"The transcript:
" Q And then on vaccine misinformation, Ron Klain, the Chief of Staff, said recently that it would be a policy decision whether or not the administration went after regulating companies, like Facebook, on things like vaccine misinformation. So what is the administration’s stance on that?
MS. PSAKI: Well, we — we believe that all of us — social media companies, platforms where a lot of this misinformation travels — the media, state and local officials — it’s important for everybody to step up and spread the word about the vaccines.
There’s a report that will be coming out that, again, our Surgeon General Vivek Murthy will be coming to the briefing room tomorrow to talk about. And certainly, the pushback against disinformation — information that is, you know, literally a matter of life and death — is something that is going to be a continued focus of this administration.
You are right that, obviously, decisions to regulate or hold to account any platform would certainly be a policy decision. But in the interim, we’re going to continue to call out disinformation and call out where that information travels.
Q Does the President have plans to speak with Mark Zuckerberg at all about this?
MS. PSAKI: There’s no plans that I’m aware of.
Go ahead.

trying to eliminate misinformation regarding the COVID vaccines...which you fully support. Americans are needlessly getting infected, hospitalized and dying as a result...therefore the need to work with all means of communication - including social media platforms - to ensure that such harmful and misleading material is eliminated...why do you not see this?
.....that's a slippery slope.
I believe in full disclosure and full discussion as well as the right of people to disagree without the fear of repercussion.
Psaki admitted that this administration is regularly coordinating with their political ally Facebook by providing them with posts that go against their narrative so that they can be cancelled.
Imagine a person just exactly like you who is assigned to scour the the posts on a website just like this one, and then be able to tell the Board Ops which posts you disagree with and want removed.
Now reverse it, and imagine a hard right poster being given that power over you.
The sad thing is, that if you read the posts here, many believe that everything that they don't agree with is "disinformation".
The Biden Admins solution to the open information age is to censor it. i disagree. in fact such censorship will only build further distrust.
We already know of one gigantic story that they suppressed with this censorship about the origins of the coronavirus from the Chinese bioweapon Lab in Wuhan. Despite the Biden Admin via Fauci claiming that the story was false and thus worthy of censorship from Facebook, it proved to be true.
We are in full agreement wrt transparency, open communication and censorship (more on that later)...as to your contentions, here are my takes...
>re: Biden WH working with FB...
You contend that the WH and FB are "political allies"...how then do you explain the Biden administration's efforts to go after FB and other 'Big Tech' corporations with Anti-Trust legislation?...(some pals they turned out to be)...so that statement of yours needs a bit more 'spinning' to pass the sniff test...you need to answer this riddle since you brought it up.
Misinformation on vaccines is undeniably present on social media, and it's causing severe damage to our population...since only the SM platforms can effect remedies to this misinformation, the only recourse the government has is to use its medical expertise (e.g. CDC, NIH...) to identify and explain to the SM platforms where the problems are and what the proper public health messages should be...that is what "flagging" is all about. FaceBook is not qualified to make such decisions on what is medically right and what is wrong...that's why we have government entities...again, the CDC, NIH, etc...need to provide that assistance. Government working with private firms is and has always been...SOP. If you find that the outcomes of these efforts have been injurious to the public good, then by all means voice your disapproval...until then, just take a break from crafting another conspiracy theory.
Nowhere in the Press Briefing texts or videos is there even the hint of censorship...just collaboration between government and private enterprise to fight misinformation that is harming our nation as we speak.
FB represents a hugely powerful new ally that helped Dems against Trump. They had always wanted to reign in Big Tech in the past, but Big Social media is a different animal and alliances change.
2. the SCOTUS is quite clear about this activity that the Biden WH is engaged in - it violates the first Amendment including when they direct the censorship though a private business proxy. And it's really obviously a horribly bad idea just waiting to bite you guys in the ass when the pendulum swings back the other way.
Rationalizing how much good you think it does doesn't change the illegality of the action. Arguing that "Top organizations" are overseeing it doesn't change that fact either (and we have all seen how these organizations have been politicized). Also, those "top organization people" at the CDC just screwed up by censoring true stories about the coronavirus origins in the Wuhan lab in China. They have proven they offer no assurances when it comes to censorship oversight.
The government should no tbe involved in censorship of it's own private citizens. Period.
certainly weren't in the 'Libs' pocket during the 2016 election cycle, were they?...I don't recall Trump complaining about them then...You are going to end up looking like a pretzel if you continue down this path...collaborators don't bring anti-trust suits against their 'allies'...bad for business...surely you can see all of this.
2) All you have is a suspicious mind...there is zero evidence of a conspiracy between the Biden administration and FB to allow government censorship. There is, however, clear evidence of misinformation regarding COVID-19 vaccines on social media...misinformation that must be removed for the safety our our fellow citizens...FaceBook, et al, don't have the necessary expertise to know what is misleading and what is not...we elect and pay our government entities to provide such a service...therefore, it is wholly appropriate for the Biden administration to work with firms like FB as they devise methods of identifying and removing such harmful material.
You are right though to be cautious in how much influence the government applies/exerts...but having 'none' is not the answer...before freaking out about this, let's see what transpires and then see if any complaints are warranted...is that fair?
Again...let's not lose sight of the fact that harmful (deadly) misinformation is being transmitted on social media...they are incapable of making the appropriate 'calls' on what is right or wrong and it's government's responsibility to protect us all...not just close their eyes...let's see how they perform.
…..you simply cannot deputize a private company to become the “Reality Czar”.
keep that from happening...but to assert that the Biden administration's goal is to establish "Orwellian Control" over social media, rather than to perform their sworn duty to protect the health and well-being of U.S. citizens, is patently absurd...especially without any evidence...just your own suspicions.
One more time..."Misinformation" regarding COVID-19 vaccines is being posted on social media (FB) and needs to be removed...only SM platforms can do this...those platforms don't know what is "misleading" when it comes to COVID...therefore, our government needs to provide that guidance...end of story.

