Well, here we go again.
Even after being exposed for interfering with First Amendment free speech rights during the 2020 election and after the Biden admin pretended to pull back, they just can't help themselves.
They've gotta make sure the 2024 elections are just as free and fair as 2020.
And the best way to do that is to make social media and big tech companies listen to the government's demands to censor speech.
Key federal agencies have resumed discussions with social media companies over removing disinformation on their sites as the November presidential election nears, a stark reversal after the Biden administration for months froze communications with social platforms amid a pending First Amendment case in the Supreme Court, a top senator said Monday.
Mark Warner, D-Va., who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters in a briefing at RSA Conference that agencies restarted talks with social media companies as the Supreme Court heard arguments in Murthy v. Missouri, a case that first began in the Fifth Circuit appellate court last July. The case was fueled by allegations that federal agencies like the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency were coercing platforms to remove content related to vaccine safety and 2020 presidential election results.
Right. So the last discussion between Big Tech and CISA and the other Feds involved censoring conservative voices who were spreading "disinformation" about the 2020 election, Hunter Biden, Covid, and all the other conspiracies that turned out to be true. So, even though they've been taken to court, the Feds have decided that they need to resume their meddling.
Because, you know, we need to protect Democracy™ and all that.
For around six months, agencies chilled their communications with social firms about election security and other disinformation flash points. Warner previously said that White House lawyers had been "too timid" in their legal interpretation of the case, especially given that the high court allowed the Biden administration to temporarily continue their talks until a ruling was made.
Officials fear that a loss of faith in electoral systems at home could lead to a repeat of the widespread voter fraud claims that occurred during the 2020 presidential election, which ended in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. On the domestic front, content moderator staff reductions at social media companies have also been deemed a major risk to election integrity, and election workers worry they will face threats of violence from voters who don't accept the polling results.
If we don't stop people from talking online we might get another insurrection!
After all, 17% of voters would have switched their vote from Biden if they had heard one of the scandals in 2020 that Big Tech and the alphabet agencies suppressed!
So throw the First Amendment out the window. It's too dangerous!
Another "free and fair" fortified election for 2024!
