Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt claimed on Thursday that the Biden administration and major tech companies conspired to suppress free speech using at least 88 separate messages during the pandemic.
In May, Missouri and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry filed a lawsuit alleging “how senior Biden administration officials conspired with social media companies to censor free speech on a range of topics, including COVID-19.” In Schmitt’s statement. After Schmitt won the lawsuit in July, the DOJ (DOJ) had to disclose to the plaintiff a total of 88 messages between the Biden administration and social media showing how the Biden administration and major tech companies collaborated to “censor free speech.” . ”
“In response to interrogations in Missouri and Louisiana, the defendants DHS, CISA, CDC, NIAID, and Surgeon General’s Office (all hosted by DHS or HHS) are reporting “false information” and censorship on social media platforms, Schmitt said. “In addition to the DOJ, Meta identified 32 federal officials who contacted them, including White House officials, and YouTube identified 11 federal officials who contacted them, including White House officials, many of which were not disclosed by the DOJ. ” .
Schmitt given Specific examples of how the Biden administration and major tech companies are coordinating to stifle free speech on platforms:
A senior FB official sent an email to the Surgeon General, “I know our teams are meeting today to better understand what the White House expects us to do about forward disinformation.” This e-mail thread follows up on the July 2021 “SG advice on false health information.”
The same senior official emailed HHS and said, “Thanks again for taking the time to meet so early today.” The official then went on to discuss how Facebook took further steps to censor freedom of expression.

Additional reports, “Facebook amplifies the strength of our negative votes for COVID and vaccine-related content, which third-party fact-checkers consider ‘partially false’ or ‘missing context’.”
This content will now be removed to the same extent as any content rated as “False” on our platform.
Twitter has scheduled a meeting with senior White House officials about “vaccine misinformation.”
Schmitt also said there are times when Facebook’s administration is reluctant to comply with alleged censorship requests until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides input or rejects statements that the administration allegedly wants to suppress. Schmitt also explained that the CDC wants to hold monthly meetings to review Facebook posts:
There are some instances where Facebook will not censor free speech on its platform until it receives information from the CDC or has “debunked” it. Twitter followed the same path in at least one email.
The CDC also suggested holding monthly whistleblower meetings on Facebook and regular “Attention” calls on major social media to help them censor free speech.
