Twitter’s “Tricky” Timing Problem: Lawsuit Reveals Back Channel with CDC to Coordinate Censorship

"Tricky"

  • Over the course of 110 pages in a federal complaint, one descriptive word stands out among the exchanges between social media executives and public health officials on censoring public viewpoints
  • The exchange reveals long-suspected coordination between the government and these social media companies to manage a burgeoning censorship system
  • Twitter just reportedly suspended another doctor who sought to raise concerns over Pfizer Covid records
  • Leading doctors are alleging a systemic private-government effort to censor dissenting scientific or medial views

The First Amendment is designed to prevent the government from censoring speech

  • Just as the CDC overstepped its bounds in mandatory moratoriums on evictions, it should not be allowed to exercise control over free speech, directly or indirectly
  • The last few years have seen a striking uniformity in the barring of certain political and policy viewpoints, including dissenting medical or scientific views that could potentially protect lives
  • That occurred without any central ministry of information or coercive state laws
