Republican Reps. Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson, and Dan Bishop sent a letter to the White House and Facebook on Thursday demanding answers about the Biden administration’s announcement that it would work with Facebook to flag “misinformation” posts to censor.
In their letter, the three Republicans argue that the Biden administration and other groups “encourage cellular communications carriers to surreptitiously spy on Americans in an effort to silence speech disfavored by the Biden Administration” and that the White House had said it was flagging posts for Facebook to remove as “misinformation.”
Jordan, who is the ranking member of the House Judiciary committee, asked both White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for documents on what the Biden administration considers misinformation that should be removed.
They are also asking for documents of communication between the Biden administration and Facebook identifying content that should be censored.
“These efforts target speech that the Biden Administration and its allies view as ‘misinformation’ would have grave consequences for Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights,” Jordan said.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
