The Facebook Files Reveal Pressure From the Biden Administration to Crush Free Speech

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) just released what he called “smoking-gun” evidence on how the Biden White House pressured Facebook into censoring Americans’ free speech. Unfortunately, the House Judiciary —which Jordan chairs — also just “scrapped” a Thursday meeting to consider holding Meta (Facebook) CEO Mark Zuckerberg in contempt of Congress.

Never-before-released internal documents subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee PROVE that Facebook and Instagram censored posts and changed their content moderation policies because of unconstitutional pressure from the Biden White House,” Jordan tweetedon July 27.

The first half of 2021, Jordan’s tweet thread continued, brought “tremendous pressure from the Biden White House” for tech platforms to censor whatever the Biden administration considered to be “misinformation.” As an example, Jordan shared a screenshot of an email to Zuckerberg and then-Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, noting “continued pressure” from the White House.

After all, Facebook’s censorship of the Hunter Biden scandals, which Facebook did after FBI priming, could have swung the 2020 election in Joe Biden’s favor, according to a Media Research Center poll.
