Facebook specifically in terms of censorship is so aggro they go crazy mode censoring any and every public display any kind of [ __ ] sentiment about Pro Palestinians Palestinian emancipation they literally ban students for justice uh justice in Palestine the Columbia group yesterday [Music] we do turn now to a story breaking overnight Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg claims he was pressured by the White House to censor content related to co9 during the pandemic Aaron kki joins us now with details Aaron good morning good morning to you Whit for years critics have taken aim at Facebook for silencing views that challenge the general consensus in the medical community especially about the origin of covid-19 now Facebook's founder surprisingly says they're right this morning met a chief Mark Zuckerberg admitting he bowed to pressure from the B Administration to censor content the Facebook founder issuing a letter to the house Judiciary Committee that said senior Administration officials pushed the social media platform to censor posts about covid-19 and expressed a lot of frustration when the company resisted Zuckerberg saying I believe the government pressure was wrong and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it adding I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction and we're ready to push back if something like this this happens again President Biden was asked about misinformation online in the summer of 2021 on Co misinformation what's your message to platforms like Facebook they're killing people I mean it really well look the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated and that and they're killing people Biden later walked back the comment insisting he wasn't attacking Facebook overnight the White House responded to Zuckerberg's letter our position has been clear and consistent We Believe tech companies and other private actors should take into account the effects their actions have on the American people while making independent choices about the information they present Zuckerberg going on to express regret for demoting Content related to corruption allegations against Hunter Biden ahead of the 2020 election alleging the FBI warned information circulating online was a Russian disinformation operation it's since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation and in retrospect ECT we shouldn't have demoted the story Zuckerberg went on to say the company has changed its policies and processes to make sure it doesn't happen again house Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan celebrating the letter called I think the funniest thing was that that happened under the Trump Administration the hunter Biden [ __ ] that's number one number two in terms of like covid restrictions Facebook literally was too late to the game in terms of like limiting Co misinformation and even then didn't do a good job with limiting Co misinformation the reason why Zuck is doing this is because I told you this he alongside many other [ __ ] Tech weirdos in Silicon Valley are going hyper rightwing they were already right-wing they're just even more right-wing now they were right-wing uh of the libertarian uh Flavor now they're rightwing of the conservative like regular old conservative flavor and they'll lean in the culture War [ __ ] too great stuff calling it a big win for free speech Zuckerberg's letter first appeared in the Wall Street Journal in wi there really is a tension going on here between the government and big Tech over how content on social media should be policed and whether conservative voices often get silenced absolutely the story getting a lot of attention this morning Aon thank you Facebook literally helped facilitate an ethnic cleansing campaign in Myanmar that's number one Facebook literally is insanely censorious when it comes to Pro Palestinian voices that's number two meta has also hired a former project 20125 staffer and Ronda Sanz chief of staff is is director of policy public policy in the South this coincides with Decline and moderation of anti-lgbtq hate on meta while limiting the reach of lgbtq accounts he has since deactivated his LinkedIn it doesn't end there there though I've been at this game for quite a while many people don't remember but back in the day before I started serving 3-minute outbreaks to the top of the hour I used to be a Facebook content creator for The Young Turks and even back then conservatives with constantly CHP about Facebook censorship but even back then okay when there were no ad breaks to be served at the top of the hour okay and here's a three minute adbreak now even back then when conservatives kept crying yeah in my woke Bay years about Facebook censorship they literally would work with the American Enterprise Institute they had Consultants from right-wing think tanks even back then that were playing an active role in Facebook moderation yeah Columbia SJP literally got banned on Instagram best clip from Facebook thank you Piney tinis take a week off how is the censorship if it's just enforcement of anti-hate policies wait what what no Republicans used to complain about like straight up Nazis being [ __ ] censored on Facebook all all the time at a time when Facebook literally was working alongside Republicans in its moderation and absolutely was not doing that at a time when like Ben Shapiro was like the number one Facebook content creator on the news front how you fall for that his name is Piney tinz they still won't admit what we all know responds to Mark Zuckerberg's letter in which the meta CEO says the platform censored covid content after C to pressure from the Biden Harris Administration senior White House correspondent Peter Ducey joins us live from the White House hey Peter good morning and the reason that we know about this letter that Mark Zuckerberg sent to Jim Jordan is because Jim Jordan posted it so about covid censorship Mark Zuckerberg writes in 2021 senior officials of the Biden Administration including those from the White House repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain