The Democratic National Committee and other White House allies want wireless carriers to scrutinize phone and social media messages for alleged misinformation about the Biden administration’s push to vaccinate more Americans against the coronavirus, Politico reported Monday.
According to the outlet, the White House is pushing back harder against critics of its messaging after failing to reach the goal of having 70 percent of American adults receive at least one vaccine dose by July 4.
Part of that effort, Politico reported, is “planning to engage fact-checkers more aggressively and work with SMS [Short Message Service] carriers to dispel misinformation about vaccines”.
One SMS message cited by the outlet, sent by Turning Point USA and co-founder Charlie Kirk, read: “Biden is sending goons DOOR-TO-DOOR to make you take a Covid-19 vaccine. Sign the petition to: No medical raids in America.”
“We are steadfastly committed to keeping politics out of the effort to get every American vaccinated so that we can save lives and help our economy further recover,” White House spokesperson Kevin Munoz told the outlet. “When we see deliberate efforts to spread misinformation, we view that as an impediment to the country’s public health and will not shy away from calling that out.” The latest flashpoint in the messaging battle is President Biden’s announcement last week that “we need to go community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood, and oftentimes, door-to-door — literally knocking on doors — to get help to the remaining people protected from the virus.”

Good question.
Maybe not yet?
It is a clear violation of our 1st and 4th Amendments. This is overreaching saying we can’t have our own opinions and talk to others.
Roberts will deem it okay on a temporary basis.

I don’t believe them that they are sending people door to door.
You made that up.......
No - this would just be to protect people from improper opinions regarding the health of everyone in the nation.
Well, at least until the next big budget thing or election year.
“People are texting false information regarding the $2 trillion plan to combat global warming which will directly affect the health and safety of....”
They have said they plan to and actually a nearby county where I live has a guide sheets for door-to-door door-knockers.
It is early in the process. Not sure how much ground has been covered...and you could be in a well-vaccinated area where they won’t be targeting as intently.
The form I saw from a nearby County Health Dept. said to disregard “No Soliciting” signs, because the door-knockers are not soliciting...they are sharing information. (I am serious!)
They think that if private corporations do it, they can foist any Commie totalitarian crap on us. But there’s no way the Feds partnering with private companies to police our speech is going to fly, for the same reason why cops just can’t send in some random civilian to break into your home.
Can you post it? I don’t trust Psaki and Biden.
I read that they’d be ignoring it as well....but we shall see if they do...or not.
We have just 3 covid in Hospital...two added this past week....but still very very low.
The fascist war against the First Amendment is horrifying.
The State Media is emboldened.
No one monitors our ‘public servants.’ Fauci lied on film stating proudly “YES” when asked if the ‘vaccines’ were FDA approved.
No vetting of disinformation from Fauci or the CDC because they have the Feds to protect them.
We the people are to victimized and lied to because the Federal government is preying on us.
Yes, because OFFICIALLY it is not the government doing it, just "friends" and "allies" of the government. That is how Biden gets around it.
Vet this: Covid is not going to kill you, unless it does. Everyone dies of something. They did before Covid came along. They will after it’s gone. Fauci is not even a competent liar. But he is a liar.
They are just slavering and slobbering at the idea of going full police state, aren’t they?
Three things:
1) This is right out of the Chinese communist playbook.
2) There must be something really effed up about the vaccine, the way they are pushing it so hard,
3) Wait until this policy — “we make it impossible to say things we do not like” — extends to the internet, to computers in general, to cell phones.
And in Oregon, the National Guard.
