White House censorship of social media violates First Amendment Rights

On March 26, 2021, White Home digital director Rob Flaherty e-mailed Fb, asking what kind of restrictions the social-media firm was going to placed on the New York Publish. 

“I’m curious — NY Publish churning out articles on daily basis about individuals dying. What is meant to occur to that from Coverage perspective. Does that article get a discount, labels?” 

What we have been “churning out” was the occasional information piece concerning the security and effectiveness of the vaccine primarily based on the data we had on the time (at the same time as we additionally advocated for taking it in editorials). 

So for these holding rating at house, social-media censorship of The Publish included: 

Saying we couldn’t publish Hunter Biden’s laptop computer as a result of it was faux or hacked.

It was neither. 

Censoring our hypothesis that COVID leaked from a lab.

It most definitely did. 

Attempting to limit our protection of COVID, though we have been advocating for individuals to get the vaccine — whereas working tales concerning the questions everybody was asking. 

In order that’s thrice Silicon Valley, below stress from the White Home, went after true information. 

However “information” aren’t what they’re after.

On the day of Rob Flaherty’s notice, The Publish’s entrance web page was “Glazed and Confused,” about President Biden’s apparent psychological issues. 

However they don’t need you to examine that. 

Or concerning the open border.

Or any of the handfuls of insurance policies this administration tries to maintain quiet. 

There may be completely no cause for the federal government to be pressuring social-media corporations to ban or delete articles and opinions. 

It’s pure propaganda and opposite to the spirit of the First Modification. 

They’re not defending you.

They’re defending themselves.
