A House committee report details Biden administration efforts to censor platforms like Facebook, YouTube and Amazon, as recorded in the companies' internal communications.
Internal communications of executives from Big Tech companies reveal 'damning discoveries' of the Biden administration's attempt to muzzle the platforms, a new House committee report published this week revealed. Following House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan's subpoena last year, tech giants like Google-parent Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta and Microsoft were investigated regarding their communications with the federal government.
The Biden White House's censorship campaign also targeted true information, satire and other content not violating platform policies, according to the report. Internal emails from Facebook executives in July 2021 show that Facebook understood the Biden White House’s position as wanting 'negative information on or opinions about the vaccine' removed as well as 'humorous or satirical content that suggests the vaccine isn’t safe.
