Psaki reveals White House (government) is consulting with Facebook to 'flag misinformation'

Define misinformation? The dictionary definition is to deliberately intended to deceive such as saying two plus two equals six. Calling an opinion or view point that you donā€™t like or agree with such as a doctor expressing an different view or opinion on mask wearing or rather kids should have to get vaccinated than what the government is saying is not misinformation.
Misinformation is saying that the vaccine caused 6,000 deaths.

Misinformation is saying Trump won an election he lost 306 to 232 (81 million to 74 million votes)
We should all agree that debates involving differing opinions are fine. But dangerous lies are dangerous lies. Right now, 30% or so of Americans believe with all their hearts the dangerous lies they've been told, and then (see Bootney) they get all in a huff when you tell them that the government can't be concerned with the health of its people and encourage social media to do much better than they've been doing.

Does this have to do with the letter from the Surgeon General?
The last warning I read from him was on the side of a pack of cigarettes, saying that smoking them can cause low birth weight.

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 administrationā€™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 ā€œimpose clear consequences for accounts that repeatedly violate platform policies.ā€
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed President Joe Bidenā€™s administration will use Murphyā€™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:
ā€œ1) 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 itā€™s reaching. That will make sure weā€™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.
ā€œ2) We have recommended, proposed, that they create a robust and enforcement strategy that bridges their properties and provides transparency about the rules. Soā€¦ thereā€™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.
ā€œ3) Itā€™s important to take faster action against harmful posts. As you all know, information travels quite quickly on social media platforms. Sometimes itā€™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. Thatā€™s too long. The information spreads to quickly.

Working hand in hand to subvert democracy and racketeering to steal elections..
This is not just about FB, and itā€™s not about Aunt Sally not able share a few ā€œCovidā€ 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 dā€™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.

They donā€™t own Facebook and do not have any constitutional right to post there.

Have any of yā€™all ever thought about posting your COVID misinformation and conspiracies on your own websites?
 
Flagging a post! The scoundrels.

Oh wait. That's just an exercise in free speech. Anyone can flag a post.

So, this is just another case of the Trump cult objecting to someone else's free speech. Like they alway do. It's not a question that Trump cultists are like Stalinists. They are. It's only a question of whether they differ from Stalinists in any significant way. They don't.
 
Right... But... The government SHOULD NOT have any opinion, sway, or comment on what is said on any media platform that does not violate law.
Why not?

It's everyone's job to call out outright lies. Failing to do so would be immoral. This isn't a hesaid/shesaid case. This is one side just lying outright.

As if they havent already epicly fucked up by censoring REAL information on COVID. Democrats look like idiots already, im amazed they would double down on this idiocy. Theyre just glutton for punishment.
 
People who value liberty and freedom give a shit.
Let me know when you give a shit about the freedom who own, operate and maintain the websites you think you have some right to use.

Twist things though you might this isn't about a private business acting in a free and fair manner. This is about the government telling those private businesses who to censor and what to promote. A government that has the power to regulate those businesses out of existence or break them up if they so choose. You've spent your day trying to deflect away from this issue but it's not working. Defending fascists is a poor use of your time.

So the same could be said about Trump threatening news media, right? Threatening NFL? Threatening Amazon?

All assaults on the first amendment. Right?

This has NOTHING to do with Trump. This is the Biden administration that has basically deputized social media platforms and made them an arm of the government.

Makes no sense. A deputy assumes powers of the state. Facebook is not given powers of the state. They retain the rights of private organizations.

Trump did far worse with explicit threats to individual speech and none of yā€™all little baby fascists give a shit.
