Jen Psaki Doesn’t Just Want Biden Critics Banned from One Social Platform, But ‘All’ Social Platforms
By: Kyle Becker
This is so typical of our fascist regime and it’s mainstream media and big tech social media lackeys! Here is blatant proof that big tech social media is willingly acting as an agent of the government in order to censor the free speech rights of ordinary Americans and alternative media when we say something that they don’t want to be heard. We are living in the beginning of dystopian times courtesy of the government and its big tech social media and lamestream news media useful idiots.

Jen Psaki Doesn’t Just Want Biden Critics Banned from One Social Platform, But ‘All’ Social Platforms
by Kyle Becker 22 minutes ago
One day after causing a stir by admitting the U.S. government was colluding with Facebook to silence purported COVID ‘misinformation,’ White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki took it a step further.
You could even call it a ‘great leap forward’ for Big Tech censorship in America.

“As I noted yesterday… there are more steps that everyone can take and I would note again this is the responsibility of officials speaking, of course, on behalf of the government, it’s the responsibility of members of the media, it’s the responsibility of citizens and civic leaders and people who are trusted voices in communities around the country,” Psaki said.
“That has a broad definition,” she added. “Social media platforms are one of them. There are also areas where a lot of people get news and information. Sometimes they are accurate news items, reported by some of your outlets or accurate information shared by a neighbor. Sometimes there is information that is not.”
“This is not a new issue but it is an issue that is impacting people’s lives,” she continued. “So, a couple of the steps that could be constructive for the public health of the country are, providing for Facebook or other platforms to measure and publicly share the impact of misinformation on their platform, and the audience is reaching.”
“Also with the public, all of you, to create robust enforcement strategies that provide transparency about rules,” Psaki said. “You should not be banned from one platform and not others if you are providing misinformation out there.”
“Taking faster action against harmful posts. Information travels quite quickly,” she continued. “If it is up there for days and days and days, it is hard to put that back in a box. And of course promoting quality information. Algorithms, I don’t know how they work, but they know how they work.”
“Those are some of the steps we think could be constructive for public health, public information, and the right of the public to know,” Psaki said.
Psaki, ironically, also called the social media platforms “public platforms.”
On Thursday, Psaki disclosed that the White House is “in regular touch with social media platforms” to censor what they deem is ‘misinformation.’
“We are in regular touch with the social media platforms and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff and also members of our COVID-19 team — given, as Dr. Murthy conveyed, this is a big issue, of misinformation, specifically on the pandemic,” Psaki explained.
It is hard to overstate how seriously dangerous the U.S. government colluding with corporations to censor critics of the party or its policies is to the free speech and freedom of the press rights of American citizens. It is something one might expect from China, or even communist Cuba.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the government can make a strong case that they are "public platforms" then doesn't it also follow that Trumps ban from social media was in fact a 1st Amendment infringement? Not that I miss his crap on twitter and the constant 24x7 news reports where they would lambast what he had just said, but it seems to me if the federal government is going to consider social media a public platform that they can effectively regulate then they are also bound by the 1st Amendment in what they can actually regulate.
You are correct. The things the regime is doing and the words said by the press Secretary play right into the arguments made by the Trump class action lawsuit.
There is nothing in Psaki's comments that indicates that the government can regulate the social media platforms
Trump's baseless lawsuit is merely a propaganda exercise and another Trump money-raising grift destined to fail, soon.
But it is scary. Psaki's comments imply that the WH wants social media to block speech and block members "for the public good". Isn't that what all authoritarian governments have always done, silence their critics?
You are correct, She did at the very least imply exactly that intent.
The government can indeed choose to pass laws to regulate the internet’s social media platforms. As to Trumps lawsuit, Psaki’s comments played right into a part of it.
You are totally wrong on both counts.
no sane person with an IQ over 70 wants to be bombarded with fascist propaganda 24/7.
It’s not up to you to label or limit the expression of view points you happen to disagree with.
He can label it whatever he wants. We call that freedom of speech. You constantly apply labels to everything you disagree with. Your comment is the height of hypocrisy. Typical.
But I don’t advocate for limiting the expression of viewpoints I disagree with even if they are engaging sub 70 IQ secular progressive communist propaganda 24/7.
I choose to describe it as what it is, fascist bullshit. how do you like the 1st amendment now?
I really don't care what you say about any thing on any given issue. The first amendment gives you the right to say it and me the right to completely disagree and disregard it all. limiting the 1st amendment free expression rights of other Americans is never ok. Even on social media.
