Pressured to address the 's demands, the -led multinational technology conglomerate frequently bent the knee, even when executives expressed concerns.

Per Breitbart:

The Wall Street Journal reports that according to recently made public emails from Meta Platforms, formerly known as Facebook, the administration and its appointees put a lot of pressure on the company, possibly infringing on Americans' First Amendment rights.

The company initially resisted the Judiciary Committee's subpoena for internal communications about White House pressure. This resistance prompted the Committee to schedule a vote to hold Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, in contempt of if his company did not comply.

Eventually, the committee prevailed, and lawmakers received the documents they had sought. They revealed a Facebook leadership team frustrated by the White House's frequent tongue-lashings, including President Biden's remarks that false information on Facebook was “killing people.”

Breitbart continues:

The internal communications, which include emails from high-ranking Facebook executives, shed light on how the company managed user posts about the origins of the pandemic. “Can someone quickly remind me why we were removing—rather than demoting/labeling—claims that Covid is man made,” asked Nick Clegg, the company's president of global affairs, in a July 2021 email to colleagues.

In response, a Facebook vice president in charge of content policy, speaking of the Biden administration, stated, “We were under pressure from the administration and others to do more. We shouldn't have done it.”

In one exchange, the White House demanded to know why Facebook didn't delete a clip from “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” where the then- host questioned the official COVID-19 policy. (RELATED: Courtroom Bombshell – All The Times Biden's Censorship Crew Targeted You!)

Facebook executives protested, with one saying “it had demoted a video posted by Tucker Carlson by 50% in response to the White House's demands, even though the post didn't violate any policies.”

  1. Something too many folks fail to realize is that the slow joes of the world don’t have to ‘order’ their minions/sycophants (.gov or private) to do such things, all they have to do is make hints, sometimes very subtle. Sort of like how the mafia works ‘nice business ya got there, be a real shame if something happened to it’.

  2. We all pretty much know that all these little dirty tricks that are blamed on Biden isn’t really him, it’s those handlers of his that tell him what to say and do. That senile old fool has no clue as to what’s going on about anything.We almost have to believe that those handlers are all part of obama’s team that he put in place in every department of our government to continue the mission of destroying our constitutional republic .One of these days the whole, real truth about obama, who along with his partner really hate America, will come out, and many people, even those that supported him, will be shocked at what will be revealed.

  3. Biden admin has wasted more money then any in histroy. Politicians need pay cuts. We have gone from a thriving economy to a collapsing economy. We dont give a hoot who Joe blames. He needs a rocking chair. Unspend that 15 trillion get WEF CCP AND BILL GATES FDA OUR OF OUR lives were sick of them wanting to Reduce while keeping their own necks off teh chopping blocks. They need Nurenberg II.
