Imagine the apoplexy in media if President Trump’s White House was flagging content on Facebook for removal. That’s exactly what White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted today: “We are flagging problematic posts for Facebook“…
Yup, the Biden regime is monitoring social media from the White House and identifying content they do not like. Then, they flag that content and send it to Facebook, who then take action to remove it. WATCH:
.
On the upside – this is a direct admission the U.S. government is the determining voice on speech. That admission now makes this a FIRST AMENDMENT issue.
Previously the Democrats, leftists, media allies and the Biden administration all said Big Tech censorship, the banning of conservative voices/opinions, was a matter of private businesses making decisions on their own without government influence and therefore no ‘First Amendment’ issues are in place. This admission from the White House today is exactly the opposite. Let the lawsuits commence.
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” -Aristotle
Disinformation or Misinformation doesn’t exist – there is just information that you accept, and information that you do not accept.
You were not born with the requirement to believe everything you are told. Rather, you were born with a brain that allows you to process the information you receive.
The Biden Administration is actively monitoring social media while the Trump Administration was banned from social media… The world has gone nuts.
It’s tough to figure out what is more troubling…. The fact that the executive branch is openly discussing the advantages of censoring speech they dislike, or that FB and Twitter fans are ok with it!
And the enemedia doesn’t even blink. Inside every prog there’s a tyrant screaming to get out.
So, have they given FB some sort of legal defensen(we didn’t censor, it was the guvmint) against 45’s suit and shifting a spotlight to the Executive branch who will then say it’s an issue of national security (or some such nonsense) bypassing 1A totally?
which is why they rushed the domestic terrorism 100 day review . to link it to national security.
So they’ve chosen to engage in a criminal conspiracy, instead?
No, I just think the Democrats have decided it’s game-over. There will be no more USA. They own the courts and the Justices on SCOTUS.
Most of the Liberal sites are like “We don’t care. You’ll do what you’re told and like it.”
” You will own NOTHING and like it “.
Klaus Schwab, WEF.
Those who support this NeoMarxist BS are also saying that the feds are not coercing or pressuring Fascistbook to remove “lies” that Fascistbook is voluntarily doing so … therefore…. no violation of First Amendment.
They conveniently ignore…….”we are flagging FOR Facebook”……
I have also seen comments of …..the feds must do this for the health of the citizens, just as warnings are put on labels, removing dangerous information is no different.
Aaahhhh, but the government is deciding what is dangerous information and what is not…… another ignored point. It’s amazing how they twist everything, with the cognitive dissonance and the Mamet Principle.
See Article 1

No, they made Facebook a state actor subject to the First Amendment.
The last line is awesome.
Let’s be clear for all despair spreading trolls. Barrage of lawsuits and demands for our first amendment AND votes back ARE going to happen.
WHAT PROOF DO WE HAVE THE LEFT IS BEATABLE????????????? THEY POURED BILLIONS INTO THIS ELECTION SCAM AND COULDN’T EVEN FIND A HALFWAY BELIEVABLE PUPPET
THIS IS THE SHALLOWEST BENCH IN HISTORY
Feeble Dying Corpse Joe, these corrupt cabals, No Arms Twit-tard Jack Dorsey, weird affect-free scrapbook site peddler Zuckerborg and no chin MaoConnell are just weasley weasles. You’re going to give up my country to people who could only find a dementia patient to push their con?
I don’t think so.
These people are beatable.
Lawsuits now.
The fight for the American voice and vote WILL prevail.
Joe the Corpse got credited with 81 million votes.
Writing in all caps won’t stop the Corporatist avalanche that has engulfed us.
So you do understand we don’t accept that.
“Half of success is showing up.”
“Quitters never win and winners never quit.”
If you’ve given up while we’re in the middle of all we’re doing hang it up, you were never a Conservative.
It’s a can do philosophy, dear.
It’s Reagan-Trumpism
This is the philosophy that has already done harder things than fight corrupt, demented puppets like win the Cold War for starters. I’m sure you heard that was supposed to be impossible too.
So we shan’t be balling up in a corner with you.
Suppression trollery is all about trying to make the people not show up OR quit OR never try.
And you’re barking up the wrong crowd.
This country was built, survived and defended by people who aren’t giving in to utter nonsense like that silly bunch of unbelievable fantasy con numbers.
I’m with you, Falana. Never give in and never give up.
