'Released internal Facebook emails that show the Big Tech platform was explicitly pressured by the Biden administration to take down specific posts that the president’s allies disliked.' -Brad_Polumbo
, a top Facebook executive recounts that Biden senior adviser Andy Slavitt was “outraged” in an interaction with company officials over the fact that they wouldn’t remove the meme.
This pressure campaign from the White House meaningfully influenced Facebook’s moderation policies. For example, the Biden administration apparently complained about a specific Tucker Carlson video, and Facebookshows broad changes considered in response to pressure from Biden’s White House: “[Facebook’s] Leadership asked Misinfo Policy ... to brainstorm some additional policy levers we can pull to be more aggressive against ... misinformation.
Based on the evidence, it’s hard to disagree with that conclusion. When private platforms choose of their own volition to censor or moderate certain content, that’s not a First Amendment matter. But when they do so in response to aggressive pressure from governmental officials, that tramples all over the spirit of the First Amendment.