Her words are why alternative news, social media as well as video sharing platforms and search engines are taking root. Now even cell smart phones that keep them all linked on one platform for the individual are all taking hold. We will not be moderated by government or by big tech. We will be who we are and express ourselves on our terms on our own created platforms and create two Americas on every figurative way rather than compromise who we are or what we believe to satisfy some effing liberals in media or government.
There is only one America, and then there is the divisive, neo-Fascist, Trumpist insurrectionist clique filled with hatred for America and the American way of life.
There is only one America, and then there is the divisive, neo-Communist secular progressive summer of love insurrectionist clique filled with hatred for America, it’s founders, it’s founding documents, it’s real history, and the exceptional American way.
Wow. What a completely unhinged, insane comment. It is so utterly ridiculous it is like parody of itself.
Living in the state of denial called Jeffersonia it's impossible to know the real America.
Wow. What a completely unhinged, insane comment. It is so utterly ridiculous it is a parody of itself.
As usual when you imitate my comments, I will point out the well-stated opinion of Oscar Wilde: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.
Your regular flattery of greatness is a real tribute.
Imagine Pee Wee Herman trying to rebut Christopher Hitchens.
If by "Biden Critics" you mean psyops level foreign propaganda and disinformation crafted to mislead, divide and inflame Americans in order to harm us,
then, YES! Nobody should give that crap a platform!
No one but you is talking about that. We are talking mainstream conservative thoughts and opinions being targeted by the white House regime. You are right that democrats should stop giving a platform to the CCP here in America across our media platforms.
Mainstream Trumpists fired all of them.
Mainstream Trumpists are mainstream conservatives.
Trumpists are the opposite of historically mainstream conservatives. Mainstream conservatives did not subscribe to a cult of personality devoted to the adoration of an authoritarian strong-man figure like Trump, did not disparage our democratic allies and ally with a fascist like Putin and would not support an insurrectionist attack on our national Capitol, among other things.
No conservative is going to care one bit about what your description or definition of us is
My description, of course, had nothing to do with real, historical conservatives. I was accurately describing unhinged Trumpist-Fascists, which, obviously, makes their heads explode.
This kind of drivel from Kyle Becker is why Trending Politics is listed as Questionable Source by MBFC.
The Headline is just to attract attention and is not supported by the article
without using a tin foil hat inverter to "read between the lines".
Kyle is a partisan catastrophizer, all panic, no substance.
Ah, another baseless attack the author/source rather than discuss the obvious topic of the article. A typical left wing strategy to disrupt and derail content that they don’t like and can’t delete.
all of the above is the government spokesperson in her own words describing deputizing big tech social media to censor conservative views government doesn’t like.
Your description of her comments is a total falsehood. Your comment is 180 degrees opposite from the truth.
The criticism of the author and source of the article is appropriate, right on point and highlights the utter lack of value of the truly pathetic propaganda piece.
Trumpists' primary modus operandi is to attempt to disrupt and derail. For example, disruption and derailment will, of course, be their sole objective if any Trumpists are appointed as members of the Select Committee to study the January 6th Trumpist insurrection.
It wasn’t my description. It was her directly being quoted word for word. They needed no description.
The attack on the author and the source is the disruption and derailing of this seed.
Kyle is a great American. He’s not a progressive left American. And yes the two are mutually exclusive.
He is an American who makes a living spreading biased political gossip, conspiracies and have truths while hiding behind the 1st Amendment.
Obviously or he would be working at a more reputable news "source". Objectivity is not one of his strengths.
Agree to Disagree.
Can you point out where in the article Biden critics are mentioned?
Psaki and others are sick of the misinformation being spread on social media.
If it's keeping people from getting vaccinated, it's a threat to public safety.
Have you seen the sincerity with which people are testifying that the vaccine made them or others magnetic?
Be careful who you root for on this.
Lot's of red state residents, may not be here to vote Republican in 2022 or 2024
if they insist on remaining unvaccinated.
I know it's a big ask, but IF you could read it objectively, I believe you would get her point.
Kyle Becker works for a great news source. He tells truth to power in taking on the msm, big tech social media, and the DC regime.
I get her point. The intent is to weaponize it to use in Trumps class action lawsuit against big tech social media and she proved the connection of government using big tech as an agent to violate the 1st amendment rights of Americans to freely express themselves. Censorship, content control, and viewpoint discrimination are great evils we face. No matter the provider or their gatekeeper.
