Most conservatives have known for years that Facebook is censoring us. I’ve written about it multiple times here at PJ Media, including about how they’ve throttled our content on the platform, reduced our reach, and decimated our revenue. Now, thanks to a lawsuit by the attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri, we’re getting a look at the internal machinations that led to censorship decisions and the extent to which the White House was involved—including a decision to censor conservative media figures Tucker Carlson and Tomi Lahren.
During the discovery phase of the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit, alleging social media censorship efforts by the Biden White House, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry unearthed documents proving that the government was directly involved in shutting down discussions related to the Covid pandemic—the most damning proof we’ve seen yet of First Amendment violations.
The revelations come via a series of emails between Biden administration officials and Facebook employees tasked with liaising with the White House. One email from Andrew Slavitt, senior advisor to Biden’s COVID-19 response coordinator, dated March 15, 2021, has the subject line, “You are hiding the ball.” Flaherty accuses Facebook of driving vaccine hesitancy. “We are gravely concerned that your service is one of the top drivers of vaccine hesitancy—period,” he wrote. “We want to know that you’re trying, we want to know how we can help, and we want to know that you’re not playing a shell game… This would all be a lot easier if you would just be straight with us.” The email goes on to ominously warn: “Internally we have been considering our options on what to do about it.”

Because we are a fascist dictatorship and don't like free speech.
Why censor him? He’s part of the show, as are all the talking heads.
Oh look, a squirrel!!
Please buy more bread at the circus gate, citizen.
If the proof is indeed lock tight, I’d go for a multi-million dollar law-suit for violation of First Amendment rights.
Should be a slam dunk if the proof is air-tight.
It’s amazing that people in high places use email to convey incriminating information.
When there is no accountability who cares if they leave a paper trail. They wear it as a badge of honor and get promotions.
It's natural for some to want others censored, that's not the problem.
The problem is the one (social media, Murdoch News etc.) that chooses to or institutes the censoring.

It wasn’t Biden himself that did this.
Biden can’t even spell Facebook.
It was his Puppet Masters at the White House.
The GOP-e would know this if they were not almost as dumb.
