Jim Jordan just released the Kraken.
Internal government documents subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee show that the Biden administration exercised pressure on Facebook and Instagram to get the social media platforms to censor posts they didn't like.
(And I wondered why most of our readers come from Twitter now.)
The Biden administration isn't quite dumb enough to censor speech openly, so they covertly censored conservatives on Facebook and IG through governmental pressures and threatening Meta.
Jordan has a complete rundown on his Twitter, but here are some of the highlights.
In early 2021, Zuckerberg's flunkie sent a company-wide email informing the staff that they needed to step up their "misinformation" efforts, censoring conservatives, because of pressure from the Biden White House.
Andy Slavitt, a Biden advisor, even emailed Facebook asking them to take down a particularly dangerous meme.
Yes, a meme.
Even Facebook's people objected to this on First Amendment grounds, but the president's men didn't care.
This episode is one of many where Biden and his team demanded censorship from Facebook. But this was highlighted by Jordan 1) because it's ridiculous and 2) because Facebook recognized it as a line crossed.
But they proudly crossed the line and continued to overstep.
The Biden White House threatened Facebook to take down the meme and censor people, and Facebook folded like a cheap suit.
Jordan also reveals documents showing that Biden's White House DEMANDED Facebook take down a Tucker Carlson video. Facebook killed the traffic on the story, cutting its potential reach in half, but that wasn't enough for the White House.
Even though the video broke no Facebook rules and included no "misinformation," Tucker Carlson's free speech was stymied by the government/Big-Tech connection.
Even after this, the Biden White House applied public pressure, saying Facebook was killing people with these memes and "misinformation," resulting in Facebook caving AGAIN and adjusting its policy to appease the White House, as well as demands from the Surgeon General.
Jordan promises more documents to come, but reveals Facebook has been ANYTHING but cooperative with Republicans:
