As the Biden administration pressured Big Tech companies to censor Americans’ speech during the COVID vaccine rollout, Google’s YouTube went along with the White House’s requests before Facebook was pressured to follow suit, according to documents shared with House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and obtained by The Daily Wire.
In an April 18, 2021, email, Facebook President for Global Affairs Nick Clegg expressed concern after Andy Slavitt, a senior White House advisor, told him that Facebook was “lagging behind” as YouTube “made significant advances to remove content leading to vaccine hesitancy.”
Earlier this year, Jordan began releasing the “Facebook Files,” showing that the Biden administration pressured the social media giant to stifle speech the White House didn’t like, including limiting outlets such as The Daily Wire’s reach on the platform and boosting the reach of legacy media outlets.
Flaherty in emails released by Jordan earlier this year, suggested that Facebook to “change the algorithm so that people were more likely to see [New York Times], [Wall Street Journal], any authoritative news source over The Daily Wire.”
Comment:
Censorship is a symptom of tyranny, authoritarianism and totalitarianism.
Isn't it amazing that the Democrats keep accusing Trump of being an authoritarian? How?
Censorship is an assault on freedom of speech.
It's amazing that the Crazy Democrat Cult keeps saying that they are saving our "democracy".
