Harris' deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty pushed tech companies to crack down on 'vaccine misinformation'...

A current top campaign adviser for VP Kamala Harris was deeply involved in pushing Facebook to suppress "misinformation" in an effort to control the political narrative on COVID and other issues.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter on Monday while expressing regret that his company, Facebook, was pressured by the Biden-Harris administration to censor Americans, particularly regarding COVID-19 content, bringing to the forefront actions taken by Harris' deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty as part of that pressure campaign.

Flaherty, who previously served as the White House director of digital strategy, helped lead the campaign to target alleged "misinformation" relating to the COVID-19 virus and its vaccinations...

Flaherty emailed Google team members in April 2021 to "connect […] about the work you’re doing to combat vaccine hesitancy, but also crack down on vaccine misinformation,"

Flaherty continued asking for trends surrounding vaccine misinformation on the website, while offering government assistance in the form of COVID experts at the White House to partner in product work with YouTube.

Google, in an internal email, noted that after a subsequent meeting with Flaherty, the White House staffer "particularly dug in on our decision making for borderline content" – which is content that doesn’t cross Community Guidelines but rather brushes up against it, according to YouTube.

A week later, Google acknowledged that it sent the White House the total amount of videos removed for COVID vaccine misinformation, while discussing the government’s desire for even more data.

...

Flaherty asked Facebook if they could provide government agencies with special access to tools to target users in 2021.

...

how to convince people worried about side effects around the COVID vaccine to take it.

In February 2021 I could find info about Hong Kong Flu being a SARS like Covid 19.

I had HKF in 1968 when I was 19, so I figured I had immunity to this new one which it turns out I did have...

Months later I couldnt find anything.

They are men and women of dirty name.

We need to compose a list of these fascist pigs with a short description of each of their transgressions against the Constitution and The People.

And that list needs to be publish, posted on every telephone pole across the nation.

Make it like a WANTED POSTER , recite a preamble accusing them of treason, and list the baftards for all to see.

Publish it widely on the INternet.Make postcards of the
list......

All of them should be barred from ever holding electoral office of any sort.,...ever again.
