How much more Orwellian can ya get?

"This is something that we're certainly keeping an eye on," Jean-Pierre said. "Look, we have always been very clear that when it comes to social media platforms it is their responsibility to make sure that when it comes to misinformation, when it comes to the hate that we’re seeing, that they take action, that they continue to take action. Again, we're all keeping a close eye on this."

How about: how much more dishonest?

Keeping an eye on. Good lord. Because if it's a Democrat talking they must obviously mean putting two-way monitoring systems in every room and putting peoples' heads in boxes of rats until they love the party, I guess.

Of course they're going to keep an eye on Twitter. Twitter is just part of how we got 1/6. No doubt that was just a little kegger and nothing to worry about. But "keeping our eye on", my God, it's gotta mean Full Orwell.

Same hackish schtick every time with Fox. Why do you keep falling for it?

Oh come on. The MAGA types have been doing more than 'keeping a close eye' on Twitter and the rest. We've had dozens of threads of right wingers whining about how they're run, and Florida and Texas both passed laws putting onerous new restrictions on those entities. Now you're whining the Biden WH is 'keeping an eye' on those companies? :ROFLMAO: 🤪

Maybe you've started threads about those MAGA efforts, actual legislation, passed by MAGA republicans in the legislatures and signed by MAGA governors, being Orwellian. I look forward to your cites showing this.
 
Biden's white house = Gestapo HQ (or KGB/FSB HQ if you prefer) who regularly monitors the speech of American citizens. Disgraceful.

This is the land of free speech and Biden's WH certainly is not a moderator of such speech in any way.

Democrats obviously changed the 2020 election by sending FBI agents out to Twitter, Facebook, and others to approve favorable democrat posts while blocking anything anti-democrat party.

Both sides want to control the information while claiming it’s the other side trying to manipulate you.

A slightly moldy tunafish sandwich and a bottle of cyanide are both poor lunch choices but it doesn't feel like they should be compared in such a fashion.

Then you shouldn’t try and stretch yourself in a position to make such stupid comparisons.

If I was Twitter King for a Day, the first thing I'd do is auto-delete any Tweet with "both sides" in it. It would be a good idea on DP.
