The Biden speech police

 Daily Caller:

The Biden administration has frequently urged social media and technology companies to censor users, stressing the perceived dangers of “misinformation.”

White House press secretary Jen Psaki drew criticism after she said Tuesday that Spotify and other social media companies need to be “doing more” to stop the spread of “mis- and disinformation” on their platforms, echoing calls made in July for Facebook to remove posts containing vaccine misinformation. Psaki’s comments were in response to a question regarding backlash toward podcast host Joe Rogan, with whom Spotify has an exclusive contract, for hosting two guests who were skeptical of the COVID-19 vaccine’s safety and efficacy.

“Our hope is that all major tech platforms and all major news sources for that matter be responsible and be vigilant,” Psaki said. (RELATED: Left-Wing Activists Tied To ‘Disinformation’ Group Are Working To Demonetize Conservative News Sites)
Not The First Time

Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy took an even more aggressive stance toward Rogan and alleged vaccine misinformation in an interview with MSNBC on Jan. 25, saying tech companies and media organizations have an “important role to play” in curating information, and that “we” must “root out” misinformation.

“This not just about what the government can do,” Murthy said. “This is about companies and individuals recognizing that the only way we get past misinformation is if we are careful about what we say and use the power that we have to limit the spread of misinformation.”

Both Psaki and Murthy previously urged social media companies to take action against the spread of misinformation on their platforms on July 15, with Murthy releasing a “misinformation advisory” intended to instruct institutions, including tech companies, on how to handle false or misleading COVID-19 information.

The advisory recommended tech platforms “impose clear consequences for accounts that repeatedly violate platform policies” regarding COVID-19 misinformation and that platforms “redesign recommendation algorithms to avoid amplifying misinformation, build in “frictions”— such as suggestions and warnings—to reduce the sharing of misinformation, and make it easier for users to report misinformation.”

Following the release of the advisory, Psaki told reporters at a press conference that the White House was “flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation”

If they want to root out misinformation they should start with President Biden who is a virtual misinformation machine about several subjects.  Getting private companies to act as government censors is a slippery slope that should be avoided.  The best way to deal with errors of fact is to publicize them and not try to edit someone else's material.

Joe Rogan and Spotify aren’t in trouble for spreading false information. They’re in trouble for embarrassing the media and government officials who themselves pushed false information.
