#Repost///@wearebreitbart: Newly disclosed emails from within Facebook (now known as Meta) @meta reveal that the Biden @potus administration and its appointed officials exerted significant pressure on the tech giant. Mark Zuckerberg’s @zuck Facebook frequently bent the knee to the White House demands, such as one case in which emails state executives were “ready to tell the White House that it had demoted a video posted by Tucker Carlson @tuckercarlsontonight by 50% in response to the White House’s demands, even though the post didn’t violate any policies.”The Wall Street Journal @wsj reports that according to recently made public emails from Meta Platforms, formerly known as Facebook, the Biden administration and its appointees put a lot of pressure on the company, possibly infringing on Americans’ First Amendment rights. The company initially resisted the Judiciary Committee’s subpoena for internal communications about White House pressure. This resistance prompted the Committee to schedule a vote to hold Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s CEO, in contempt of Congress if his company did not comply.However, the threat of Congressional censure led to Facebook turning over the required documents. These documents expose the extent of the Biden administration’s pressure campaign against the company to suppress discussions on important issues affecting Americans.The internal communications, which include emails from high-ranking Facebook executives, shed light on how the company managed user posts about the origins of the pandemic. “Can someone quickly remind me why we were removing—rather than demoting/labeling—claims that Covid is man made,” asked Nick Clegg, the company’s president of global affairs, in a July 2021 email to colleagues.In response, a Facebook vice president in charge of content policy, speaking of the Biden administration, stated, “We were under pressure from the administration and others to do more. We shouldn’t have done it.”
