Facebook and the Biden Administration Admit to Censoring Speech

[Irving]

This is very, very old news, but I agree with you. YouTube does it all the time. As does Instagram, which is also Facebook.

It's old news they've been censoring on their own in line with the own internal leftist agendas. It's not old news that a White House press secretary comes out and admits the administration is working with a big tech company to censor Americans. That's pretty much unprecedented as far as I know. Not saying the government's never done it. But they've never openly admitted they're doing and went to such great lengths to convince the American people that it's for their own good.

That is NOT old news. Unless you grew up in the Soviet Union.

You're probably right. It is worse that the white house is participating, but to the "end user," so to speak, the experience is the same.

Do you have a link, by the way?

I added the bold.

I quit FB eight(?) years ago when I became tired of the negativity and snark that seemed to prevail. Not a small part was politically oriented. What I am trying to understand is that years ago, when I was on FB and in more liberal circles, many of those in the liberal circles took pride in believing they were informed and seeing all the sides of an issue. The idea that the left is so emboldend that the media sources can admit that what they are doing is supporting a cause is disconcerting.
