Faced with imminent contempt of Congress charges, Mark Zuckerberg has finally agreed to cooperate with the GOP probe on Big Tech-government collusion.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) called off a markup session to formally file contempt of Congress charges against Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, citing Facebook’s “newfound commitment” to the Judiciary Committee investigation into censorship collusion. However, Jordan hinted at the extent of Facebook’s incestuous relationship with government entities for the purpose of censoring Americans. In a related bombshell revelation, Jordan unleashed the “Facebook Files” on Thursday detailing how the Biden White House coerced Facebook to assault Americans’ First Amendment rights to free speech on its platform.
In a now-viral Twitter thread, Jordan announced what he described as “Never-before-released” internal documents. The information included one email, dated April 2021, from a Facebook employee confirming the Biden regime’s scheme against free speech. “We are facing continued pressure from external stakeholders, including the [Biden] White House and the press to remove more COVID-19 vaccine discouraging content,” one unnamed employee told Zuckerberg and former Meta Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg.
MRC Vice President Dan Schneider voiced his criticism in reaction to the bombshell release. “Biden’s number one tactic for reelection is silencing conservatives and he is using every tool, legal and illegal, at his disposal to keep the public ignorant of his disastrous performance,” Schneider said. “We should be shocked to see how he and his staff coerced Big Tech to do their illegal bidding, but it is no surprise at all for those who are following this story.” Jordan echoed Schneider's remarks, blasting the Biden administration in an interview on Thursday on Fox News's The Ingraham Angle.
In a separate email, Meta Global Affairs President Nick Clegg implicated former White House Senior Advisor Andy Slavitt as being “outraged” that Facebook did not comply with its censorship demand. Specifically, Clegg said, “[Slavitt] was outraged – not too strong of a word to describe his reaction — that we did not remove this post which was third most highly ranked post in the data we sent to him.”
As if that evidence wasn’t shocking enough, what came next was nothing short of damning. “What did the Biden White House want removed?” asked Jordan in the Twitter thread. “A meme. That’s right, even memes weren’t spared from the Biden White House’s censorship efforts.” The subject meme made a joke about potential COVID-19 vaccine injuries.
The White House censorship demands were so draconian and broad that it ignited Meta’s concerns that Biden was going after constitutionally-protected speech. According to Jordan, “When Clegg ‘countered that removing content like that would represent a significant incursion into traditional boundaries of free expression in the US,’ Slavitt disregarded the warning and the First Amendment.”
One reporter pressed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre over the newly released information detailing the Biden administration's Orwellian actions. “How much is the White House now working with social media companies to remove concerned posts or things they didn't want,” asked Fox White House Correspondent Edward Lawrence. Jean-Pierre, of course, dodged the question, claiming: “As I’ve repeated many times from here, we have promoted responsible actions to protect public health, safety and security one confronted by challenges like a deadly pandemic and foreign attacks on our elections.”
Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us using CensorTrack’s contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable
Zuckerberg is a sleazy like f###.
little
Yep.
There are a few good people running high tech companies now.
Zuck isn’t one of them.
Ok fine, but what will it accomplish? Nothing
Like stacking ping pong balls in the wind.
Zuck, Musk and the like have all been CIA/Deep State cutouts from the start.
Amazingly, many Freepers are in denial about this.

Doable just need a dab of thick grease between each one.

“The Most Embarrassing “Facebook Files” Revelation? The Press, Exposed as Censors”
Few things are more beautiful than a corrupt smug billionaire in bed with corrupt smug political power centers, whos facing jail time.
.
What it does is allow Jim “Big Tech” Jordan to pass the responsibility for 2020 censorship from the tech co’s to the gov’t - which is exactly what Jordan’s tech donors want.
Also note that Nick “Remainder Swamp” Clegg at Facebook is claiming they stood up for free speech against gov’t censorship demands.
See, Big Tech is actually the free speech good guys / SARC
Not to mention the 1-200K dismissed from Twitter on that interesting January 6th, for “Violating Twitter’s Rules”, most of whom have yet to be allowed back.
>>>Zuckerberg is a sleazy like f###.
I’ll second that!
LOL. I once paraphrased Fred Sanford, saying that Maxine Waters should press her face in some dough and make gorilla cookies. See my tag line.
He kills animals for thrills, he says no meat is wasted but he lies, and he kills viscerally -- spears, archery ... he would probably pop a chub at the idea of freeforming a flint blade against a newborn doe yearling lofl.
No Freeper objects to hunting but exposing Suckerberg's pathetic "Alien vs Predator" obsession to the FB masses (and the FRacebookers who should.not.be.on.FB), no one has ever seriously punched down on Mark for this Marvel wannabe fetishism, this Achilles heel on this weaponized autist.
Shit up his brand, ffs. And do it on Threads, how fitting!
And if you are on FB, GTFO!
The Zuck doesn’t have to hide and dodge, and he doesn’t have to interact with the government. He already knows what he’s supposed to do.
He gets a pass, even though there is by volume more hate speech and child endangerment on his platforms than any of the others - perhaps all of the others combined. It’s futile to try to police it... and very expensive. AI may do it for him.
His new Threads thing has totally crumbled as a competitor to Twitter (Now, Twitter X or just X not sure). They got a 100 million sign ups in the first few days, but then little to no actual use of the site. I would venture a guess that a lot of people on the internet and social sites actually enjoy the fighting. They don’t want to be censored, shadowbanned, or live in a bubble.
And as a side note, I hate AppleNews. It is the absolute worst bubble of crap and I ain’t givin them no $9.99 a month to read garbage they want to feed me. I can go to Taco Bell.
I gather you are a Canadian. Why don’t you stick to something you know.
