| Report: Emails Show Biden Campaign Demanding Facebook Censor Posts on Election Integrity |
| 2021-06-27 |
| [Breitbart] A number of emails seen by CNN ‐ which uses them to make the case that the platform isn't censoring enough ‐ show that the Biden campaign repeatedly pressured Facebook to censor posts from the Trump campaign and its supporters about election integrity. CNN's own reporting confirms that Facebook changed its policies following the email exchange with Biden officials, yet goes on to quote Democrat activists who complain that the platform is still not censoring enough conservative content. One post that the Biden campaign tried to have censored during the 2020 election was a video from Donald Trump Jr. in September 2020 calling for supporters to monitor early voting and counting boards. Biden campaign officials tried to characterize the video as a call for violence, because Don Jr used the term "army" to refer to the volunteer effort, claims that were rebuffed by Facebook. |

| #5 pancho, Campaign finance law is complicated but I doubt that simply making an illegal in-kind campaign contribution is a felony. Felonies might be created by lying under oath about it, obstructing an investigation, etc. Also, there is the issue of how the funds were accounted in the corporation. Campaign contributions are not an allowable business expense. |
