A total of 57 Censorship Initiatives were put into action by the Biden administration to disrupt opposition from conservative voices, according to Media Research Center (MRC).
The group’s latest report detailed how Biden’s team colluded with social media platforms to silence conservatives by using taxpayer dollars to fund censorship organizations.
In addition to those efforts, the MRC says there were at least 90 different government agencies including many government officials that were policing online free speech that stood in opposition to the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 protocols promoting the covid vaccine and school closures.
Example of the administration’s methods include:
The White House Pressuring Amazon.com to ban books critical of the government’s position on vaccination and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Department of Justice getting an activist judge to ban Big Tech platform X, formerly known as Twitter, and its owner, Elon Musk, from notifying users of the government’s surveillance.
The White House and the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Disease harassing and threatening Meta (Facebook) employees into censoring content critical of Biden’s COVID-19 policies.
The State Department authoring and signing an agreement with over 20 foreign nations pledging to pressure Big Tech platforms to censor more.
Department of Homeland Security attempting to create a ministry of truth, named the “Disinformation Governance Board” which would police online speech.
When Biden came into office in 2021, Biden stated that his opponents were spreading “Bad information” and “Anyone listening to it is getting hurt.” Biden claimed Big Tech platforms declining to contract with censorship outfits were “Contrary to everything America’s about” and “Really shameful.” Biden also crudely shouted that Facebook (now Meta) was “killing people” by not censoring enough.
In their report, MRC says under Attorney General Merrick Garland’s watch, the Department of Justice refused to prosecute or even launch a single investigation into federal government censorship.
