Facebook censored Americans under pressure from Biden administration
2023-07-28
[PM.] It has been revealed that Meta's Facebook and Instagram censored Americans and altered content moderation policies at the behest of the Biden administration amid a crackdown on Covid-19 "misinformation."

The platforms removed a number of posts, including memes, that went against the official narrative regarding public health measures and vaccines.

House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan obtained copies of internal documents purporting to show pressure being placed on the social media giants by the Biden administration.

In April 2021, for example, an email to CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg was circulated by a Facebook employee in which the sender stated that they were "facing continued pressure from external stakeholders, including the [Biden] White House and the press, to remove more COVID-19 vaccine discouraging content."

They added that a "list of the top 100 vaccine-related posts" was recently shared with the administration, and that officials had asked them to delete a "vaccine discouraging humorous meme."

#3  not sure how this could be prosecuted

I think best method is conspiracy to deprive citizens of constitutional rights. The problem of course is that the US DOJ was part of the conspiracy.

#2  IF it can be proven,
will the US-Feds and Zuckerberg be held liable for violating Constitutional free speech?

Plus, what is to keep a President from issuing a Pardon. based on possible justified violations due to a Global Scamdemic?

#1  Well, I don't think they had to have much 'pressure' to do so. Sort of like the locals who joined the real Nazis in rounding up and shipping out Jews in Europe '39-'45.
