Rob Flaherty, President Biden’s then-Director of Digital Strategy, repeatedly put pressure on Facebook to explain its content decisions.

But that wasn’t enough for the Biden White House. Flaherty wanted Facebook to go a step further.
He wanted Facebook to kick people off its site. pic.twitter.com/zh2ccl9C1d

But that’s not all.
The Biden White House wanted to control what you saw on Facebook.
They questioned whether Facebook could change its algorithm so users saw more posts from the New York Times and less from the @realDailyWire and @TomiLahren. pic.twitter.com/oZUDDv6324

Facebook knew it had to act.
One employee tried to explain to the White House that if the company couldn’t “remove” content, it could at least “contain it.” pic.twitter.com/unlGNYpSAd

And of course, Facebook caved.
The company ADMITTED to the White House that it reduced content of certain posts – even if the posts didn’t violate the company’s terms and contained TRUE information.

These newly subpoenaed meeting notes continue to show the Biden White House’s desire to direct and control content on Facebook.
More evidence of the censorship-industrial complex.