You speak of lawsuits as though there might be a resulting action. ?????
I understand where you are coming from. But if you will, explain to me what good is it going to do to uncover all the crimes they have committed when there is not one single 3 letter enforcement agency that will arrest people when they have the evidence to arrest them? There is no judge that will try the case or convict them.
It makes me so mad I could chew a nail in half. But where do you turn to when you know and they know they are guilty? That is what makes me so mad, no one to turn to.
This. Those who are supposed to stand up stay silent because they too benefit. They may not ACTIVELY participate but they know their inactive participation (no pushback, being quiet, playing dumb) permits this to happen and thus also benefiting them.
It’s a sham to We the People.
You’re giving them credit for a bench Falana. The only one I can think of that they have is the one they sit on when the lies become so heavy!
Take years and years in court and by then the country is destroyed, millions in camps etc etc.
Fix Bayonets!
Facebook is for liberal, globalists. Patriots can find a different social media.
I thought this was social media, not a place to post thoughts and have them monitored for categorizing as a political enemy.
You just got the memo.
But the sad reality is a very great many “patriots” are unwilling to be the least bit inconvenienced in enjoying their “pleasures.” Who cares that every click is one of support for the enemy?
Suns of Liberty!!! Find your tree!!! Suns – inclusive of the women folk!!
With all due respect, the type of women that are patriots don’t need their pronouns defined, nor the rhetoric tweaked to tickle this politically correct bone. Clever, though.
Sons….fixed it. Now, if you intend for the large stars of the many galaxies to come down and fight for freedom and the American way, ok then. But, I don’t see suns coming down to earth…
There is one good thing this administration has done: They trimmed the false eyelashes she wears so we are not distracted by caterpilllars on her eyes.
That’s it, the one and only good good thing.
Ha, ha; “…trimmed the false eyelashes she wears…” Hmm, I call them angel wings, but I like “…distracted by caterpillars…” Ha, ha, ha!
Now the fat is in the fire . . . good move, Biden Admin.
This has to be so stupid to deliberately volunteer to destroy your customer base . . . Facebook, are you sure you know what you are doing?
Nevermind.
Kids dont use facebook. Oldies and businesses yse it. You want to hurt facebook? Sue for working with government to shut down free speech and choose a business in Facebook and never use that business. Money is what makes Facebook powerful. Start hurting its cash flow.
Once they become an agent of the state they are subject to the same constitutional limitations as the state.
The validity of this is unquestionable.
Who will enforce the limitations of the state ?
Fascists
Nazi’s
What about the separation of Church and State?
You mean Church
and…
State? 🙂
They don’t care that this violates the First Amendment. This misinformation thing is a national emergency. Kinda like the “Pandemic”. How did that complete corruption of individual rights go for you? What are the tens of millions of Trump supporters gonna do about it. Sue? Good luck with that. By the time this stuff reaches the Supreme Court the Swamp will have an extra 3 to 5 justices to give them the answer they require. Department of Justice? Nothing to see here, move along, go back to work, pay those taxes or go to jail. And, by the way, shut up!
Great,move to Cuba,and you should be right at home.
Conundrum: is team joebama fascist, marxist, or half and half? ?
If the progs think they will be exempt, theyre in for a rude awakening. Either way, Im sure those rebubs will be outraged over this!!!….for about 15 minutes.
Full Blown Fascist.
And that includes the FBI and the Pentagon.
think back to this kind of question/answer scenario:
Is team joebama
a) Fascist
b) Marxist
c) Islamic jihadists
d) Maoist
e) all of the above?
EVERYBODY knows the answer is e!
E is a Globalist.
Biden is merely a viscious buffoon with a tiny intellect he merely enjoys the power he has no idea what this move means constitutionally.
I’m not computer savvy
Was never on Facebook or Twitter
Dont expose me
Make up a name for me, if you like. I just found your site through a Catholic friend. Thank you & God Bless this sit
You’re KitKat for the time being – make up whatever you want for the future!
Welcome to the Treehouse, KitKat!
I like your name. Keep it.
Welcome aboard! So beautiful to have you.
goody, goody. When will they begin starving we conservatives or banning us to prison or shipping us to gitmo? Why not? There is NO opposition to nothing being done, legalities be damned.
This is 2021 and Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, abc agencies and Dems, marxists, fascists, communists are in full control. If you are a white citizen you may as well have leprosy and be a leper from the biblical days.
