Yes, Mark Zuckerberg coming clean on Facebook censorship truly matters, as it cuts down Harris-Walz, ‘experts’ claiming to fight ‘misinformation’
· New York PostPlenty of folks have a “now he tells us” take on Mark Zuckerberg’s letter detailing (and regretting) Facebook’s censorship of COVID dissent and of The Post’s October 2020 Hunter-laptop scoops.
But the Meta CEO setting the record straight absolutely matters, because the Biden-Harris-Walz crowd, and the forces behind them, are still all-in on social-media censorship in the name of fighting “misinformation.”
As is the left worldwide, from Canada and Brazil to France and Britain.
Zuck’s letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan basically just admits what the committee proved in hearings a year ago:
1) Kamala and Joe’s administration “pressured” Facebook to censor COVID-related content that question the government’s line, quashing not just opinion, but everything from satire to 100% accurate science.
2) Facebook bent to that pressure.
3) Facebook also suppressed our laptop reporting, news highly relevant to the 2020 election.
That last, incidentally, was covered up on purpose by the West’s “disinformation experts,” including at the FBI: Long before we got the laptop, they were conditioning US media and social media to expect a “Russian disinformation” dump centered on Hunter’s sleazy dealings in Ukraine.
Reinforcing it was the Biden-Harris campaign’s own disinformation effort — ginning up the “Spies Who Lie” letter.
And it was all preceded by the Hillary Clinton campaign’s disinfo success in creating the supposed Russiagate scandal by paying for utterly made-up “opposition research” on Donald Trump.
The New York Times and Washington Post won Pulitzer Prizes for their roles in advancing that total false narrative.
Disinformation is a real thing; it goes back to long before Vladimir Putin’s professional forebears fabricated “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.”
But the self-appointed “disinfo experts” across the West who claim that the way to fight it is to let them censor the rest of us are utter frauds.
They have their grip on the UK’s Labour Party, the Democrats here in America and other left-of-center parties across the West.
Under Harris and Biden, they briefly got their Ministry of Truth in the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board.
And they did have a White House office, with branches across the US intelligence committee and a guest-star role by Dr. Anthony Fauci, dedicated to the vast social-media censorship exposed by the Twitter Files and Jordan’s committee.
Democrats on that committee, by the way, used their time in the hearings to attack the journalists who’d exposed the Big Brother feds.
And have you seen the video of veep-nominee Tim Walz (falsely) explaining, “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy”?
So, yes, it absolutely matters that Mark Zuckerberg has come clean, and taken steps so that Facebook won’t get fooled again.
Because the “experts” are still busy plotting how to grab more power if Harris and Walz win this November — and looking to help make that happen.
