Every time I think the incestuous relationship between tech giants and the US federal government couldn’t possibly turn out to be worse than I thought, it turns out to be worse than I thought.
This newest reveal is so yucky it almost makes me feel sorry for the execs at Facebook.
Allow me to repeat that: I almost feel sorry. For the execs. At FACEBOOK.
Congratulations Biden White House, you win1
Here’s what happened: As part of their ongoing attempt to quash the free speech of an entire nation by targeting dissenters to the Approved Narrative surrounding COVID-19, the higher ups at Facebook were asked to remove a meme. When they decided not to, CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg relayed that Andy Slavitt, a senior adviser to Joe Biden, was “outraged– not too strong a word to describe his reaction– that [they] did not remove” it.
Would you like to see the meme so dangerous, so offensive to our rights and wellbeing as a society, that Biden advisers were OUTRAGED that it was allowed to stay up?
What did the Biden White House want removed?

A meme.
That’s right, even memes weren’t spared from the Biden White House’s censorship efforts. pic.twitter.com/6BhDxTHsUi
HILARIOUS. Great meme. 8/10, with points deducted just because I can’t stand Leo DiCaprio’s face. (It has nothing to do with his acting, his politics, or his predilection for 19-year-olds. It’s entirely arbitrary and illogical and I will be taking neither questions nor criticisms on the subject.)
National Review reports,
“Recounting his conversation with Slavitt, [Facebook President for Global Affairs Nick] Clegg said in the email that he pushed back on the demand, pointing out ‘that removing content like that would represent a significant incursion into traditional boundaries of free expression in the US.’ However, Slavitt rejected the argument altogether, according to the high-ranking Facebook official: ‘he replied that the post directly comparing Covid vaccines to asbestos poisoning in a way which demonstrably inhibits confidence in Covid vaccines amongst those the Biden administration is try to reach.’”
I think what Slavitt and company were actually worried about was giving Americans any funny ideas about who they might hold culpable in the scenario that the COVID vaccine did them more harm than good.
But that doesn’t matter anyway. It was miracle medicine created through the collaboration of Jesus, Allah, and Buddha themselves. Blessed be the vaccine and all those who partake. Praise Biden for the mighty gift of perfect health it bestowed.
It’s fine.

Can we give credit where credit is due for Nick Clegg pushing back against a blatant attempt at government censorship? Even a broken clock is right sometimes.
