Biden Asks Social Media Companies to Crack Down on Any Vaccine Discussion That Does Not Comply with Official Government Narrative​

After making frequent statements that “democracy is under attack”, and recently proclaiming the choices are between “democracy and autocracy” while attempting to force medical treatments on unwilling subjects, today Joe Biden asked social media companies to crack down on any speech that does not comply with the officially approved government narrative. {Direct Rumble Link}

BIDEN: “If you’ve haven’t gotten vaccinated, do it. Personal choice impacts us all — our hospitals, our country. I make a special appeal to social media companies and media outlets: Please deal with the misinformation and disinformation that’s on your shows. It has to stop. COVID-19 is one of the most formidable enemies America has ever faced. We’ve got to work together, not against each other.” (link)

Brandon needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.

If Brandon keeps on yapping, he'll earn himself a swift kick in his ass sooner than later. It's a coming.

This joker keeps spewing out more nonsense, no wonder why we are in the state we are in especially overseas.

This always had me scratching my head...

I know that say "Facebook" owns the site, and you have abide by their rules. However, in this day and age, if it's public any anyone can use it (meaning sign up), shouldn't it count as freedom of speech as long as you don't abuse the system (like hacking, etc)?

I'm surprised, but not surprised that this hasn't been challenged more in court.

I know in some instances, what you post then becomes property of that site, which I also find rather interesting/not fair.

In all honesty, I love this forum. Even though we talk a lot of politics, we all respect each other for the most part.

If you ask some people it's OK because it's not government doing it, it's just government asking (and in some cases coercing) private companies to do it.

They either don't understand or don't care that that is the textbook definition of Facism (i.e. government outsourcing the oppression to private industry).

In their mind the entire constitution could be bypassed by the simple expedient of declaring law enforcement a private company.

"Congratulations, you're incorporated and our sole source supplier, no go crack some heads".

When may I come over to your house and spray paint a giant cock on the side of it?

Never.

Unless the only reason I said "no" was because the government was threatening to seize the property if I let you.

At that point, the government has already effectively seized the property and are just trying to maintain the illusion that it's not theirs.

In that case, I might help you.

Here's a question. If the government hires a private investigator (or as they prefer to call them, confidential informant), should they just be able to ignore all the usual rules of evidence and due process ?

'cause they do.

How about if instead of hiring them, they extort them into helping ?

'cause they do that a lot too.

Why does it make any difference if that CI is a large corporation or for profit business ?

What should happen is Facebook and the rest are private, and absolutely have the right to control what's posted on their service however they want.

*But*, once they start exercising more than the most basic editorial control over that content, then they become publishers and should lose their immunity as platforms.

That's it. The minute they start being the arbiters of what's "misinformation", then they accept liability for all of it, and should open themselves up to lawsuits from everybody who relies on that determination and to the people affected by it.

That would mean everyone who had a post about masks being nearly useless censored now has an actionable legal case to sue them. "They called me a liar in public, but CDC clearly agrees I was right".

And once they censor a post for claiming the vaxxines aren't "safe and effective", now everyone injured by a vaccine, or who was vaxxed and got covid and might have seen that post can sue them for that too.

That's it. You do not get to exercise editorial control over the content, and at the same time claim legal immunity because you are a neutral content provider.

Ok, and why did you say no?

Where exactly did the government hire Facebook?

Hmmm the government... asking private industry... to do something it can't legally do. To me that sounds questionable as hell.

We have to stop trusting these companies, and live our lives offline more where we are free. We should be viewing the digital age as one of entrapment as much as it is convenience. It's not all bad, but it's high time people started realizing it isn't all good either.

Or just threaten them with regulation unless they comply. Much cheaper and leaves more money in the budget for booze and hookers.
