On July 15th, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki casually revealed that the Biden administration regularly pressures Facebook to censor certain users on its platform. Thanks to a mainstream media eager to cover for Biden and his deputies, this shocking admission was treated like just another news item. Nothing could be further from the truth. Americans need to pay attention: Democrats are now saying the quiet part out loud. Joe Biden’s administration is actively engaged in the suppression of free speech, and they are directing big tech to do their partisan bidding at the expense of the American people.
This isn’t the first time that Facebook has acted as an extension of the liberal establishment. In 2020, Facebook banned posts for the thought-crime of asking questions about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s role in the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, it’s a fair question to ask – China is an international bad actor with a record of covering up human rights abuses, silencing non-state-sanctioned media, and opposing the United States. It’s commonsense to raise concerns about a pandemic starting on their soil, especially in the same province – Wuhan – which hosts a lab known for experimenting with coronavirus strains. However, because President Trump and Republicans were the first to sound the alarm about the lab-leak theory, Democrats and Facebook refused to engage on its validity. Facebook, egged on by the left, didn’t care, and shut down the debate.
