When pressed by The Post, Jean-Pierre said firmly that “no,” the White House does not use the recently exposed portal to request the removal of Facebook or Instagram posts.

No they tasked that to DHS and DOJ to do that.

She’s telling the truth. They don’t use the portal to flag posts that they want removed. They just flag posts and the Facebook people know what to do without being told.

They, the White House staff may not be doing it per se,
it’s that group of Interns just hired; THEY are the one’s sending urgent notes and thinly veiled warnings to the media.

Ministry of Truth.

It’s more than analogy.

It’s 100% unconstitutional.

A crime.

The new Congress needs to pass a law making such executive branch of the government actions in this regard illegal (because they are certainly unconstitutional) and remove funding from ANY element refusing to comply.

they may not be using it. Someone may be using it for them. You have to be clear about your question.

One what she said, The White House does not. Not the federal government does not. Plausible deniability.
