President Biden said social media platforms such as Facebook were 'killing people' as the White House on Friday doubled down on the danger of COVID-19 misinformation.He spoke to reporters minutes after the issue dominated a White House press briefing, with reporters asking whether the administration was spying on American citizens by flagging misleading, dangerous information.As he left for a weekend at Camp David, Biden was asked if he had a message for social media companies like Facebook. 'They’re killing people. I mean it really,' he said.

"Misinformation" has become the equivalent of the Soviet Union's "Anti-revolution".

The lazy lefties can't win the debate on substance and choose to abuse those who might disagree. Young proto-commies are being instructed in this manner of dispute. No honor. No principles. Total beatch fight.
No wonder they all try to murder each other once in power.

Put an orange wig on Mr. Undershirt and he could BE Psaki. Now that would be funny.

The CDC has been simply dreadful starting with its failure to develop a test kit, its inability to gather COVID infection data in a timely fashion, and its really sloppy communications. Its VAERS is a prime initiator of undigested misinformation.
I wish Biden would shut the CDC down in Atlanta and reopen in with no affirmative action employees in a city with multiple medical schools to sustain it.

Thousands did die thanks to the lies put out by the Democrats like Biden, the media and others. Anything Trump mentioned had to be labeled as bad or made illegal, even if it would save thousands of lives.

If you aren't familiar with the term 'regulatory capture', you should be.
It's almost certainly why the CDC acts like they work for Big Pharma rather than acting like they work for the American people.

If the vaccines are safe, then why do the pharmaceutical companies need the protection from lawsuits they have been given by the government? Why doesn't the government allow themselves to be sued, instead of hiding behind the sovereignty shield? When they allow lawsuits, then we will see if they keep pushing these vaccinations, or if they start putting warning labels on them from the Surgeon General, check with your doctor warnings from the pharmaceutical companies. We would also see billions of dollars in agreed to out of court settlements with the victims.

If Government employees aren't monitoring social media posts how are they "identifying" the information they demand social media sites take down? Jen Psaki's thinks she tells useful lies but to be useful they need to be more coherent.

Who gets to say what is true? The Ministry of Truth? When the Republicans take back our Congress next year, do they get to decide what is true?

Yep, here come the thought police.
FTA- Fox News' Peter Doocy asked: 'For how long has the administration been spying on people’s Facebook profiles looking for vaccine misinformation?'
Jen Psaki did not like that question, but he nailed it. The United Sate government is monitoring speech and deciding what is "truth."
No one in the U.S. government should be spying, censoring, and deciding what is truth, especially when lying, liberal Marxists are in power.

How many people have been accused of passing on "misinformation" about Covid-19 and the vaccines simply by asking questions about them, or seeking clarification on official announcements and directives which are inconsistent with each other?.

The administration won't admit that Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine might work since that would negate the emergency approval for the vaccine "since there is no treatment available."

With all the lies about numbers of cases with death counts, bad money flowing into evil hands lying to us like Fauci did, a quickie approved vaccine when other treatments could have worked I wouldn't trust these people to make me a ham sandwich. Spying is everywhere but just sometimes it does 'circle back' to bite you in this case Joe Biden was just treated to it. Now get your darn vaccines you dog face pony soldiers.

O'Dumdum knew how to train his sycophants in the media to keep them on his side and maintaining the Goebbels program. The Biden administration seems to have lost that gentle touch, or they don't care. Joe will need them one day soon when he loses all of his other little friends.

The other day he was yapping about something and said, "that's not hyperbole." My goodness, virtually everything this man and his administration says is hyperbolic. Voter ID is the biggest threat to the country since the Civil War. People who post skeptical comments about masks and vaccines on Facebook are killing people. I'm sorry Mr. President, but I'm not feeling any of that unity and healing you promised us. Maybe you could start by toning things down a bit.

I suspect that the swamp has been spying on Americans for many years... it's now out in the opening.. thanks to President Trump... he made US aware of how dangerous the swamp is... not only vicious and mean... but very un/American...WE have a government installed by the swamp and determined to verbally beat the freedom from our hearts ...and in bed with our enemies...china and Russia has been trying for complete control of our country and now they have the corrupt biden/obama regime to help them... stay strong America...soros must not win...

