Last summer a Missouri judge ruled in a case brought by the state that the Biden administration had to cease contact with social media companies. This was addressing the charge that the president and/or his staff were engaged in the muzzling of expression on social platforms, regarding the pandemic as well as other topics. (The ruling was recently overturned by the Supreme Court, this June.)

The case followed revelations from the Twitter Files, the document release overseen by Elon Musk after taking over that company. In those documents it was established how
the federal government has been involved in coercing social media to target and silent voices on their platforms, a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. Townhall specifically had been on the receiving end of this government effort to limit speech and control accepted narratives.

Now is a surprising but confirming admission, Mark Zuckerberg - the force behind Meta-FaceBook - has written a letter to Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan on the House Judiciary Committee confirming the level of involvement the White House had in dictating approved speech on his platform. In the two-page letter, Zuckerberg lays out the process his site curtailed or eliminated exposure to certain content, on three segregated topics, at the urging of the Biden administration, and the White House specifically.

Regarding Covid/pandemic information: ____________________________________________________________

In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree. Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure.