Is going to destroy all our ancestors and we have created.You do not yet realize the inherent danger that exists and the misguided notions of equity and diversity,that are being used to usher in more tyranny under the guise of progress.If you and Baron believe in the so called vaccines,fine.I have a different belief system and question what is going on with the scamdemic.Do you recall the clamor when anyone questioned the origins?The dictatorship tendencies some governors displayed?The playing of the race card?Peter Dalszak and his complicity with keeping the Coronahoax going?You know better and have chosen not to believe
and concerns. There's a lot to address in your reply and it takes a lot to clarify, so my response surely won't be immediately (or ever) satisfactory to you...but let's start...
>Equity and Diversity...hopefully your next reply will clarify what your concerns are, but I'll jump out ahead and give what I think is a relevant opinion...based on your frequent use of the word "communism" in previous posts, I'm guessing that you think any talk of 'equal rights' and 'respect for all' is just a prelude to a slippery slope to that end...my view is that our ancestors (i.e. Founding Fathers) were spot on when they declared that "All Men Are Created Equal" and our democratically created Constitutional Amendments which expanded on that notion further enforce the concept of "Equality" amidst "Diversity".
Consequently, I suggest that you consider folks who speak in such terms as being true Americans.
>Scamdemic...you are clearly on the outer fringe on the COVID-19 issue...out of 7+ billion people on this planet, I'd guess you are a member of a group numbering a few thousand who absolutely believe that the proven vaccines are harmful...that's problematic for the rest of us for sure, but not totally unexpected and will eventually be sufficiently resolved...just like with prior vaccines.
I don't want to go too far here without hearing back from you...so the ball's in your court.
The agenda.
you.
That is the difference that Tyrone was asking about.
And I support the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine use, not the J&J by the way.
I posted the July 14th transcript below.
So noooooo, this White House is not doctoring transcripts. This Administration is transparent. And they hold daily press briefings.
And yes, when it comes to public health, this White House does its best to confront disinformation, …. as opposed to the Trump Administration who deliberately trafficked in disinformation.

It also was off by just one day, and she talked about the same topic, mentioning the same names which hid the error.
Very glad the WH hasn’t gone to the level of scrubbing post fact (because they already started doing so “prefact”, it’s easy to see why there was concern - see below).
Btw, I asked, I didn’t proclaim. I caught something that was wrong and asked for help because it surprised me. You shouldn’t start attacking me when it was your own mistake by calling me a drama Queen because I noticed.
I’m linking the prefact scrubbing that the WH does to show that the concern was warranted (WH demands all quotes from Biden be preapproved before publication).

Context always matters. And often, posters link new stories that cherry pick a quote and then run a misleading news story. [I confess that I have done so a handful of times]
Your original post implied the White House was engaged in "Orwellian" conduct — an adjective describing a situation, idea, or societal condition that George Orwell identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free and open society. It denotes an attitude and a brutal policy of draconian control by propaganda, surveillance, disinformation, denial of truth (doublethink), and manipulation of the past, including the "unperson"—a person whose past existence is expunged from the public record and memory, practiced by modern repressive governments.
But, when reading the full transcript, to include the Surgeon General’s comments, it is clear that the White House is simply trying to confront all the disinformation out there about vaccinations.
I understand that FaceBook is the news source for approx 50% of the nation. Although this giant of a company claims they endeavor to police disinformation, their efforts are half assed. FaceBook has blood on their hands. People have died as a result of their malfeasance.
You know what would help?? Former President Trump (Operation Warp Speed) encouraging his countrymen to get vaccinated.
...and remember that context IS important, but it also extends to other ongoing contemporaneous behaviors (pre approval of all Biden quotes from the media (who accepts this!). Fauci working hand in hand with Facebook to censor all stories on the Wuhan China Biological Wepon Lab leak for over a year...which was actually confirmed to be true). You are not looking at the full context yourself. All that matters from this presser really is the admission of the illegal act. All of the surrounding rationalizations don't matter. The Biden WH is censoring free speech via its' ally Facebook which vilates the Constitution.

you fucked up, and are trying to CYA. Phony
You really can’t be this stupid.
I hope that someone can explain this legitimately, because otherwise it appears like the official transcript given for MSM viewer consumption was scrubbed by the Biden WH.

Happy this is the case. Especially since the WH already demands preapproval for all printed Biden quotes, and because Psaki admitted breaking the law by flagging content they disagree with to Facebook for deletion…..and especially since they’ve done it before (Fauci working to bury content showing China’s Wuhan Lab was the source of the coronavirus.
Can you grant me total consciousness on my death bed?
