After the left was whipped into a hysteric fit over the suspension of unpopular “comedian” Jimmy Kimmel, they are oddly silent today.
The Biden administration launched an all out war on free speech pressuring platforms to censor individuals who posted about Covid-19 or election matters in a way the regime disliked.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
Representative Jim Jordan took to X today to announce that Google has capitulated on its draconian censorship ‘rules’ over the past several years and has vowed to reinstate previously banned accounts on the YouTube platform.
Rep. Jordan wrote, “Due to our oversight efforts, GOOGLE commits to offer ALL creators previously kicked off YouTube due to political speech violations to return to the platform.”
In follow up posts to X, Rep. Jordan reveals some of the specific details. For example, YouTube “admits the Biden administration censorship pressure was ‘unacceptable and wrong’” and “confirms that the Biden administration wanted Americans censored for speech that did not violate YouTube’s policies.”
YouTube states:
“Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies. While the Company continued to develop and enforce its policies independently, Biden Administration officials continued to press the Company to remove non-violative user-generated content.”
“As online platforms…grappled with these decisions, the Administration’s officials, including President Biden, created a political atmosphere that sought to influence the actions of platforms based on their concerns regarding misinformation.”
What happened to the First Amendment Jimmy Kimmel freedom fighters on the left? Why are they so silent in the face of actual government overreach?
It is almost as though they never cared about the First Amendment at all.