covid-19 related content including humor and satire and expressed significant frustration when we did not meet their demands I believe the government pressure was wrong and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it on that point a few minutes ago a White House official told us when confronted with a deadly pandemic this Administration encouraged responsible actions to protect public health and safety our position has been clear and consistent We Believe tech companies and other private actors should take into account the effects their their actions have on the American people while making independent choices about the information they present and that's not all Zuckerberg is also writing about Hunter Biden censorship he says when we saw a New York Post story reporting on corruption allegations includ uh involving then Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden's family we sent that story to fact Checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while we were waiting for a reply it's since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation and in retrospect we should not have demoted the story I asked President Biden about this at the time his team was apparently trying to censor this Hunter content you still think that the stories from the fall about your son Hunter were rushing like you said yes yes yes God love you man you you're a oneor pony one and we've still never heard anybody from the White House come out to admit what we all now know that it was not Russian disinformation despite what President Biden said there at the end of 2020 and what his team told us uh once they took office in 2021 back to you hey hey Mr oneor Pony um just reminding us of those sound bites so so even I think over a year in office you asked Jens saki about the same thing and they stuck to their guns they said absolutely it was Russian disinformation so that was apparently just their line yes and they continued to treat that letter that was signed by a couple dozen former Intel agents who uh were talking about their opinions of Russ Russian disinformation that remained the gospel here and again we we know that this is not Russian disinformation yeah uh but we've never actually heard anybody correct that the way that Mark Zuckerberg did with this letter all right yeah thanks so much Peter here's the yeah here's the other thing uh it affected the debate thanks Dad because he was going to go down and say what are you doing with this uh the the Biden family doing with these Investments and he they stopped it he goes well that laptop 51 Intel agents and knowing that Joe Biden looked at the camera and knew it was his son's laptop that just fundamentally you know that if someone's that comfortable lying to 50 million people what makes you think he stopped when he got the job it affected the election too remember the poll that people were asking you knew about the laptop story which was not being reported on any other network crazy Ved for Biden and a lot of people said this didn't work why are they still chirping about this like nothing this did not work I just like oh my God this was another like Republican born his hysteria in the in the [ __ ] 20 2016 2020 era okay and yes right-wing influencers were dominating the entire time and they still have and that's why Facebook is just like lost territory the idea that Zuckerberg is not doing enough moderation on Facebook is a laughable notion or I mean doing too much moderation is a laughable notion Bros literally believe artificial intelligence over there Facebook is actively breaking the brains of all of your older relatives okay in terms of like the laptop story they didn't even actually [ __ ] uh uh stop or censor the laptop story he's saying they paused it they paused the distribution of the story for like a couple days to make sure that they fact checked it and then they allowed it to be released my mom just showed me AI clip five minutes ago that she believed I know it's really [ __ ] up and having said this Facebook specifically in terms of censorship is so aggro they go crazy mode censoring any and every public display any kind of [ __ ] sentiment about Pro Palestinians Palestinian emancipation they literally ban students for jti uh justice in Palestine the Colombia group yesterday here's an article from one month ago or a couple months ago meta expands hate speech policy to remove post targeting zionists Facebook is literally worse than [ __ ] Twitter dude and has been for a while we just don't talk about it because it's only old people that are on there no you you would think that if anybody you know Trump put the CI the FBI director there the CIA director there he he had his Director of National Intelligence say I don't know what they're talking about this laptop is real and no one listen to Radcliff I just wonder what what are we supposed to say to Zuckerberg like three and a half years later like thank you I mean it just seems to me that every single story or major Scandal people we have to report on when people are are late and we've been talking about this from the very beginning we had reporters on to Source the stuff and we talked about the political pressure and the Intel agencies having some uh corruption in the higher Echelon not the rank and foul people that are just trying to do the job and he comes around three year three and a half years later later saying look we got it all wrong but the election is over now so what are they going to do different in this election are they are they hands off well we the last thing you would say is thank you to him because he said in this letter and you could see it on foxnews.com he said look the administration pressured us but ultim ultimately it was our decision we own that decision so you know the FBI said look out for disinformation and Facebook is the one that screwed this up completely and so why is he doing it now because the house Judiciary Committee is looking into it and they're talking about regulating his company that is the last thing he wants he doesn't want the