Rocks, FOAD wouldn't fly there or here for that matter

 

Clearly the DNC deemed it not meant for the sensitive ears of the left! I suppose the best thing is to sensor anything that challenges their indoctrination of their followers

Personally, I'd be insulted having any information censored by the Government! But I understand where the left is on this issue and how they place DNC interpretation above even their own thoughts and curiosities

 

I just think it is funny that anyone things a poor version of an opinion show that often includes overt racism and espouses disease and death is a news segment.

 

Oh I get it, so does the DNC, and that's why the coddle their base by censoring all the things that might make them think for themselves

 

Do you call the DNC news?

 

Please show where in the 1st Amendment is the right to lie, or for that "speech" to harm others......

 

Weeelllll, if they are censoring it from their tender base, then sadly, YES

Clearly they can't handle it!

 

Show where it says you can't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
