A recent House Judiciary Committee report has revealed that the Biden administration exerted pressure on major tech companies, including Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon, to enforce censorship policies. The report details instances where these companies were allegedly threatened with severe consequences unless they complied with demands to censor content. This included suppressing information that contradicted the administration's policies on COVID-19, such as the lab leak theory and vaccine efficacy. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, disclosed in previously unseen texts that the White House had pressured the company to censor certain content, including anti-vaccine memes and discussions around the lab leak theory of COVID-19.
