Seriously, who the fuck is the White House to be dictating who should and should not be banned from social media platforms, to keep lists of who they think are the spreaders of "misinformation," and then pressure companies they regulate to obey? This is pernicious shit:

Here's more of Jen Psaki issuing decrees on who should and shouldn't be allowed to use social media, then smugly scoffing at the notion that this should concern anyone on the ground that we're going to die if we don't submit to the White House's orders:

Day 2 of @ACLU silence as the White House expands its boasting of the pressure it's placing on the tech companies it regulates to censor content it designates as misleading and to ban the people on its lists, now insisting they be banned on all platforms.

With the US Govt and Silicon Valley monopolies merging their power to control political speech, platforms devoted to resisting this authoritarianism and protecting free discourse become increasingly important. Substack is one. So is @rumblevideo. Read:

Another crucial point: you don't have imagine or speculate that maybe the WH will start abusing this "misinformation" claim to censor content politically damaging to them.

They already did it: when Dems, media & tech monopolies censored the Biden archive based on this CIA lie:

When, right before the 2020 election, Twitter banned all links to the NY Post reporting on the Biden archive, and FB announced through its life-long Dem operative that it would block the reporting -- all based on a CIA lie -- and journalists cheered, the dangers were obvious.

That so many liberals are content with this state/corporate censorship is why I have to laugh when I get the "what happened to you?" question.

Nothing happened to me. You become complete authoritarians and allies of the security state and neocons in the name of stopping Trump.

I'll be on Fox in a bit -- 8pm ET, top of the show -- to discuss the two-day boasting of the Biden White House and Jen Psaki of their instructions to Facebook and other tech monopolies to remove content which the White House deems to be "misinformation."
