Facebook and the Biden Administration Admit to Censoring Speech

[Bailey Guns]

It's unconscionable to me that ANYONE still uses Facebook. I don't get it at all.

The Biden administration has admitted to flagging posts (they say related to COVID...but color me skeptical it's limited to that) for removal with the full cooperation of Facebook. They say the posts contain "disinformation" about COVID 19. Really? Disinformation according t whom? Oh, that's right... The democrats in the Biden administration.

This is pure evil. And they aren't even trying to hide it.

And I'm under no illusion this is limited to Facebook. I'm sure most of the big tech giants are on board in one form or another.

It's pretty fucking discouraging.

But but… that how I keep up with people! If only we had some magic way of contacting people anytime of the day that would fit in out pocket…

Facebook is the fucking scourge of society and 90% of our problems would be solved if we didn’t have it at all.

So, stop voting for Biden. Stop going on Facebook.

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

What’s 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?

There's plenty of other sources as well...

The only thing surprising to me is that they are so emboldened that they'll admit to this now. That and the fact that so many Americans are now sheeple that will hear this open admission and not do anything about it at all.

I've been rereading Jerry Pournelle's CoDominium novels lately -- in particular "Go Tell the Spartans" and "Prince of Sparta" and the parallels to contemporary society are uncanny.
