"We have to explain to President, Ron, people, why there is misinfo on the internet, bigger problem than FB," Flaherty was quoted as saying. Prior to Flaherty's question, he discussed COVID vaccine hesitancy with Facebook employees during the meeting, asking what the company was doing about it. Lahren had publicly announced she was choosing to skip taking the vaccine, and Daily Wire filed one of the landmark lawsuits challenge Biden's mandate that companies force their employees to get the shots as a term of keeping their jobs. You wouldn't have a mechanism to check the material impact?" according to Facebook's typewritten notes from the meeting. It's instructing them what they are required to do to maintain their current status as tolerated monopolies, and not become un-tolerated monopolies.įlaherty 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. The government isn't "asking" these companies for shit. (Witness these companies ganging up to deplatform Parler.) 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. On April 14, 2021, for instance, the White House's Flaherty asked Facebook whether it could promote The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal over The Daily Wire and Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren, according to Facebook meeting documents obtained by Just the News.Īs 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. President Joe Biden would eventually mandate such shots for many Americans, though he was reversed by the courts and Congress. The memos delivered recently under subpoena to the House Judiciary Committee make clear the White House was actively interacting with Facebook, and sometimes pressuring the social media giant to moderate content in a way that would encourage more Americans to get inoculations.

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. 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. Note that the Wall Street Journal is itself a liberal "news" source. The alleged focus of the meetings was to assist the administration while it struggled to combat COVID vaccine hesitancy. 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. Those of us who aren't being paid 30 pieces of silver to shill for the grotesque left call it "illegal and unconstitutional censorship by a rogue government."
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). Just some "jawboning," David French calls it. Aug"Jawboning:" Biden's White House Pushed FaceBook to Rig Its Algorithm To Suppress Conservative News Sites, and Boost Liberal Ones
