Critics roundly condemned the White House after Press Secretary Jen Psaki revealed the Biden administration is working with Facebook to flag "problematic" posts that "spread disinformation" on COVID-19.
On Thursday, Psaki was asked a question regarding the Biden administration’s request for tech companies to be more "aggressive" when policing what they referred to as "misinformation." Psaki revealed that the White House is "in regular touch with social media platforms" to handle it.

Surgeon General Vivek H. Murphy
wants Big Tech to “impose clear consequences for accounts that repeatedly violate platform policies.”
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed President Joe Biden’s administration will use Murphy’s to collude with the Big Tech companies to flag accounts that
spread disinformation:
Wait. It gets better. The Biden administration has requested social media platforms make changes. Well, we know it is not a request. We know it is a
demand:
“1) That they measure and publicly share the impact of misinformation on their platform. Facebook should provide publicly and transparently data on the reach of COVID-19, COVID vaccine misinformation. Not just engagement, but the reach of the misinformation and the audience that it’s reaching. That will make sure we’re getting accurate information to people. This should be provided not just to researchers but to the public so that public knows and understands what is accurate and inaccurate.
“2) We have recommended, proposed, that they create a robust and enforcement strategy that bridges their properties and provides transparency about the rules. So… there’s about 12 people who are producing 65 percent of anti-vaccination misinformation on social media platforms. All of them remain active on Facebook despite some even being banned on other platforms, including ones that Facebook owns.
“3) It’s important to take faster action against harmful posts. As you all know, information travels quite quickly on social media platforms. Sometimes it’s not accurate, and Facebook needs to move more quickly to remove harmful, violative posts, posts that are within their policies for removal often remain up for days. That’s too long. The information spreads to quickly.

“So we’re helping get trusted content out there.”
Working hand in hand to subvert democracy and racketeering to steal elections..
This is not just about FB, and it’s not about Aunt Sally not able share a few “Covid” memes without getting thrown into FB jail. There are citizen journalists (for example) who use FB, YouTube, Twitter, et al as part of their marketing strategy and information sharing platform. Getting thrown into FB jail or having videos taken down by YouTube is interference and a violation of our Constitution and Bill of Rights because such actions by these Big Tech have the effect of depriving them of business and the Liberty to speak their minds.
It really is the equivalent of getting cut off by the phone company or the electric company simply because they disagree with the raison d’etre of your business, and furthermore they have the blessing of the State to engage in strongarm tactics, regardless of whether they are willing actors or not. This is a direct strike at the heart of the Fisrt Amendment.
