Big Tech Isn’t A Victim In Biden’s Speech Crackdown, It’s A Partner
A trove of documents obtained in part from a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt written up this week by Ken Klippenstein and Lee Fang at The Intercept provides further proof that the government works hand in glove with the world s biggest tech companies to remove, manage, curate, and otherwise censor what Americans can see and say online.
This isn t a surprise. Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said as much from the White House podium in July of 2021. Other documents obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests have added tangible evidence to her claim. But what makes this recent revelation significant is the extent to which the tech companies have been involved in developing government protocols, responding to government requests, and otherwise managing the cozy system by which the government uses the technology companies to police speech.
