Rep. Jim Jordan Exposes Biden Administration’s Pressure on Facebook to Stifle Speech
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has released the third edition of the “Facebook Files,” revealing the Biden administration’s efforts to suppress speech on the platform. The documents obtained by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government show that the White House pressured Facebook to limit The Daily Wire’s reach while boosting legacy media outlets.
In a tweet thread, Jordan highlighted the newly released documents, which confirm that Facebook was working to re-engineer its platform to align with the administration’s directives on suppressing content related to the COVID vaccine agenda.

“Rob Flaherty, President Biden’s then-Director of Digital Strategy, repeatedly put pressure on Facebook to explain its content decisions,” Jordan said.
“We have to explain to President, Ron, people, why there is misinfo on the internet…” Flaherty told Facebook employees during one meeting on April 14.
“For example, Flaherty questioned whether Facebook was doing enough to reduce traffic from sites like the [The New York Post],” Jordan said.
“I’m curious – NY Post churning out articles every day… What is supposed to happen to that from Policy perspective. Does that article get a reduction, labels?” Flaherty asked.
“But that wasn’t enough for the Biden White House. Flaherty wanted Facebook to go a step further,” Jordan added. “He wanted Facebook to kick people off its site.”
But Flaherty continued to press for more content moderation and CONTROL on so-called “bad” content.

“And of course, Facebook caved. The company ADMITTED to the White House that it reduced content of certain posts – even if the posts didn’t violate the company’s terms and contained TRUE information,” Jordan said. “Just read this from a Facebook employee.”

“These newly subpoenaed meeting notes continue to show the Biden White House’s desire to direct and control content on Facebook. More evidence of the censorship-industrial complex. To be continued…” Jordan concluded.
