Oh man, have you heard about the House Weaponization Committee? They just released a report saying that the Biden administration “colluded” with Big Tech and helped them censor Americans! Crazy stuff.
Basically, the report accuses the White House of working with social media companies like Facebook to suppress certain information and viewpoints. They say that the government has been telling these companies what to take down and what to leave up, which is pretty concerning for free speech and democracy.
I remember reading something similar a few months ago about Facebook taking down posts related to COVID-19 that were deemed “misinformation.” I can see why some people might think that’s a good thing, but it’s also scary to think about who gets to decide what’s true and what’s not.
At the end of the day, this is really about how we get our information and who controls it. If the government is working with Big Tech to silence certain voices, it’s really important that we pay attention and push back against that. We should be able to have open and honest conversations about the issues that matter to us.
