| After Every Major Break in the Hunter/Joe Biden Corruption Investigation, Partisan Witch-Hunter Jack Smith Has Dropped an Indictment of Trump the Next Day »

"Jawboning:" Biden's White House Pushed FaceBook to Rig Its Algorithm To Suppress Conservative News Sites, and Boost Liberal OnesJust some "jawboning," David French calls it. The government has first amendment rights too, he says, and the government's first amendment rights (which are not mentioned in the Constitution) prevail among the citizenry's first amendment rights (which are mentioned in the Constitution, somewhat prominently). The Biden White House inquired in meetings with Facebook executives asking whether Facebook could tweak its algorithm to showcase stories from The New York Times and Wall Street Journal over content posted by "polarizing" conservative journalists and commentators in early 2021, according to meeting notes the social media firm turned over to Congress that are alarming some constitutional lawyers. The alleged focus of the meetings was to assist the administration while it struggled to combat COVID vaccine hesitancy. Note that the Wall Street Journal is itself a liberal "news" source. People call the editorial page, the opinion page, of the Wall Street Journal "conservative." Or, rather, "Establishment, corporate open borders 'conservative.'" The news side of the WSJ is unabashedly leftwing. The memos, reviewed by Just the News, chronicle a series of meetings between White House digital director Rob Flaherty and executives from Facebook, now known as Meta, in spring 2021 as the first questions about the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccine began surging on social media. "Asked." As I have repeatedly said, FaceBook, Google, and Twitter are tolerated monopolies who could and should be broken up or limited by the government, and would be if we weren't living in the worst of all possible worlds, a Corporate Marxist regime. Their existence is precarious; they depend on the government continuing its corporatist policy of permitting them to continue being monopolies and using that monopoly power to strangle competition. (Witness these companies ganging up to deplatform Parler.) The government isn't "asking" these companies for shit. It's instructing them what they are required to do to maintain their current status as tolerated monopolies, and not become un-tolerated monopolies. Flaherty asked Facebook employees "If you were to change the algorithm so that people were more likely to see NYT, WSJ, any authoritative news source over Daily Wire, Tomi Lahren, polarizing people. You wouldn't have a mechanism to check the material impact?" according to Facebook's typewritten notes from the meeting. In other words: "FaceBook may lose its indulgences as a government-tolerated monopoly if they do not obey these government directives." Ben Shapiro says he might sue. He must sue. THIS WILL NOT STOP UNTIL CENSORSHIP AND COOPERATION WITH GOVERNMENT TO SUPPRESS FREE SPEECH CARRIES CASH-MONEY CONSEQUENCES MEASURED IN THE TENS OF MILLIONS. ... Reynolds notes that these so-called "private companies" do not have, as the federal government does, sovereign immunity. And of course the White House was pressuring FaceBook to censor true information as well. (Though it does not matter if the censored material is true or false for purposes of the First Amendment -- because, shall the government be our arbiter of truth? Men can speak whatever they think to be the truth, even if they are wrong.) But they can't even claim they were just demanding censorship of "misinformation." They wanted the true stuff taken down most of all, because truth is the most convincing argument against a tyrant. Facebook took steps to suppress true information or mere opinions about vaccines to avoid a "vaccine negative environment," according to internal company occupations viewed by Fox Business. Jim Jordan just released The FaceBook Files, Part 3. Some major points: Rep. Jim Jordan @Jim_Jordan · 20m In 2021, the White House wanted to control what narratives and true content was posted on Facebook surrounding #COVID19. You know who else had a dream? He recounts the White House demanding censorship of the Daily Wire, which I've noted above. ... He has supporting documents in the thread. | Recent Comments
