When you talk to my Surgeon General you have to speak with a slight Indian accent.
I'm not kidding!

U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said Tuesday on MSNBC that not only the government, but Big Tech companies have a role to play when it comes to censoring so-called “misinformation” and curating “accurate” information to the public.
Murthy made the comments after he was specifically asked by MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski about alleged misinformation on Joe Rogan’s highly popular “The Joe Rogan Experience” and general Facebook posts.
“What do you think are the best ways to push back on misinformation about COVID that continues to be aggressively pushed, whether it be Joe Rogan’s podcast or all over Facebook?” the host asked Murthy, according to The Blaze.
“We can have the best science available, we can have the best public health expertise available. It won’t help people if they don’t have access to accurate information,” the Biden-appointed surgeon general answered, adding, “People have the right to make their own decisions, but they also have the right to have accurate information to make that decision with.”
Big Tech companies, Murthy said, have an “important role to play” since they are the “predominant places where we’re seeing misinformation spread.”
“This not just about what the government can do,” he emphasized, “this is about companies and individuals recognizing that the only way we get past misinformation is if we are careful about what we say and use the power that we have to limit the spread of misinformation.”
Legacy media, left-wing activists, and Democrat politicians have routinely called to censor Rogan as his podcast continues to succeed with the general public.

When is big tech going to censor people who say that a person us born gay? Science says that there is no gay gene. Shouldn’t anyone who says otherwise be silenced?
Fascist. If you don't present all sides and argue out the truth in public where everyone can see it, it isn't science. It's just Fauci, fascist fraud.
Indeed, all tech has “important role”.
You are fascists and wish “private” business to be your henchmen, as they follow your rules themselves.

Just another Brit trying to tell Americans how to run their country ... maybe he should go back and join the NHS where it is government policy ... NHS where people go to die.
F*ck these fascists.
This is the guy that’s a hologram.
Why is it that so many of Biden’s people in positions of power are foreigners.....this one born in England. Heads of Google and Twitter born in India and every time I read something about ‘we should censor so and so’ it’s from some foreigner.... Xenophobia you say? Yes. I say..
Only an utter moron would believe that Joe Rogan’s podcast is preventing anyone from having access to accurate information.
Such a claim is totally void of logic.
Further, CENSORSHIP, which is precisely what they’re advocating DOES prevent access to information.
There is no greater tyranny than for someone to claim the right to control your very thoughts.
Gosh, whatever happened to COUNTER arguments? That theory is wrong because...
Free speech is only for the democrat commies!
Then put the “approved” experts on Joe Rogan’s show to counter the “misinformation.” I recall Joe Rogan humiliated the CNN “expert” Gupta, for lying. And of course it is only “the right information” brought to you by Pfizer.
This is the 1960s generation in control....they were communists then and they are communists now.
They went from “question authority” to “we are the authority and cannot be questioned”
They went from fighting against materialism to become the most greedy and selfish generation.
Extremely long read by this Canadian author, but worth it.

“And so, my reply to Dr. Fauci, to Klaus Schwab, to Justin Trudeau, and to all those who share their authoritarian vision of the world and are working so hard to control us for the “greater good of society”, I say to them: My individual autonomy is not negotiable. No matter the cost. In a free and open society, individual freedom is the only greater good.”
It is obvious by now, that “the scientists” just ignored the cures. They put everything on social distancing, masks and vaccines. They just pooh-pooh everything which could (maybe) help the sick.
I do not know what the best cure is, but neither do “the scientists” in charge!
No wonder Rogan is popular! He just states the obvious.
Hey what do you know. Another autocratic Indian in a position of authority in the USA.
Born in England, hometown is in India, American citizen and surgeon general, what a racist country we are.
WOW...Got first Amendment?
I think the word should be cancelled not censored, shame on this stupid attorney general.
