Big Tech Bullied by Big Government

In a startling revelation that should send chills down the spine of every freedom-loving American, Mark Zuckerberg has blown the whistle on the Biden administration’s strong-arm tactics to control the flow of information during the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking on Joe Rogan’s podcast, the Meta CEO painted a picture of government overreach that would make George Orwell blush.

According to Zuckerberg, Biden’s team didn’t just politely request content removal – they resorted to “screaming” and “cursing” at Meta employees. It’s like watching a toddler throw a tantrum when they don’t get their way, except this toddler has the full force of the federal government behind it.

The Meme That Broke the Camel’s Back

In a move that perfectly encapsulates the administration’s hair-trigger sensitivity, they demanded the removal of a harmless Leonardo DiCaprio meme. The crime? Daring to suggest that COVID vaccine recipients might one day be eligible for compensation. Heaven forbid we allow a little humor during a global pandemic!

“They wanted us to take down this meme of Leonardo DiCaprio looking at a TV talking about how, ten years from now or something, you’re gonna see an ad that says if you took a COVID vaccine, you’re eligible for payment,” Zuckerberg recalled. “We said, ‘No, we’re not gonna take down humor and satire. We’re not gonna take down things that are true.'” – Mark Zuckerberg

Kudos to Zuckerberg for standing his ground on this one. It’s refreshing to see a tech giant remember that free speech isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a fundamental right.

Biden’s Inflammatory Accusations

Not content with behind-the-scenes bullying, President Biden took his censorship crusade public, accusing Meta of “killing people” by allowing vaccine misinformation. That’s right, folks – apparently, allowing free discourse on a social media platform is now equivalent to murder in the eyes of this administration.

“Mark Zuckerberg claimed the Biden administration resorted to “screaming” and “cursing” at Meta employees during disputes over removing COVID-related content during a discussion on the “Joe Rogan Experience” Friday.” – Mark Zuckerberg

This inflammatory rhetoric led to a barrage of investigations from various government agencies. It seems the Biden administration’s idea of “following the science” includes siccing the feds on anyone who dares to question their narrative.

A Conservative Shift in Silicon Valley?

In a plot twist that’s sure to give progressives nightmares, Zuckerberg hinted at a more conservative approach for Meta moving forward. He plans to reduce fact-checking on Facebook and Instagram, potentially allowing for a broader range of voices and opinions. It’s almost as if he remembered that social media platforms aren’t supposed to be the Ministry of Truth.

This shift shouldn’t come as a total shock. After all, Meta did donate $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration fund. Perhaps Zuckerberg is finally waking up to the dangers of unchecked government power and the importance of protecting free speech – even when it’s inconvenient for those in charge.

As we digest these revelations, one thing is clear: the fight for free speech and against government overreach is far from over. It’s up to us, the American people, to remain vigilant and to demand transparency and accountability from both Big Tech and Big Government. After all, if we can’t trust them with a meme, how can we trust them with our democracy?
