The White House says it didn't censor anyone, but new emails show it demanded Facebook censor posts about the lab leak.

"Can someone quickly remind me why we were removing... claims that Covid is man made”?

“We were under pressure from the administration and others to do more" Image

@lwoodhouse @galexybrane @kshellenberger Trans-victimization

For many Americans, extending rights to trans people aligns with past movements to extend rights to women, racial minorities, gays, and lesbians. In the same way that women and girls deserved female-only spaces and sports, which they achieved in the 1964… https://t.co/QejUnOLLdqtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Facebook and YouTube say they're "social media platforms," but they're not. They censor accurate info in response to White House demands and spread state-sanctioned disinformation. Congress should stop protecting them from lawsuits, which enables their unchecked abuses of power.
When Congress protected social media platforms from liability in 1996, its intention was to increase freedom of speech, not reduce it.

By censoring "often-true content" and promoting government disinfo, Facebook & YouTube are violating the spirit, if not the letter, of the law.
The risk of Congress taking away Section 230 protections from YouTube and Facebook is that they would disallow even more content, which is true.

But users would still have Rumble, X, and other Section 230-protected platforms for posting content.

People say the Biden White House didn't pressure Facebook to censor, but it did.

FB to White House 3/21/21: "...in addition to removing... often-true content..."

FB internally 4/21/21: "We are facing continued pressure...from the White House... to remove more... content..." https://t.co/eunUEETZYwtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

“If government officials are directing or facilitating such censorship, it raises serious First Amendment questions. It is axiomatic that the government cannot do indirectly what it is prohibited from doing directly.” — @JonathanTurley

People think racial preferences in college admissions & hiring are progressive, but they’re not. They’re racist. California voters are overwhelmingly liberal & we rejected racial preferences not once but twice at the ballot box. @realchrisrufo is right.

nytimes.com/2023/07/27/opi…
.@realchrisrufo is conservative but has done more to advance the liberal vision of a color-blind society — as proposed by Martin Luther King, Jr during the March of Washington — than any liberal alive to day. That’s both praise for Chris and a criticism of illiberal progressives. Image
For most of the post-war period, liberalism in the United States was defined around freedom of speech, the needs of the working class, and the fight against racism and sexism. It was liberals who defended the right to burn the American flag, and of neo-Nazis to march through a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

This is disinformation. The world has never produced larger food surpluses. By your own standard, your tweet should be censored. https://t.co/7QRWQHJjRO

Here you are, demanding censorship of "misinformation" while you spread toxic disinformation.

You know perfectly well that the world produces gigantic food surpluses

The @UNFAO has shown that fertilizer, tractors, and irrigation will continue to massively outweigh climate change. You @antonioguterres know this and yet you continue to lie about both food and climate change while demanding censorship of accurate information. Image

People say solar panels don't produce carbon emissions, but they do. And now, a major new investigation by Environmental Progress, drawing on the research of @enricomariutti , finds that solar panels made in China produce at least 3x more carbon emissions than IPCC claims. Image

Democrats were the party of free speech but have become the party of censorship. While Republican support for online censorship is mostly unchanged, Democrats' support skyrocketed from 40%-70% in a half-decade. The cause? Media propaganda that depicts Republicans as fascists. Image
