Of Course It Wasn't Just Twitter The Feds Wanted to Censor

The feds apparently think that the First Amendment is quaint idea from a bygone era. It isn't. Emails Reveal White House Official Asked Facebook to Censor Tomi Lahren on COVID Vaccines

It’s yet another example of the federal government using tech companies to violate first amendment rights.

When private companies become agents of the federal government, that is the very definition of fascism.

Private companies censoring users at the behest of government is a direct violation of the First Amendment. But Biden and many on his ideological allies on left don’t care much for freedom of speech.

You will only say government approved things. You will only think government approved thoughts.

Hat tip to The Other McCain: White House Pressured Facebook to Censor Tucker Carlson on COVID-19.

Can you get any clearer example of abuse of power than this? The safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines was, and is, an important matter of public policy. Perhaps you don’t have any concern on this subject — I got vaccinate in September 2021, so its moot to me — but the point is that the White House wanted to stifle all criticism, to silence anyone expressing their concerns, so that the “discussion” became a one-sided propaganda message. And they were muscling Twitter to enforce this.

Furthermore, and I’ve raised this point repeatedly in recent months: Follow the money. The giant pharmaceutical companies producing the vaccines had an obvious motive to maximize the number of people who were getting vaccinated, without regard for their objective risk from COVID-19. Even if you were healthy and under 40, even if you had natural immunity because you’d already had COVID and recovered from it, the message was EVERYBODY MUST GET VACCINATED!
