Biden's Assault on Free Speech Highlights Need for 'Cancel Free' GETTR Social Media Platform

On July 15, President Joe Biden's Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, informed the American people that the Biden administration was working directly with one of the social media giants to "Flag" posts that spread "Disinformation."

It should alarm every American citizen that the federal government is now sifting through Internet conversations and advising a social media platform on what can and cannot be published.

What's more galling is that it's the Biden White House doing it.

The claim is that Biden is trying to protect the American people from potentially harmful information regarding COVID-19, which is a laugh, since both the president and his vice president openly disparaged the life-saving vaccines from the campaign trail when Donald Trump was still in office.

So not only is the "Flagging" of posts a flagrant assault on the bedrock American principle of free speech; it is ludicrous for the Biden administration to appoint itself the arbiter of truth.

Today, of course, no one has made a dent in the accuracy of those laptop stories, though the social media giants silenced them just the same, with the approval and assistance of the Biden crew.
