Google Admits To Censoring Under Pressure From Biden Administration

[RocksInMyHead]

“Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies,” the company’s lawyer said.

This is a very vague statement that seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting in the minds of those eager to express their outrage.

There's nothing vague in that statement from Google.

There's nothing vague in that statement from Google.

When you're already decided what it means, perhaps.

Do you have a problem with Google admitting to the truth?

Nope. The links and examples have been provided multiple times on these forums.

Never happened.

And nowhere in the OP article does it say Biden censored anything.

Never happened.

Yes it did.

He just forced private companies to do it for him...right? Or was it President Auto-Pen doing all the censoring?

Where's all the people who have recently been talking about autocracy and the first amendment regarding this situation?

Where’s the pressure from the government? What were these companies threatened with to force these decisions?

It's clear from the OP that there was no pressure, just a recommendation to be cautious.

What were these companies threatened with to force these decisions?

No companies were threatened. Well, not under Biden. Trump's doing plenty of threatening these days.

“Strong language.”

Ok lol.

“Mr Zuckerberg, you better please… independently decide what to publish on your platforms!”

Sounds real threatening.

Except many of the so called "misinformation" turned out to be true.

You know that when you are that vague, it's both impossible to prove and impossible to discredit.

Okay.
