If the Biden Administration works with a private company to censor information the administration wants censored…is that fascism? Is the private company really private anymore if the Government is guiding the private companies policies?

I would think that would strongly depend on the nature and enforcement of the communications. Did Facebook initiate this conversation, or did the CDC? Is this censorship, or Facebook initiating restrictions or marking pages as unreliable?

Without more information, this could just as easily be Facebook consulting with the CDC to prevent the spread of misinformation. In particular, the reference to VAERS indicates that it's about controlling the spread of covid-19 vaccine misinformation. You don't think Facebook has any interest in that for itself?

Please read the whole thread, its really interesting about the behind the scenes communication between social media and the administration.

It starts here:

One of the major parts of the CDC mission is to promote accurate information on infectious diseases. I don't see how it doing so is particularly interesting. Facebook/Twitter probably don't have many infectious disease specialists on their payroll, so who should they consult about misinformation?

It reads much like any anti-vaxxer screed on (non-)censorship and (non-)victories in court that I've ever seen. Why do you think this is relevant?

Do you support foreign propaganda outlets being able to seize the narrative on Facebook/Twitter/etc.? Would you feel better if the Administration engaged in full-on propaganda blitzes of this sort on social media? I just don't see why you think this is an issue (I don't think Schmitt's concern is anything other than political).

Can you point to even one sentence in revealed documentation you see as actual censorship?

Given the CDC's rather abysmal record on vaccine information and it's recent admission of how poor a job they did how do you feel about what was or wasn't censored in terms of what was or wasn't "misinformation" and who should or shouldn't be the judge of such ??

1) Nothing was censored, because censorship is something done by governments, which Facebook/Twitter are not (yet).
2) I recall an admission about the poor handling of the response to covid-19 initially (and monkey pox, as well), but I don't recall any such admissions on vaccine information. Do you have a link?
3) Perhaps the CDC record is "abysmal", but it's information is still multiple magnitudes of higher quality than the antivaxxer posts Facebook and Twitter are trying to fight.
4) Who's a better choice for a judge? To whom should Facebook and Twitter have gone? If you don't have a better source, what's your alternative for Facebook/Twitter?
