Lawsuit reveals vast censorship scheme by Big Tech and the federal government

 The FBI is under fire for telling social media platforms like Facebook to censor users for alleged disinformation

  • A little noticed federal lawsuit, Missouri v. Biden, is uncovering astonishing evidence of an entrenched censorship scheme cooked up between the federal government and Big Tech that would make Communist China proud.
  • So far, 67 officials or agencies - including the FBI - have been accused in the lawsuit of violating the First Amendment by pressuring Facebook, Twitter and Google to censor user activity.

'Even lies' protected

  • The First Amendment protects even lies
  • Twitter and Facebook prevented a real debate and discussion about the value of school closures
  • Alex Berenson was silenced on Twitter for tweeting that schools should be opened
  • Evidence-backed view that school lockdowns were driven by teacher unions, not data, and would do long-term harm to children

Fears of only a weak wrist slap for scandal-scarred first son Hunter Biden

  • The Biden administration is accused of having officials work with social media companies to suppress speech about the Hunter Biden laptop story.
  • Last month the federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Twitter and other social media platforms don't have an unlimited right to discriminate against "speech they don't like."
  • "The Platforms are not newspapers. Their censorship is not speech," the court said.

Pfizer's involvement

  • Berenson has another lawsuit on foot, against the Biden administration, vaccine manufacturer Pfizer, and Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb.
  • These lawsuits are the only obstacle between Americans and a frighteningly pervasive new federal censorship scheme on behalf of shadowy interests, using "disinformation" as a catchall excuse.
