GOP AGs Uncover Proof Of Collusion Between Biden And Big Tech
Today
Republican Attorneys General from Missouri and Louisiana hit the jackpot on Thursday when the litigation they filed against senior Biden administration officials in May — regarding the federal government’s relationship with big tech companies — turned up emails and documents confirming some of their worst fears.
In a lengthy Twitter thread from Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt — also the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate this November — outlined some of what the lawsuit produced and why it may only be the tip of the Biden-big tech collusion iceberg.
The result of discovery requests and third-party subpoenas, the documents obtained by the AGs showed that the official responses from the suit’s Biden administration defendants omitted several relationships between big tech and other federal agencies such as the Census Bureau and Departments of Treasury and State.
According to a joint release from Schmitt and Louisiana AG Jeff Landry, they caught the Biden admin’s apparent attempt to conceal additional relationships with big tech:
Meta, for example, has disclosed that at least 32 federal officials—including senior officials at the FDA, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, and the White House—have communicated with Meta about content moderation on its platforms, many of whom were not disclosed in response to Plaintiffs’ interrogatories to Defendants.
YouTube disclosed eleven federal officials engaged in such communications, including officials at the Census Bureau and the White House, many of whom were also not disclosed by Defendants.
Here’s some of the smoking-gun communications proving the Biden administration was actively working with big tech companies to stifle or censor free expression on a range of issues, including an email from Facebook to Biden’s surgeon general about a meeting between the two entities during which White House expectations regarding Facebook’s policies on “misinformation” were discussed.
The same senior official sent a later email to HHS and noted, "Thanks again for taking the time to meet earlier today." Then, the official continued to discuss how Facebook is taking even more steps to censor freedom of speech https://ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/press-...55bd83df_2
It wasn’t just Facebook colluding with the Biden administration, either. Twitter scheduled meetings with White House officials to discuss “vaccine misinformation.”

There are several instances where Facebook wouldn’t proceed with censoring freedom of speech on their platform until they had input, or a “debunking” from the CDC. Twitter followed the same course in at least one email.
The CDC also proposed a monthly debunking meeting with Facebook to help them censor free speech as well as regular “Be on the Lookout” calls with major social media outlets.
A White House official was even concerned about parody Fauci accounts and coordinated with Facebook to take them down.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) reached out to Twitter, Google, Meta, and Microsoft following the botched rollout of DHS’ Disinformation Governance Board:
The Deputy Secretary at Treasury sought to connect with social media platforms and influence operations on social media.
Missouri and Louisiana will continue to fight to get to the bottom of this alleged collusion and expose the suppression of freedom of speech by social media giants at the behest of top-ranking government officials.
