As the Biden administration pressured Big Tech companies to censor Americans’ speech during the COVID vaccine rollout, Google’s YouTube went along with the White House’s requests before Facebook was pressured to follow suit, according to documents shared with House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and obtained by The Daily Wire.
In an April 18, 2021, email, Facebook President for Global Affairs Nick Clegg expressed concern after Andy Slavitt, a senior White House advisor, told him that Facebook was “lagging behind” as YouTube “made significant advances to remove content leading to vaccine hesitancy.”
“Just got off hour long call with Andy Slavitt,” Clegg, the United Kingdom’s former deputy prime minister, wrote in the email. “There are some pretty serious — and sensitive … issues we need to address. A summary: He was appreciative of the data we sent thru on Friday, and confirmed that Rob F had said that they had never received so much so much data from us before.”
Clegg, who appears to referring to Rob Flaherty, Biden’s censorship czar, said it was the White House’s view that Facebook was lagging behind the other tech companies.
“Andy attended a meeting of misinfo researchers (didn’t provide names) organized by Rob F on Friday in which the consensus was that FB is a ‘disinformation factory,’ and that YT has made significant advances to remove content leading to vaccine hesitancy whilst we have lagged behind,” Clegg continued.

The “freedom” to spread antivax propaganda is really a murky topic. Our Constitution guarantees free speech, but when someone uses their right to free speech to tell others lies meant to manipulate their behavior (for example, to convince them not to get vaccinated against diseases that can injure or kill them), is that really an exercise of free speech? Were our forefathers as adamant about someone’s right to lie to others for the purpose of scamming as they were about someone’s right to criticize politicians?
In any case, Facebook is a private company. They do have the right to disallow medical and vaccine misinformation on their platform. Other (but not all) social media platforms do the same.
Facebook is a CIA front.
Your use of the phrase “antivax propaganda” betrays you as a “brought to you by Pfizer” propagandist.
The Amish don’t get vaccinated. Guess what else they don’t get?

You’re projecting again, “brought to you by Pfizer” clown.
With stories like this and the CDC is asking why only 14% of people got latest death jab.
Hey dumbass CDC, try telling the TRUTH. Stop lying to everybody. Try being HONEST.
Forget that, just GO TO HELL!!!
Biden violated the civil rights of Americans. Let’s get to the penalty phase.
There ain’t no Pfizer (or Moderna) in me. I wouldn’t push ‘em on anyone either. So no idea what you’re yammering about. My clownish post was in reply to someone else suggesting lying may not be protected by 1A.
Sorry.
Vaccines risks and the Moon Landing hoax are absolutely verboten!
The last thing the Big Pharma bastards wanted to come was THIS: The lying bastards comonitted MURDER! https://www.aussie17.com/p/new-zealand-government-data-administrator The data unequivocally suggests that there is a statistically significant correlation between specific vaccine batches and the subsequent mortality rates observed.
