Not only did the Biden administration admit that what we and many other conservative media outlets have repeatedly asserted is true — that Big Tech is censoring conservatives — but it also acknowledged it’s colluding with social media oligarchs on what to censor. Hello, authoritarianism.
During Thursday’s White House press briefing, Biden spokeswoman Jen Psaki stated, “We are in regular touch with the social media platforms, and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff and also members of our COVID-19 team — given, as Dr. [Vivek] Murthy conveyed, this is a big issue of misinformation, specifically on the pandemic.”
Remarkably, Psaki sought to justify the collusion and the government-driven censorship, contending: “We’ve increased disinformation research and tracking within the Surgeon General’s Office. We are flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.” She added, “It’s important to take faster action against harmful posts … and Facebook needs to move more quickly to remove harmful, violative posts.”