government breathing down his throat because he wants to be able to make the decisions that led to these ill-fated choices that they made back in it's so funny that these guys are like literally [ __ ] down his throat when he's like actively giving them freebies the hunter Biden laptop story was an idiotic narrative that didn't [ __ ] work because Hunter Biden is a [ __ ] failson Assan can you admit to being aami also F Hamas can't wait for Israel to wipe out those terrorists I'm going to unban this guy who waited 11 minutes to say those wonderful words he's got wonderful ideas in 2020 he wants to be able to continue to make him even though he should not have been able to do why did I keep him because he's a pet you support Hamas I'm a lesser evil voter lesser evil voting Hamas in comparison to the Israeli State numbers on the board is the Lesser evil it's not even a question go ahead argue against facts do that he should have said look U we're not it's a jump ball here we're just going to throw that out well social media platforms they should not be able to compromise their standards because they're being pressured by an Administration whether or not that's Republicans but they're protected by democrats well 520 well um at the time of Co Facebook publicly had stated goal and that was to push millions of people to get the CO both suck both sides suck donkey balls though no that's not true okay like the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising the Jews that did the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising are not equally as responsible for the Holocaust as the dudes who perpetrated the [ __ ] Nazis that's a ridiculous assertion no no that's not true ridiculous 19 vaccine why are they pushing that message why don't they just allow Lawrence to comment on Facebook Steve to comment anyone out there it's a public forum to be able to comment as long as it's not putting anyone in danger why be a Lesar evil voter when you can condemn both sides irresponsible because there are no both sides in genocide there are victims of genocide and they're perpetrators of the genocide do you say that there were both sides that were in the wrong with the Holocaust no of course not why would you [ __ ] say both sides one is a state with nuclear arms and is killing a unimaginable amount of civilians the other is a vient islamist militant group that became increasingly more violent in its tactics as a direct consequence of the violence of the apartheid conducted by said militant militarized state with nuclear arms there's no both sides to this the Holocaust was a genocide not a war wait what what the [ __ ] dude what are you talking about did you do you are you unfamiliar with the Second World War II that is what was happening simultaneously what a ridiculous statement they are both genocides the Holocaust was a genocide and so is what Israel is doing to the Palestinians right now now tell me social media is important after reading that [ __ ] it is see he's agreeable what is this uh okay I wasn't sure trust me I'm very against Israeli government I think what's happening he's disgusting I do think that 107 was a violent Act of War but Israel has turned this into something completely different yeah 107 had a Litany of atrocious a Litany of atrocities that occurred I still maintain that the standard of violence that uh the the victims within the ingroup of the colony receive is still set by The Colony itself that's it exactly how Dana fash will ask this question how do you condemn the anti-semitic hate Monger protesters on college campuses or do you stand with the terrorists yeah she is Dana fash is so fashy she is a Omega Omega Zionist okay that is precisely how she is going to ask this question and KLA Harris is absolutely going to tank that that's not even that's I mean that's a lock rizing the Holocaust of punishable crime in some countries good no one should how would you answer how would I answer this qu idiotic question I would say this is the United [ __ ] States of America that I'm seeking out the presidency of okay and as an American citizen I believe that these bold Brave college campus protesters have every right to peace y demonstrate against what they consider to be an unimaginable amount of violence now of course that's me saying that KLA Harris would never be able to say that come on let's be real but like if I was asked about it i' say it's called Free Speech you should look it up and also what's next like what do what what is the what's the what kind of silly [ __ ] argument is this that like that American students are not allowed to say are not allowed to call into question our allegiances with foreign govern governments as long as they're not breaking any laws I have no problem with it it's called Free Speech Israel will look fondly upon those who were on the right side of uh who were on the right side of the issue and they will remember people like you Dana fash as evil demons um Chatters who have no idea that not all Jews went quietly during the Holocaust and shocker actually had agency the idea that Jews were some perfect victim and all just went quietly down the Holocaust absurd first of all like it's not even an imperfect victim in that situation it is morally just and righteous to [ __ ] resist against uh the Holocaust you know what I mean even if it was illegal technically um BB and many Israelis literally do believe that yeah the problem of course is that the problem of course is that uh there are many like Zionism has like unique uniquely anti-semitic traits in terms of like Jewish uh history of resistance and Jewish culture like an ahistorical approach where like some zionists in Israel specifically consider like Holocaust Survivors to be like weak or or uh Jews who died in the Holocaust to be weak it is a very weird culture cultural phenomena because the myth making of Israel uh revolves around like being strong being a uh you know being a nation that will never allow this to happen again that's why we have to be violent that's why we have to be militant all the time [Music]
