Big government and the propaganda wings of big tech and mainstream media collude together to censor any dissenting voice that actually makes an impact on the American public. Free speech is one of the most targeted by the left rights the American people have and take for granted. So powerful is the right of free speech that George Washington once remarked that if “freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

However, censorship is exactly what the government was been caught doing by colluding with big tech as their proxy. The Daily Caller reported, Judge Terry Doughty issued an order to refrain from further action over the White House’s efforts to censor the American people by getting big tech platforms like Facebook to do the heavy lifting.
The government’s defense after being caught was that such coordination, or basically the government asking social media companies to silence voices on their platform, did not violate these outlets’ content policies.

The judge described in his injunction efforts by the White House to censor a video that popular host Tucker Carlson made about vaccines in April 2021. On the 14th of April, Rob Flaherty, Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Digital Strategy, emailed Facebook with demands that the outlet censors Carlson and conservative firebrand Tomi Lahren for saying things he objected to about the vaccine.
Flaherty clearly resented that “Tucker Carlson saying vaccines don’t work and Tomi Lahren stating she won’t take a vaccine” made the top posts of the day about the vaccine issue.

In the email, the Deputy Assistant to the President observed that Facebook already promised him that such content would be demoted. “This is exactly why I want to know what ‘Reduction’ actually looks like – if ‘reduction’ means ‘pumping our most vaccine hesitant audience with Tucker Carlson saying it does not work’… then…I’m not sure it’s reduction” wrote an angry Flaherty.
Facebook replied with a prompt promise to the White House official that they would have a report for him by the end of the week
