Critics roundly condemned the White House after press secretary Jen Psaki revealed the Biden administration is working with Facebook to flag "problematic" posts that "spread disinformation" on COVID-19.

On Thursday, Psaki was asked a question regarding the Biden administration’s request for tech companies to be more "aggressive" when policing what they referred to as "misinformation." Psaki revealed that the White House is "in regular touch with social media platforms" to handle it.

Is this over the line? I'm sure it's done with good intentions.

So now trump nation sides with the same big tech they hated just days ago?

Make up your minds.
 
Seems that the GOP would like to have their voters know the truth instead of die and be tossed off the voter rolls. Oh, well.

That should come as no surprise. The media, billionaire corporations, the entertainment industry, Wall Street, the education system and the DC ruling class have been working together for a couple of generations to create a Fascist/Marxist state. They can shut down a state or the country at will, and can even determine if the elected President is allowed to use their information platform. These are not the leftists of old; they are remaking the USA into a whole new nation and the common people don't matter.

And this pretty much ensures that Trump will win his lawsuit against Big Tech.

The White House has now made it on the record that they will be controlling the information, though it has been apparent fior some time. They'll tell you who to hate and you'll happily follow along.

This isn't the only thing they are doing/pushing for. Democrats are pushing to get phone companies to screen text messages. These are clearly 1A violations. It's one thing for a private company to do things but once government and industries merge to do it it's becomes something else.

There is no solace in this but they're doing the same thing in the UK and other democracies. Those on the left have no idea what they've helped create and won't until it's too late.

Some know what they are creating. They just think they can control the beast they are creating, not knowing they cannot in the end.

Once the government is working with a private entity to control free speech on that platform the government has censored that person's 1a right to free speech. The government shouldn't be telling private entities what speech to squelch or censor. Let the private entity do it solo, if they must, government is way over the line if they intervene.

Seems some of you only support the rights of those you like or agree with. Gonna burn some books next?

/// Gonna burn some books next? /// <---- Ain't gonna be Bob Woodward's book; the one in which Fat Donny admitted he lied to Americans about the severity of COVID-19 for personal political gain because "he was afraid Americans would panic", had he been truthful about the deadly virus.
