The Biden censorship regime

 The Federalist Wire:

In a glaring example of how deeply entrenched censorship has become in the Biden administration, Rob Flaherty, a Biden/Harris surrogate, took it upon himself to personally reach out to social media giants in a blatant effort to scrub criticism of then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden from the internet ahead of the 2020 election.

This wasn’t just a one-off power grab; the administration later brought Flaherty into the fold as White House Director of Digital Strategy, where he continues to communicate with Big Tech, pushing them to suppress the voices of private citizens online.

On Wednesday, independent journalist Matt Orfalea exposed this collusion by posting footage of a Zoom call on X. The call, which took place in mid-November 2020—just days after the mainstream media had declared Biden the president-elect—reveals the extent to which the Biden/Harris campaign was willing to go to silence opposition.

During the call, Flaherty, who served as the Biden/Harris campaign’s Digital Director, bragged, “One of the smartest things I think that the [Democratic] Party did itself was that over the last couple of years, they actually invested in a team … to detect and track misinformation.”

But what he and his Democratic colleagues labeled “misinformation” was often nothing more than legitimate criticism of their candidate.

Flaherty made it clear that this team, led by Democratic activist Tim Durigan, was in charge of identifying these so-called “misinformation narratives” online and flagging them to platforms as violations.

What they were really doing was labeling position speech they disagreed with as "misinformation."   They were attempting to censor the opposition to their agenda.  They were also attempting to suppress information about Biden's cognitive decline.
