最近从谷歌获得的文件显示,在 2021 年大流行恐慌最严重的时期,拜登政府对 YouTube 处理与新冠病毒相关的错误信息产生了重大影响。内部信件显示,乔·拜登总统的前数字战略主管罗布·弗莱厄蒂 (Rob Flaherty) 曾与 YouTube 接触过。 科技巨头要求加强对传播对 COVID-19 疫苗安全性和有效性怀疑的视频内容的审查。 弗莱厄蒂敦促谷歌团队成员与白宫的新冠病毒专家联手解决疫苗犹豫问题,甚至提出与 YouTube 合作开发产品。 根据美国众议院司法委员会主席、俄亥俄州共和党众议员吉姆·乔丹看到的泄露电子邮件,这些文件概述了谷歌如何向拜登政府提供揭示反疫苗情绪趋势的数据,并披露了一些批评疫苗的视频 功效随后被移除。 最新一批文件是对之前发布的证据的补充,这些证据强调了今年早些时候曝光的美国最大在线平台(例如 Twitter 和 Facebook)内容审核管理中的政治干预。 通过与这些公司合作并积极审查异议声音,尽管来自保守派立法者和公民自由倡导者的批评越来越多,但政府似乎决心在疫苗安全性和有效性、口罩使用和学校关闭等问题上塑造公众舆论。 截至 2023 年 11 月,拜登总统及其任何内阁成员均未对新进展公开发表评论,而谷歌和白宫官员则拒绝发表评论请求。

Internal documents from Google, which owns YouTube, reveal that the Biden White House pressured the company to censor Americans spreading alleged "misinformation" related to COVID-19 and vaccinations, according to House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) - who's holding a live hearing on social media censorship today.

The revelation comes nearly one year after Elon Musk released the "Twitter Files" via several journalists, which showed that the DOJ and White House had effectively captured Twitter, which frequently censored upon request.

Then, the Facebook Files emerged, showing similar top-down, big-brother censorship which led Facebook to change internal policies due to pressure from the Biden administration.

And now, YouTube...

The documents, acquired through a source close to the House Judiciary Committee, reveal that the Biden White House sought to quash vaccine skeptics.

The campaign was led by former White House Director of Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty, who has since left the administration to help run Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign as a Deputy Campaign Manager.

Flaherty emailed Google team members in April 2021 to "connect […] about the work you’re doing to combat vaccine hesitancy, but also crack down on vaccine misinformation," according to the documents.

Flaherty continued, asking for trends surrounding vaccine misinformation on the website, while offering government assistance in the form of COVID experts at the White House to partner in product work with YouTube. -Fox News

One week later, an internal email from Google noted that Flaherty "particularly dug in on our decision making for borderline content," referring to content which doesn't violate their Community Guidelines, but instead brushes up against it. One week later, Google acknowledged that they sent the White House a list of videos removed for COVID vaccine misinformation.

"Really [Flaherty’s] interested in what we’re seeing that is NOT coming down," read an internal email between employees.

"…there is a very high degree of interest now coming from the White House now regarding vaccine misinfo/vaccine hesitancy and our work around borderline content," reads an April 2021 internal email from YouTube.

"Unfortunately, the role of tech in addressing vaccine hesitancy is about to come under a massive spotlight particularly as the supply of the vaccine is soon to outpace demand," the email continues. "Over the last several weeks, the Google & YT GAAP team have had conversations with the White House staff on YouTube’s policies and all the great work that is being done to raise authoritative information and fight harmful misinformation related to COVID-19 misinformation."

The next day, YouTube's Government Affairs team shot an internal email to the company's Product team to flag the interactions with the White House.

"We were hoping to get something on the books in the next two weeks or so to prevent anything from potentially spiraling out of control," reads an email.

The Government Affairs team then asked if the YouTube product team would meet directly with Biden White House staff to show how much censorship they've conducted on their behalf, because "[White House] staff continue[d] to have questions on the raise/reduce efforts" to reduce 'misinformation.'

The email also said that the meeting would be beneficial for their ongoing working relationship with the White House.

"…we believe having the opportunity for you both to share more background would be hugely beneficial as we seek to work closely with this administration on multiple policy fronts."

So, the government had totally captured basically every major platform, through which they imposed active suppression of 'misinformation' - which included Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, and anyone skeptical of vaccines, lockdowns, or masks.