Cuba is in combat, So Africa is burning, looting, rioting and no food, fuel; Haiti’s prez was murdered with Amn blood all over it and Swaziland (adjacent to So Afr) is burning, looting, rioting and no food or fuel. So African white farmers are being murdered (Zimbabwe) style and there is no justice. Any coincidence there is mass chaos in the world??? Be design???
Heard today, illegal immigrants crossing and being shipped out to our cities can refuse COVID vaccine and that is fully acceptable to Biden and Co…….Yet, the Admin is sending door-to-door troops to our front doors????? Come on….just come right on…..And, yet what disease(s) do they carry now ? Mark my words, in 12 mos we will be seeing all grades of disease that we thought we had eradicated in the past……..
When you find they are in your neightborhood to canvas, simply find the sickest person around to cough on your doorknob…repeatedly.
No, when you open the door start coughing like crazy in their faces. And don’t let up.
Illegals and federal government employees can refuse the poison vaccine
In England the police can refuse, are not required to have the vaccine.
Are government employees involved in this?
That’s downright a Federal crime. A public confession. They must believe they are bulletproof. News flash: you’re not even close.
Psaki may be setting up repeal of 230 on purpose by getting this into a 1st Amend spotlight so that only the big $ businesses can defend themselves from lawsuits and take out the little guys.
Good speculation, hard to prove though….
If so then there are ways to work against that too.
For one, break up Big Tech.
Time to trust bust these giants.
What’s Facebook?
Spot on! Too bad more on our side are addicted.
Biden Inc. now admits they are Full Blown Nazs.
I think they call themselves democratic socialists these days, but I digress.
Birds of a feather and all.
What they are doing is absolutely in-your-face unconstitutional to have a private actor do the states bidding to infringe one’s rights.
If this was any other country…this would be the point in the movie that one would pack up and head to America.
Any sign of that strongly worded letter yet?
Gin Saki’s response: “I’ll circle back on that in a few minutes. Waiting for FAA clearance now.”
Quite excellent!
there is a blanket of fog
And a fiery lindsay Graham on Hannity threatening a committee hearing…no actual consequences just a hearing but boy will lindsay be a firebrand during his committee .
“[T]his is a direct admission the U.S. government is the determining voice on speech. That admission now makes this a FIRST AMENDMENT issue.“
Trump’s lawsuit will enjoy summary judgment. ?
Not in front of an Obama Judge it won’t.
Not saying that would be proper…just reality
Okay, let’s take it to trial.
Erm, I think the “Obama” judges are precisely the type to whom Mr. Warren was referring.
Especially the racist Obama judicial activists
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, District of Corruption–where the Constitution died in 2021!
I say the Constitution is alive and well!
So the Texas suit with other States signed on is moving forward?
Likely a pre threat on the Maricopa Audit. They won’t allow any of this info out, expect the same from Twitter…I can see Attorneys out there licking their lips for the EASY money this major class action law suit will provide… It will be a money pot for the ages…
Seriously…after Trump has filed those lawsuits, they come out with a valid reason for the lawsuits.
Did you see the other video clip what Ms Petri dish is talking about Cuba’s Communism was a failed ideology.
Are these people stand ins? It like they come out with the truth while they’re chopping off our legs and arms.
the surgeon scumbag is another oscumma deep state globalist elitist!!
he was obama’s syrgeon general and now joebama’s!!
I enjoyed using Facebook. It was a super way to keep track of family and share goings on. Once I received my first “warning” about something I had posted, I let FB know that this was unacceptable, and if they kept doing that I was going to delete my account. They continued, I quickly moved to delete the account, but oh wait, not so fast, you have to wait to delete your account, they really don’t want you to leave! I had to wait 30 days before that account actually deleted.
I have a question, for anybody still using Facebook. Do you CARE about your rights as an American citizen, at all? Why are you, or someone in your house, continuing to use an organization that has made it clear it intends to be our ministry of truth, and censor information WE have a right to see, and delete what it does not agree with? Why are you supporting this by USING FACEBOOK. If we can’t even care enough to stop posting selfies and pictures of our cute cat doing funny things, then is there any hope for America at all?? Give them bread and circuses, it was once said. We may be that stupid.
It’s never deleted. They just cut your access. Your data all belongs us.
