Good day all. We known for a few years now that Big Tech and Socialist Media have been actively censoring anything that doesn’t fit the progressive narratives. Thanks to Elon Musk and the Twitter files, we also know that the FBI and the Biden Maladministration were actively suppressing the 1st Amendment rights of Americans.
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, has been hauled up in front of Congress several times and has managed to tap dance his way out of a Contempt of Congress or Perjury charge. However, Monday August 27th, Zuckerberg admitted what we all know. The Biden-Harris maladministration had pressured him, and by extension, others to censor people’s speech. Here are the details from Fox Business News:
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter on Monday that his company, Facebook, was pressured by the Biden-Harris administration to censor Americans, particularly regarding COVID-19 content.
Zuckerberg made the admission in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, more than a year after providing the committee with thousands of documents as part of its investigation into content moderation on online platforms.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Zuckerberg is seeing the writing on the wall and has decided that it was time to come clean. I suspect that the next congress may not be as polite to him as the current one and he doesn’t like the look of orange jumpsuits as his only wardrobe.
Along with documents, the Meta CEO said, the company has provided a dozen employees to be available for transcribed interviews, stressing Meta’s cooperation with the investigation.
“There’s a lot of talk right now around how the U.S. government interacts with companies like Meta, and I want to be clear about our position,” Zuckerberg wrote. “Our platforms are for everyone – we’re about promoting speech and helping people connect in a safe and secure way. As part of this, we regularly hear from governments around the world and others with various concerns around public discourse and public safety.”
The last thing these governments want is public discourse. We’ve seen how the EU has been threatening Elon Musk and France just arrested the founder of Telegram because he wouldn’t censor speech they don’t approve of. Add to that the recent stupidity by the London Metro Police commission threatening to file charges and extradite Americans and you can see just how far gone these totalitarian elites are.
He told Jordan that in 2021, “senior officials” from the Biden administration and White House “repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire.”
The people running the Biden-Harris Maladministration are hard leftists who absolutely despise anyone who doesn’t follow the Progressive narratives. Basically, they went after anyone who questioned the Health Bureaucracies directives. The DoJ and the rest of the Deep State didn’t have to much of a problem with the original management of Twitter, Google etc. Most of them agreed with the Deep State and were happy to censor, cancel and deplatform anyone, primarily conservatives who dared to say something, or make a joke that the Progressives didn’t like.
When Facebook did not agree with the censorship, Zuckerberg said, the Biden administration expressed a lot of frustration.
“Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure,” Zuckerberg wrote. “I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it.
“I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today,” he added. “Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards to pressure from any Administration in either direction – and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens.”
Frankly, I do not believe Zuckerberg at all. Faceplant is still censoring people, primarily those who are right of center. The most blatant case in recent memory was the incredible picture of President Trump right after the assassination attempt. Facebook took the now iconic picture down calling it fake and AI generated.
Zuckerberg actually apologized for that one after getting bitch slapped by half the planet. I’ve had several posts pulled down even though I was commenting on actual, factual news items. Frankly, I’m surprised they haven’t closed down my page and booted me from the platform.
A White House spokesperson responded to Fox News, “When confronted with a deadly pandemic, this administration encouraged responsible actions to protect public health and safety. Our position has been clear and consistent: we believe tech companies and other private actors should take into account the effects their actions have on the American people, while making independent choices about the information they present.”
This is a typical response from the worst administration in 150 years. The level of contempt of the Constitution by people sworn to uphold it is stunning. The so called President*, Joe Biden, is senile and should be dying in prison after all the corruption, bribery, money laundering and extortion he and the rest of the Biden Crime Family carried out. I’m not at all surprised that they will do anything they can to insure the “Glorious Rule for all time of the Democrat Party! Long live the Party!” Willfully violating the constitutional rights of the American people means nothing to them. After all, they are the party of slavery.
I think the only real reason Zuckerberg wrote that letter, other then keeping his scrawny ass out of prison, is to protect Facebook’s protection under section 230 of the Telecommunications act. There are a lot of people, mostly conservative, but a couple of Democrats, thinking that Facebook, Google and a few others need to lose it. Since they willingly followed orders from their Deep State masters? Yeah, they should and soon.
