freedom of speech scares all who have things to conceal;
Two Biden staffers who screamed and swore at Meta workers for refusing to censor accurate posts and memes about Covid vaccines have been named and shamed.
The House Judiciary Committee named former senior Biden advisor Andy Slavitt and former White House digital director Rob Flaherty as the two who demanded the social media company remove posts which criticized vaccines.
The report, which was released last year, has been recirculated after Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg, 40, told Joe Rogan last Friday about the bullying his staff had to endure at the hands of Biden staff.
The meme that outraged Slavitt was a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at a TV in the movie 'Once Upon A Time in Hollywood' which said: '10 years from now you're going to see an ad that says if you took a Covid vaccine you'd be eligible for a payment.'
Communications between the two top mandarins and Meta's President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg were shared in the report concerning the post.
Clegg described his efforts to explain the First Amendment to Slavitt saying the latter was 'outraged - that we did not remove this post.'
Slavitt and the administration were irate by the caption of the post.
Clegg pushed back against their demands, saying: 'I countered that removing content like that would represent a significant incursion into traditional boundaries of free expression in the US.'........more........
