Over 50 Biden Administration Employees, 12 US Agencies Involved in Social Media Censorship Push: Documents
Information provided by tech companies being sued reveal dozens of federal agencies and officials try to censor contrary COVID-19 commentary.
The documents were released during the discovery portion of a lawsuit Missouri and Louisiana filed against the Biden administration. The attorneys general claim President Joe Biden’s administration conducts a concerted effort to silence opposing views about COVID. Some health experts claiming damage from the federal censorship effort later joined the legal action.
“If there was ever any doubt the federal government was behind censorship of Americans who dared to dissent from official Covid messaging, that doubt has been erased,” said Jenin Younes, a New Civil Liberties Alliance attorney representing some plaintiffs in the case.
“The shocking extent of the government’s involvement in silencing Americans, through coercing social-media companies, has now been revealed.”

Senior officials in the U.S. government, including White House lawyer Dana Remus, deputy assistant to the president Rob Flaherty, and onetime White House senior COVID-19 adviser Andy Slavitt, have been in touch with one or more major social media companies to try to get the companies to tighten rules on allegedly false and misleading information on COVID-19, and take action against users who violate the rules, the documents show.
In July 2021, for instance, after Biden said that Facebook was “killing people” by not combating misinformation effectively, an executive at Meta reached out to Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, a Biden appointee, to say that government and Meta teams met after the remarks “to better understand the scope of what the White House expects from us on misinformation going forward.”
The same executive later wrote to Murthy saying, “I wanted to make sure you saw the steps we took just this past week to adjust policies on what we are removing with respect to misinformation, as well as steps taken to further address the ‘disinfo dozen,’” including removing pages linked to the group.
The White House publicly pressured social media companies to take action against a group that officials dubbed the “disinformation dozen,” which a nonprofit claimed were producing the bulk of “anti-vaccine misinformation” on the platforms. Also in July 2021, Murthy said Facebook hadn’t done enough to combat misinformation.
Flaherty, director of digital strategy for the White House, told Slavitt and others in April 2021 that White House staff would be briefed by Twitter “on vaccine misinfo,” with the meeting including “ways the White House (and our COVID experts) can partner in product work,” according to one of the messages.
