Contained in the silo of the “legacy media,” they’re alarmed that left-tilting authorities bureaucrats are being discouraged from telling social media platforms what speech they need to suppress … within the identify of “democracy.”
In 2020, these platforms crushed damaging tales about Hunter Biden and “conspiracy theories” about COVID rising from a Chinese language lab. It would not matter now that the “suppressed” facet was right, and the “misinformation” truly got here from the Left. The Washington Publish expressed alarm below the headline: “U.S. stops helping Big Tech spot foreign meddling amid GOP legal threats.”
Discover the Biden gang and the leftist everlasting paperwork are described because the “U.S.,” like they’re super-neutral.
