Joe “I am the Democratic Party” Biden issued a “special plea” to social media companies to “please deal with the misinformation and disinformation [about COVID] that’s on your shows. It has to stop.”
The clip is bizarre in many ways, not the least of which is the repeated references to the military stepping up juxtaposed against his “special plea” for Big Tech censorship (who are, apparently, in doddering Joe’s estimation not yet doing enough to censor ‘wrongthink’).
Watch:
Biden is Commander in Chief of the United States military per the Constitution. He has zero Constitutional authority over social media companies, yet the implication seems clear here: Big Tech needs to step up as the military has done to help fight against “one of the most formidable enemies America has ever faced.”
Stop laughing. He is serious. And that is horrifying.
Big Tech, never one to back down from Biden’s leftist government “pleas,” has responded by going to war with conservatives, purging them from social and alternative media just as the military under political hack Lloyd Austin is purging ‘wrongthink’ from its ranks.

A conglomerate of activist “scientists” urge Spotify to respond to Biden’s “special plea”:
I’ll leave you with this observation by Glenn Greenwald (read his below linked substack piece):
I’d like to share Greenwald’s optimism here, but it may be difficult to prove coercion given that Big Tech has been enthusiastically and willfully purging, shadow banning, and otherwise suppressing rightthink reach for years now.
Based on this presidential “special plea” and previous WH statements about the need for social media to do the job government cannot, there may be a means to build a case for collusion between the Biden government and Big Tech to circumvent the First Amendment rights of Americans (as the Supremes recently noted was done with the now-defunct OSHA vaccine mandate).
