After admitting that government officials are flagging what they deem “misinformation” to Facebook for censorship, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration is exploring options to exercise more control over social media platforms.
“I don’t think we’ve taken any options off the table. That’s up to Congress to determine how they want to proceed moving forward,” Psaki said. “We are not in a war or a battle with Facebook. We are in a battle with the virus. The problem we’re seeing that our Surgeon General elevated last week is that… inaccurate information about vaccines is killing people.”
Psaki’s latest comments come after bragging last week about the White House’s collusion with Big Tech oligarchs to suppress dissent.
“We’ve increased disinformation research and tracking within the surgeon general‘s office,” Psaki said Thursday. “We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation. We’re working with doctors and medical professionals to connect medical experts who are popular with our audiences with accurate information and boost trusted content — so we are helping get trusted content out there.”
Top officials in the administration, including Biden himself, have alleged that Facebook and “misinformation” are killing people.
Psaki’s claims that the White House is “helping get trusted content out there” depends entirely on what the White House defines as “trusted content.” Various right-leaning outlets have been silenced by the administration in an effort to combat “misinformation,” leading many to speculate that the misinformation campaign is nothing more than an attempt to silence anyone weighing documented side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Just a follow up to Xiden saying our (GOD GIVEN) Constitutional Rights are not absolute.
Big Tech is the first thing everyone should TURN OFF
This must be that “Civil War” Biden keeps yapping about?
I can’t help but think that the plan, here, is to make us look like bigger pigs than China. When does Biden warm up the tanks?
We have political prisoners in the US, government controlled “Press” and blatant censorship. The Liberal Left are in full Jonestown mode.
Soon they’ll use the Pentagon and all those Brainwashed Boots
Star by removing all googlag searches.
“...the Biden administration is exploring options to exercise more control over social media platforms.”
The exact thing they accused the “Nazi” Trump admin of doing they’re actually doing.
“Silencing Dissent” is eliminating the 1st Amendment...
“inaccurate information about vaccines”...information like they’re totally safe?
The Bill of Rights is explicit as it says what the government can NOT do. That’s where the catch is for Biden pulling this cr**. If Biden is making an agreement with any media, the government is violating the constitution.
Everything is off the table, ya’ tyrannical scumbags.
They consider it a loop hole. As long as it’s big tech doing the actual censorship. These people are sick..
The Biden Admin knows nothing about anything before it stole the US
Seems like that “private company” excuse is losing it’s footing.
I don’t trust the White House
I don’t trust my cat
Both will eat you

Sounds like your “vaccines” are killing people.
This fascist crap has to end.
Is this the first time ever the White House has become so obsessed about one thing
