White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday the Biden administration is identifying “problematic” posts for Facebook to censor because they contain “misinformation” about COVID-19.
Psaki disclosed the government role in policing social media during her daily press briefing after Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called on companies to purge more pandemic posts.
The demand for censorship — and Psaki’s admission of government involvement — follows a series of flip-flops from health officials who contradicted themselves throughout the pandemic on issues such as mask efficacy, as well as censorship of claims that later gained credibility, such as the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese lab.
“We are in regular touch with the social media platforms and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff and also members of our COVID-19 team — given as Dr. Murthy conveyed, this is a big issue, of misinformation, specifically on the pandemic,” Psaki said.

Sounds like facebook is a government actor. Say good bye to 230 protections. Sometimes I crack myself up.
Better title
“White House confirms Facebook is a branch of the Democrat party”
Exactly. Red states need to pull government departments from fakebook and ban facebook from state owned networks. This is war and only one side is fighting.
So, who, in the Federal Government, is searching social media for these posts, and how?
That is what intrigues and scares me.
Just take the jab,put on your face diaper and finish your Kool-Aid children.
So, why aren’t they flagging Fauci?
Open records, let’s get full disclosure.
Who is doing it (staff names), how much are we paying them, who made this policy, etc.
Facebook is the CIA.
Direct government censorship just like their friends in Cuba, China and Iran.
That has undoubtedly been outsourced to private actors as well. Soros funded networks of internet brown shirts who funnel their findings to a Joetato admin contact.
It’s all compartmentalized like a jihadi cell.
That is scary.
Who knows what they’ll flag and why?
Well this surely changes things.
They’re admitting this publicly? Wow.
Collusion.
RICO Laws.
Section 230.
President DeSantis will have an easy time putting Facebook in their place.
Facebook practically had their own offices in the Obama white house.
Did Nazi that coming
Who knows what they’ll flag and why?
I think we more or less know what they're flagging. Anything that hurts them and/or helps the right.
What scares me is that right now they seem more concerned about getting everybody vaxxed than they do about gun control, climate change or any other part of their usual agenda. Why is that so important?
Yeah, used to be that if the government induced a private third party to act in a manner that the government could not, it was deemed a State Action. Let’s see if the courts still have the fortitude to take that step here.
This strengthens Trumps civil suit
So if there is an adverse reaction that affects a certain group like young men or pregnant woman, the information will simply be purged from Facebook. The problem will still exist, it just won’t be acknowledged.
If you suffer with the problem, you will suffer alone and the problem will not be addressed or corrected.
Sounds like science to me.
