White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday that the White House is not only working with Facebook to flag disinformation on vaccines — it’s also asking Facebook to share data on the reach and engagement of posts deemed disinformation.
“We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation,” the White House press secretary said. Facebook, which did not respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation, was one of several social media platforms that attempted to suppress discussion of the theory that COVID-19 originated in a Wuhan lab. Evidence has since been uncovered suggesting the theory holds merit.
Senior Biden administration staff and members of the COVID-19 team are targeting misinformation, specifically on coronavirus vaccines and the pandemic, by keeping “in regular touch” with social media platforms, Psaki said Thursday.

Hmm, Ralphie wonders if the Trump administration suppressed misinformation about, let's see...Russian collusion? Me thinks there would be a slightly different reaction.

So, Facebook reaffirms its role as a state agent.

Of course in my typical sarcastic manner, texted a conservative friend yesterday and said "Hey, wanna share COVID misinformation to see if Verizon snitches on us?".

I would LOVE to see the lawsuit from such an action.

This is the making of a real legit 1st Amendment lawsuit.

Psychoi is actually making the case for Trump's lawsuit.
I'm expecting the judge is not going to allow the defense to use the terms 'misinformation' and 'disinformation' as exonerating argument-points.
A court only recognizes falsehoods and truths as reasoning-chips to defend the censorship.

And the state reaffirms it is bypassing the 1st Amendment by dictating limits on free expression on social media.

Anything other than crickets from the ACLU?

Press Sec. Psucky causes two problems for the left by blatantly turning Facebook into a state actor. 1. It'll kill the lefty but it's a private company argument. 2. This guarantees this section 230 will be overhauled sooner rather than later.

I'm just surprised that this is just now coming to light. You can't convince me that President * and his handlers didn't jump all over this on the afternoon of 20 Jan 21.
OF COURSE Grandpa Gropey's handlers are "working with social media platforms" to control the narrative. As Homer Simpson would say:
"Doh!"
