Time to Drain the Swamp

[HARK!]

The Biden administration repeatedly pressured Facebook to censor information about the COVID-19 crisis in 2021, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told House Republicans, adding he regrets taking down certain posts.

Mr. Zuckerberg said in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan that the administration repeatedly pressured the social network for months to remove virus-related material, including humor and satire.

“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” Mr. Zuckerberg told Mr. Jordan, Ohio Republican.

Mr. Zuckerberg also said his company erred in demoting a story about President Biden’s son, Hunter, and a laptop that seemed to have information about the Biden family’s foreign business ties. The platform’s maneuvers made it less likely for users to see the story.

Anyone who participated in this assault on the Constitution should be fired.

...and no, "orders are orders" is not a valid defense.

So we know now, without a shadow of a doubt, that the Dems suppress free speech if it is against their policies...

 

[Vambram]

Finally, Mark Zuckerburg is admitting to the truth that many of us already knew is factual.

I suppose that there will still be some who will deny reality, and ask for proof; as if even the Twitter files weren't enough.

I've even dealt with some who still dismiss the fact that Hunter's laptop exists.

I suppose now they'll dismiss Zuckerberg as a brainwashed conspiracy kook.

Does this mean that Zuck is the new darling of the right?

Let's not get carried away; but like Kennedy, some on the Left are moving in the right direction by speaking out against the abuse of power by the current Administration.

But "pressure is not orders" is a valid defense.

[But] The 5th Circuit ruling reversed Doughty’s order specifically enjoining the actions of leaders at DHS, HHS and other agencies, saying many of those individuals “were permissibly exercising government speech.”

The 5th Circuit retained one part of one of the lower court's prohibitions, but SCOTUS wiped that out 6-3.

Justices side with Biden over government’s influence on social media content moderation​

Writing for the majority, Justice Amy Coney Barrett cited the lack of any “concrete link” between the restrictions that the plaintiffs complained of and the conduct of government officials – and in any event, she concluded, a court order blocking communication between government officials and social media companies likely would not have any effect on decision-making by those platforms, which can continue to enforce their policies.

Swamp refilled?

Imaginary swamp dissipated.

There's plenty of actual Bob Menendezes and George Santoses to weed out.

It may exist, though it turned out to be irrelevant.

The corporate media and the swamp dwellers saw to that.

No, the lack of relevant content and the House's refusal to impeach Biden proved it.

After the false allegations of Russian disinformation were exposed; that put some snake meat on the table. I can understand why the chef's most loyal servants would attempt to sweep it under the carpet.

If it had had “the goods” on Joe Biden, why didn’t Comer et. al. use it?

By "it," do you mean Biden's slow walking FBI?
