White House Press secretary Jenn Psaki made a bold move when she revealed that the Biden Administration is working with Facebook to flag and remove “problematic” posts that “spread disinformation” about COVID.
She said, “We are in regular touch with the social media platforms and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff and also members of our COVID team – given, as Dr. Murthy conveyed, this is a big issue, of misinformation, specifically on the pandemic.”
Not only is this a major violation of free speech, but the White House was so quick to openly admit it… and to make matters worse, the mainstream media thinks they are doing good.
Psaki’s comments received fierce pushback from the online community, calling this an infringement on our first amendment rights of free speech.
The left is using the pandemic as an excuse to monitor and control the media in an Orwellian style; who knows what else they are looking at. Social media might be a public affair, but our right to speak freely should remain untouched.
Fox News Contributor Katie Pavlich was quick to point out that the White House is “against freedom” in a Twitter post where she reminds everyone Facebook was flagging posts related to the lab leak theory.
Psaki says the White House has been flagging "problematic posts" on Facebook they believe are misinformation about Wuhan coronavirus. Reminder: Fauci worked with Facebook to ban the lab leak theory, which is factual, for more than a year.

This major first amendment violation hasn’t gone unnoticed by Senators in congress either. Sen. Mike Lee called out the White House, saying “The government can’t censor speech. The First Amendment makes that clear. Private, for-profit corporations can make their own decisions but when they do it with collusion in government it looks to me a lot like a First Amendment violation.”
Big Tech censorship is a major first amendment violation when the government gets involved. They are abusing their power to control the media and only have the information that benefits the left out there…
Over the last few months, Big Tech has been busy taking down posts including news related to the scandalous Hunter Biden, or anything else that would dare tarnish the reputation of the dems…
It’s become too obvious that these social media giants are censoring content that’s associated with the right, while giving the left freedom to post and say what they want, when they want.
The support of the dems isn’t doing anything to help this problem either… Not only do they have control over what Big Tech is censoring, but they now have the freedom to push their own socialist agenda on social media without any consequences.
And if anything surfaces that puts the dems in a bad light, they can have it removed by Big Tech…
Our freedom of speech is apparently no longer an inherent right, but one that the dems have decided to hand out exclusively to their following, while leaving the rest of us Americans in the dust.
