by way of reclaimthenet:
A just lately printed electronic mail has supplied extra proof of President Joe Biden’s administration asking tech platforms to censor content material that challenges the federal authorities’s Covid messaging.
The e-mail exhibits the Biden White Home’s Digital Director for the COVID-19 Response Group, Clarke Humphrey, requesting that Twitter take away a tweet from environmental well being lawyer and writer Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“Wished to flag the under tweet and am questioning if we will get shifting on the method for having it eliminated ASAP,” Humphrey wrote to Twitter within the January 2021 electronic mail. “After which if we will preserve a watch out for tweets that fall on this identical ~style that may be nice.”
The tweet that Humphrey was wanting to have eliminated linked to an article in regards to the loss of life of former skilled baseball participant Hank Aaron 18 days after he acquired his Covid vaccine. Kennedy Jr. tweeted that Aaron’s “tragic loss of life is a part of a wave of suspicious deaths amongst aged carefully following administration of #COVID #vaccines.”
Twitter seemingly rejected the censorship request and the tweet remains to be accessible.
The e-mail was printed by Missouri Lawyer Common (AG) Andrew Bailey and is one among many documents which have been launched as a part of a lawsuit that the Missouri and Louisiana AGs filed against the Biden administration in May. The lawsuit alleges that the Biden admin has illegally violated the First Amendment by colluding with Massive Tech on censorship.
Louisiana AG Jeff Landry printed one other doc which he stated confirmed “Facebook telling the White Home how they’ll censor [Robert F. Kennedy Jr].
JIM TREACHER: Biden Tried to Silence Tucker Carlson on Facebook. “Bear in mind, we wouldn’t know any of these items if Elon Musk hadn’t dropped $44 billion to purchase Twitter. He opened the floodgates, and now all of this sewage is spilling out. What number of different social media corporations have been censoring conservatives like this? I assume the reply is: All of them.”