1. Since these platforms are now censoring/regulating what is on their platforms,that makes them publishers and not eligible for the exemption they currently have. they should be sued.
2. Since when are people so stupid they can't read differing opinions on a topic (vaccines), do further research, and come to their own free conclusions?
3. No where does the Constitution state the government needs to regulate free speech. This is not yelling FIRE in a theater.
4. When in the course of human events....

This is yet another exhibit to show why you NEVER allow leftists to be in positions of power. There’s no such thing as ‘mis-‘ or ‘dis-information’. There’s only information. Labeling information as anything else is nothing but an attempt to control the narrative.
To be in league or to coerce this unholy alliance between the Swamp, Big Tech and Big Pharma is empowering multi-national corporations to become quasi-state actors and then allows the USG to bypass the U.S. Constitution.
Leftists cannot stand an evidence-based counter argument to their positions and worldview. Deep down they admit that if someone challenges and scrutinizes their positions, doing so will cause an unraveling. Accordingly, that’s why they demonize their opponents and will try to shut down opposition by any means necessary. We’re seeing it now with the Wuhan flu hype, mandates to vaccinate (really an excuse for data gathering and tracking) and the 2020 election fraud cover up.
Once lefties and their schemes are exposed, they run for cover like the roaches they really are.

Hard to believe those that are doing this grew up on '1984', 'Brave New World' 'Fahrenheit 451' and the lessons they learned wasn't to beware of these societal cultures. No, they learned but to apply the techniques described in these books for their own purposes. Primers in totalitarianism.

There was a time few trusted government...starting with the Revolution. What has happened to make GOVERNMENT the central support of our daily lives? In the 1960s we had a "credibility gap" created by LBJ and McNamara's daily Vietnam body counts and "light at the end of the tunnel" pronouncements of victory. That was followed by Nixon's "Secret Plan" and other shadiness.
Distrust is not treason. It is an obligation to be skeptical of government and its motives. We are there again, and government reacts predictably. But this time the news reporters have become press agent and shills for government, propagandists. And that's scary...for an "informed" public is necessary for our government to properly function.

Even "misinformation" is protected by the First Amendment. Biden is potentially violating the First Amendment by coercing social media platforms to censor what is posted on their sites. And if the platforms comply, they are getting pretty close to being state actors, subject to the First Amendment.

#15, there is a treatment available. Regeneron and similar monoclonal antibody drugs. They have experimental approval, too.

Finally, someone in the news has pointed out that combined state and corporate power is the hallmark of fascism. It is right out of Mussolini's Fascism 101 textbook. All PANTIFA does is call people they disagree with ''fascist'' and claim that they are ''fighting fascism'', yet here right in front of us is the police powers of the state attempting to collude with large corporations for the express purpose of controlling the activities of citizens.

Pretty ironic considering the Biden administration is the biggest misinformation spreader out there.
So much for Freedom of speech.
To para-phrase Benjimin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential liberty for temporary safety, deserve, (and will probably end up with ) neither."

The Democrats fought President Trump every inch of the way in trying to minimize the impact of Covid-19 in the US.
When President Trump stopped flights from China, they said he was paranoid and racist.
When President Trump warned that Covid spread easily through the air, they said this was nonsense and encouraged people to gather in large group celebrations.
When President Trump started operation "Warp Speed" to develop vaccines before the end of the year, they claimed it couldn't be done and it was reckless and dangerous to try.
When President Trump reported that Doctors were reporting that hydroxychloroquine helped in treating Covid, they claimed the that the medication dangerous and deadly.
When the vaccines were approved, the Democrats said they were risky to take, yet they were the very first to receive the shots in January 2021.
All of these claims by Democrats were misinformation. If anybody is guilty of "killing people by spreading COVID-19 misinformation" it is the Democrats.

Joe, how about the tens of thousands you (and other democrats) actually did kill by denying the effectiveness and access to drugs that fought Covid? Example, Hydrochloroquine and Remdesivir? You denied these drugs worked just because Donald Trump said they did work, and you wanted to score a cheap political point. Yes, people actually died because of you!

Government misinformation is really killing people. I just heard a news report that 5 unvaccinated people in a nursing home died with Covid. They don’t report how many people in nursing homes die after getting the jab. My 96 year old mother is in a nursing home and one of the ladies living there who was healthy and has survived the epidemic so far along with all the other residents, got the jab and died 5 days later. This happens every day. Over 8000 people in the US have died after getting the jab. They never report on it. Damage control so they don’t scare people.