Your observations are spot on! It is very telling how few “patriots” are willing to even be slightly inconvenienced by not using (and yes, thereby actively supporting) these (anti)social media platforms that are now very open about their biases and their censoring.
There are also myriad recent disclosures of state and federal officials actively colluding with these oligarchs to suppress any speech contrary to that of the enemies of freedom who now rule over us.
Sadly, as evidenced by the mere 2 thumbs up and zero (until mine) replies even here on CTH, it is apparent that a very great many “patriots” are more of the “sunshine” variety. (“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” Thomas Paine)
And these same “patriots” all too often lobby on these and other conservative fora for us to commence the “civil war.”
The grim reality is more likely that many of these same people are quite challenged to struggle up from their sofas from watching reality shows or sports on TV to go get another brewski.
Just to be clear the bunch has now introduced a bill to make Mary Jane legal.”Give them bread and circuses”
Let’s face it, anyone who relies on FB and the likes for factual info/news, isn’t too bright anyway. They wouldn’t know the truth if it hit them in the face. This is to keep the sheeple from wandering away from their herd.
You just described half the populous.
Trump just got the admission for his lawsuit. How big do you think the first settlement offer will be ?
Trump has no interest in a settlement no matter the offer.
Yes, I know that as do most treepers, but big business always tries to offer money first for any wrongdoing.
Every day more and more of American’s constitutional freedoms are being stifled and destroyed by the administration or Big Tech and yet we hear absolutely NO OUTRAGE from our GOP representatives in Congress.
They just sit on their hands with their mouths shut.
How is it possible that people who are suppose to be at least right of center politically and are suppose to represent the people are as quite as church mice when their citizens are getting destroyed by the left and far left socialist policies?
It can only be they are either complete cowards or are complicit with the left or are being blackmailed to remain quiet.
There really are no other options that I see.
or, they are just the other side of the same coin. They are just Government Party. There are no Rs and Ds. I wish people would stop thinking the GOP, the RNC, the DNC, Antifa, BLM, etc. are all different. They are not. They are all consumed by Government Party people.
There are Ds and Rs who are Americans. They are just drowned out. When will enough people say enough is enough?
Convenient life has many giving up their rights without thought.
Obvious violation of 1st Amendment, especially given that Facebook was a state actor even before that.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/07/big_tech_are_state_actors.html
Time to take out the trash.
Our reactions/responses to this information is not complicated. I don’t think their choices leading up to this point were complicated for them either.
Remember when obama publicly enunciated his complaints about our Constition (before he was elected)–including his frustration with all the negatives in the Constitution–things the government could not do. He didn’t like it, and said so in plain language.
I’m beginning to think that their decision to do this and to publicly acknowledge they did it does not seem risky to them in any way. The only way for them (in their view) to move ahead with their plans is to do precisely what they have done.
As much of the country shrieks about the First Amendment, much of their response will be, “And your point is……??”
I don’t think there are many horses left in the barn or many ships left in the harbor.
As old Confucius say, “We actually have arrived where we have been headed for a long time.” Funny how that works.
Exactly, they are saying “Yeah, and what? Stop us. You wont. We have the F15s and Nukes.”
OK. They said it. But do you have an example of them doing it. Now you have a case.
First we need that list of 12.
I think I had this up here before, but I’ll repeat it:
“Second, in the context of the pandemic and related items what these firms did is already illegal. The First Amendment makes clear that the government may not censor. The evidence at this point is overwhelming that government agencies, including at least the NIH and likely others as well, conspired together with Facebook at least and almost certainly others as well to do exactly that. Facebook can independently decide but what it cannot do is collude with Fauci’s NIH to drive a public narrative by censoring opposing views. Yet that’s exactly what the so-called “Trusted News Initiative” did and that collusion occurred with government agencies is documented. That is a rank constitutional violation never mind a violation of 15 USC Chapter 1 which carries ten year prison terms; why isn’t existing law being enforced?”
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=242799
“Why isn’t existing law being enforced?”
Because the people with the responsibility and the means to enforce it don’t want to. I don’t think it gets any plainer than that.
The simplest explanation is usually the correct explanation.
FACEBOOK ? Isn’t that where the CCP has thousands of it’s actors posting dribble for morons to read and respond to ? I thought this Faceless thing had died already. Get a life people.
Lying Ginger keeps using the term, “trusted content” as if trust is never betrayed.
It boils down to one question. “Who decides what is misinformation?” The government? Big Tech? The individual?
