The Dems censorship cabal

 Mike Miller:

...

The New York Post on Sunday published a piece by investigative journalist Miranda Devine about a little-noticed federal lawsuit, Missouri v. Biden, that “is uncovering astonishing evidence of an entrenched censorship scheme cooked up between the federal government and Big Tech that would make Communist China proud.” (Note: While the lawsuit hasn’t been extensively covered by the legacy media, RedState has reported on it, including smoking gun emails obtained via the discovery process which demonstrate the coordination.)

According to Devine, 67 government officials or agencies — including the FBI — are accused in the lawsuit of violating the First Amendment by pressuring Facebook, Twitter, and Google to censor users for alleged misinformation or disinformation.

Victims of the Biden-Big Tech’s “censorship enterprise,” Devine said, include The Post, whose Hunter Biden laptop exposé was suppressed by Facebook, and then Twitter in October 2020 after “the FBI went to Facebook warning them with great specificity to watch out for a ‘dump’ of Russian disinformation, pertaining to Joe Biden, with an uncanny resemblance to our stories.”

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who’s leading the action, summarized the lawsuit:

We allege that top-ranking Biden administration officials colluded with those social media companies to suppress speech about the Hunter Biden laptop story, the origins of COVID-19, the efficacy of masks, and election integrity.

Devine further said Big Tech censorship is related to alleged “misinformation” about COVID pandemic lockdowns and vaccines, as well as material from esteemed infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists that proved over time to be correct — and eventually, much of which was adopted as official policy by the CDC.

The list of defendants includes:

  • FBI special agents Elvis Chan and Laura Dehmlow, who gave Facebook that detailed “disinformation” briefing right before The Post was censored
  • White House press secretaries, current and former, Karine Jean-Pierre and Jen Psaki
  • Dr. Anthony Fauci, the president’s chief medical adviser
  • Former White House senior COVID-19 adviser Andrew Slavitt
  • Counsel to President Biden Dana Remus
  • The DHS over the disbanded Disinformation Governance Board
  • The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
  • The FDA
  • The State Department
  • The US Election Assistance Commission.

The civil action was filed by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana, noted Devine, in partnership with “such red-pilled lawyers as Jenin Younes at the New Civil Liberties Alliance.” (Biden’s sleazy attorney general, Merrick Garland was unavailable for comment.)

The case overlaps a separate lawsuit by COVID-response critic and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson, whose legal victories so far forced Twitter to reinstate his account after he was banned over his COVID reporting. But as Devine noted, the “cat and mouse game continues as Berenson is currently suspended again.”

Banning and censoring conservative opinion and factual information, under the false pretense of misinformation or disinformation, that contradict the lies and narratives of the Biden administration and upset the supreme potentates of Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, and other Big Tech companies, smacks of the heady days of the Soviet Union and today’s Communist China.

...

Those responsible for censorship are rarely the good guys and that is certainly the case here.  These people tried to suppress relevant information because it did not fit their preferred narrative, and not because it was wrong.
