Seriously if Jim Jordan buys the BSthat big tech and social media were coerced by the Bidan Admin, he’s more naive than I thought.
This is a Jordan clean up job because he is funded by Google, FB and other Tech Companies? He’s using the Judiciary Committee to defend them, exactly what they expect by funding his PAC

THE YOUTUBE FILES PART 2.

EXCLUSIVE: Biden Admin Praised YouTube’s Censorship, Used It To Pressure Facebook To Intensify…

Rep. Jim Jordan
.@JudiciaryGOP and @Weaponization obtained internal Google & Facebook docs revealing which Big Tech companies buckled first under pressure from the Biden White House to censor Americans’ posts,including true statements, jokes, memes, and opinions.
Rep. Jim Jordan
And once YouTube (Google) relented to censoring more content, the Biden White House used that as leverage to further increase the pressure on Facebook to do the same.

Rep. Jim Jordan
Remember how the Biden White House was “outraged” that Facebook didn’t censor a meme?
Rep. Jim Jordan
What did the Biden White House want removed?
A meme.
That’s right, even memes weren’t spared from the Biden White House’s censorship efforts.
Rep. Jim Jordan
In that same April 2021 “hour long call,” Biden White House Senior Advisor Andy Slavitt warned Nick Clegg, Facebook’s President for Global Affairs, that “YT has made significant advances to remove content leading to vaccine hesitancy whilst [Facebook has] lagged behind.”

Rep. Jim Jordan
That’s right. The Biden Admin praised Google for censoring Americans while criticizing Facebook.
In an internal Facebook email obtained by @JudiciaryGOP & @Weaponization, Clegg described his call with the Biden White House regarding censorship.
Rep. Jim Jordan
The email reveals that Nick Clegg—former UK Deputy Prime Minister—tried to reason with the Biden White House that, under America’s First Amendment, “removing content like that would represent a significant incursion into traditional boundaries of free expression in the US.”

Rep. Jim Jordan
But the Biden White House was unmoved, and the response to Facebook was clear: you need to be like Google and YouTube and censor more.
Rep. Jim Jordan
In response to the White House’s demands, Clegg asked
his colleagues at Facebook to check whether the content is available
on YouTube because the White House’s “assumption is that [YouTube]
would never accept something like this.”
(This is utter bullshit, Clegg is playing a roll as an adversary of limiting free speech, when Youtube does nothing than censor free speech. I think this email chain was set up as plausible deniability)
2:26 PM · Dec 1, 2023
Rep. Jim Jordan
But why did Facebook and Google/YouTube relent to the White House’s pressure?
Because the companies had other policy priorities that they feared the White House could use as leverage against them.
Dec 1, 2023
Rep. Jim Jordan
Facebook executives warned that they had “bigger fish to fry.”
2:26 PM · Dec 1, 2023
Rep. Jim Jordan
Meanwhile, the Google/YouTube Gov’t Affairs team cautioned that they were“seek[ing] to work closely with [the Biden] administration on multiple policy fronts.”
Rep. Jim Jordan
And so the gatekeepers of the modern town square relented—they censored Americans’ true speech and even jokes—all to appease the censors in the Biden White House.

Rep. Jim Jordan
While the Biden @WhiteHouse is trying to obstruct our investigation and hide its role in censoring Americans, the investigation by the @JudiciaryGOP and @Weaponization continues to make progress.
Rep. Jim Jordan
Yesterday, we issued deposition subpoenas to two senior Biden White House officials, Rob Flaherty and Andy Slavitt, who were central to communicating the Biden White House’s censorship demands.