God
Mike, I understand what you mean, but …
If anyone addresses this question seriously, they’ve already conceded that Gov or Tech might possibly have a role in deciding the opinions people may hold. It is none of their &^#(&! business.
Using the term “misinformation” in connection with the question makes it worse. It buys into their carefully crafted and disciplined terminology — an important part of the propaganda.
Not only should Gov and Tech not decide what is “misinformation,” the miserable word should not be in their vocabulary. They have absolutely no business trying to “protect” us from certain opinions. It is not their job.
This is like asking who should decide how often a person should make love. The government, big tech, or the person himself / herself? The question is outrageous before it’s even asked.
Only officially approved messages will be tolerated.
Further more those perpetuating these unapproved messages will be subsequently investigated for possible domestic terrorism.
THIS IS ALREADY BEING APPLIED.
In a “free” society discussion of differing views is a bedrock of it’s freedom.
Government abolition of differ views is nothing less than Fascistic, Communistic, Tyranny.
Period .
There is NO grey area.
If by chance you are indifferent to this development. Make no mistake. Once this control is allowed it will only become more restrictive. Eventually the speech that is most supportive of this state is all you will hear.
This is bad, beyond words.
Bernie Madoff was once a “trusted content” provider.
Benedict Arnold was once a “trusted content” provider.
Doesn’t the covid part open up other avenues?
Absolutely.
Is Mike Lindell’s site able to handle comment / information posting — yet?
Welcome to the democrat run National Socialist States of America.
Let’s see FaceBook deny this
“The world has gone nuts.”
You were doing fine, right up to that last sentence!
If anyone know, it should be you: The PC-Progs’ belief system is built on them destroying Normal America and Americans.
Nothing “nuts” about it.
Sinister? Yes. Diabolical? Yes. Devious? Yes.
They are not “crazy,” or “nuts,” or “insane,” or “stupid,” or “snowflakes,” or any of the other pejoratives that Normals who fail to understand the essence of our opponents throw around.
Thinking they are “nuts” weakens our ability to counter their tactics and strategies.
Tribulation times.
If it’s done for Facebook, it is a 100% certainty that it is done on all of the social media outlets run by the demo-fascist allies.
Also add to that it is done on the common publishing engines such as “disqus”, allows censoring across multiple blogging platforms at the same time.
Facebook just happened to be part of the question or comment.
HawleyMO on the White House working with Facebook to censor Americans —>
“This kind of coordination between big government and the big monopoly corporations, boy that is scary stuff, and it really is censorship.”
……he doesn’t believe there was any cheating during the 2020 election—. ‘ Boy this kind coordination btw. Fox News and Republicans is really scary stuff!’
Republicans silence on fraud is unacceptable. Your silence is consent!
Congressman, Senators,
Social media “platforms” have long been used by the left to silence Patriotic voices and any and all resistance to the Democratic Socialist agenda, Now, as per White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki: “We are flagging problematic posts for Facebook“… This is direct interference with free speech by the White House. This is, plain and simply, a new and dangerous escalation in the war against the Constitution. We are witnessing a concerted effort by this anti-American and corrupt administration to silence any and all opposition and in effect shape the narrative around any subject they choose, all under the protection of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. From Covid 19 to the fraudulent 2020 election, only one side is getting heard. How is this possible? Is there nothing that our elected representatives can do? Why is no one speaking out about the subversion of America? A few gender confused individuals, perhaps .1% of our population can change public policy, but half of the country have no voice when it comes to basic FREE SPEECH. This dismantling of our Constitution must stop,
There is a ‘Big Lie’, as the mainstream news like to phrase concerns about election integrity, being told in D.C. and it is not that President Trump was robbed of a second term, but that this is still a free country, with a representative government.
Respectfully Yours,
Son of Liberty
Nice post, half the country.
This Canadian figures at least 70% of your nation has been stifled.
Cheers to all!
sorry to tell you when comey said no judge alive would prosecute hillary clinton was the day all agencies of the USA where turned….
they no longer apply the laws equally any more.
this is where the rubber meets the road…..
until then we are screwed….
as sundance notes, facebook censorship is now a first amendment issue with the white house admitting it is monitoring content and forwarding unacceptable thought to facebook for discipline. judicial watch?
if you don’t have one already, consider making judicial watch your amazon smile charity. costs you nothing. helps judicial watch.
