Vaccine

This really should be bigger news. We saw last week FB admitted the FBI played a role in them limiting info about the laptop.

For all the claims it is the Rs who are acting fascist like. We keep seeing instances of the Biden admin pressuring corporations, and those corporations going along to kill off or limit info/opinions contrary to the gov line.

This is disturbing, but most people won't pay much attention, and the mainstream press will likely not report on it at all or in a very limited way.

Here's what we know so far. DOJ identified 45 federal officials who have interacted with social media companies on misinformation.
Beyond DOJ, Meta identified 32 additional federal officials including White House Officials who communicated with them, and YouTube identified 11 federal officials including White House Officials who communicated with them, many of whom were not disclosed by DOJ.

This is a vast censorship enterprise, and the American people deserve to see the truth. Here are examples that already prove that federal officials and social media companies are coordinating on censorship, and we're not close to being done yet:


A senior FB official sent an email to the Surgeon General stating, "I know our teams met today to better understand the scope of what the White House expects from us on misinformation going forward." This email chain follows the SG's "misinformation health advisory" in July 2021.


Further communications show that Facebook is "increasing the strength of our demotions for COVID and vaccine-related content that third party fact checkers rate as 'Partly False' or 'Missing Context.'


That content will now be demoted at the same strength that we demote any content on our platform rated 'False.'"

Twitter scheduled a meeting to debrief top White House Officials on "vaccine misinformation."


There are several instances where Facebook wouldn't proceed with censoring freedom of speech on their platform until they had input, or a "debunking" from the CDC. Twitter followed the same course in at least one email.



The CDC also proposed a monthly debunking meeting with Facebook to help them censor free speech as well as regular "Be on the Lookout" calls with major social media outlets.

A White House official was even concerned about parody Fauci accounts and coordinated with Facebook to take them down.


The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) reached out to Twitter, Google, Meta, and Microsoft following the botched rollout of DHS' Disinformation Governance Board:


The Deputy Secretary at Treasury sought to connect with social media platforms and influence operations on social media.

This is just the beginning. We've beat the Biden Administration in court in this case, and we plan to do it again.

Missouri and Louisiana will continue to fight to get to the bottom of this alleged collusion and expose the suppression of freedom of speech by social media giants at the behest of top-ranking government officials.

Translation: The govt reminded social media it was their job to regulate content on their sites that is not covered by Section 230 or 1A such as violence, misinformation, & disinformation, because the social media companies in a time of great need were not being responsible!
 
Think about this. dad and others were/are big fans of the pronouncements of the gov. They didnt like to hear opposing viewpoints regarding covid etc. And pointed out...hey some of that has been factchecked and is wrong. As it turns out our gov was pressuring private companies to label opposing views is disinformation and or suppress it altogether.

This should be a scandal and a warning of the largest magnitude. Especially as increasingly tech takes a larger and larger role in our lives.


The White House used "private" corporations to illegally enforce their own censorship demands, violating the First Amendment.

Jonathan S. Tobin at The Federalist:

As far as the managerial class was concerned, Twitter's permanent ban of journalist and author Alex Berenson in August 2021 was entirely justified. Indeed, most of the reaction to his ban consisted of mockery of the lawsuit he subsequently filed to force Twitter to reinstate him.
Since his ban, Berenson has not only been vindicated, but news surfaced that his silencing was the direct result of a request from the White House.
Documents Berenson obtained during the discovery phase of the lawsuit he filed against Twitter illustrate how the government actively works to shut down free speech on issues of public interest. Berenson's criticisms of the Covid vaccines, which he claimed were ineffective and possibly harmful, came exactly at the time when the federal government, as well as many states and cities, were using every available coercive means at their disposal to force Americans to take them. As such, his speech was deemed extremist and needed to be suppressed to save lives during the pandemic.
While President Biden blithely labels his political opponents as "semi-fascists," it is he who has been playing the part of a fascist by using powerful corporations to stifle opposition. And thus, Berenson's Twitter ban must be acknowledged as a rank injustice.
...

There are two important takeaways from this development.
First, everyone must now acknowledge Berenson's views that were labeled wrongthink a year ago were largely correct about the shortcomings of Covid vaccines.
The second point concerns the way the government used a public health emergency not only to seize unprecedented power but to trash civil liberties by leveraging the resources of Big Tech companies.

As Steven Green comments at Instapundit: "There's no more pretending that the social media giants don't act as arms of the federal government."

Interesting. Two days ago I called to get my daughter’s vaccination records for college and they refused my request because “your daughter is 12 or older” and we need her permission for this request. Glad CA has their eye on the ball looking out for our youth. We can’t have their parents knowing their child’s vaccination status once they are 12.

let's play a game...imagine that piece was written by someone you agreed with....would it be right then? Or the mere fact that it's presented by someone who you think opposes your world view you automatically dismiss it? Imagine if that reasoning was implemented everywhere.. imagine.

Typical attack the source and not the substance. The data and story is from the NCES/NAEP, a government agency. How raw are your hands from grasping at straws?

Your complaint is that I put watfly’s post in context. It came from “the74million.org”. As posted, the context is anti-democratic conspiracy theories.

His other post was actually credible. It is a well written article by a pair of epidemiologists, arguing in favor of school openings. He just had to change the topic when it turned out that he was agreeing with a “scientist”.
 
Schools should have been open. But bars restaurants and casinos should have been closed.

Y'all seem to keep forgetting that the adults kept their things open while they closed everything for kids.

Nice quip.

Now read the article and which children were negatively impacted the most. (Hint: it’s not the sourdough crowd)

Yes it was those parents that have to work. The people that fuel this nation, but they aren’t the ones doing the bitching.

No…like I said….by now it is behind you.
