‘Handmaidens of the State’: Dinesh D’Souza breaks down how the Biden admin is using big tech to censor Americans

What Jen Psaki said earlier today involves senior staff in the Biden administration. It began with a request for Psaki to further elaborate on what she meant when they said the White House was being more aggressive against “misinformation.”

"In terms of actions... that we have taken or are working to take from the federal government. We've increased disinformation research and tracking within the Surgeon General's office. We're flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation. We're working with doctors and medical professionals to connect two connected medical experts who are popular with their audiences with accurate information and boost trusted content.”

Political Commentator Dinesh D’Souza broke down the implications of what Psaki was saying here out in the open.

D’Souza describes it as the Biden administration openly admitting to the “monitoring, tracking, and flagging what it calls ‘misinformation,’ passing that along to Facebook, so Facebook can restrict, deplatform, censor, and ban users, who are putting out information that contradicts the position of the Biden administration.”

As a contrast it was in early May of this year that Facebook’s oversight board upheld a ban against former President Trump. The intent of that panel was in part to assuage concerns of political bias on the part of social media companies and their oversight.

That very thing is a prominent concern going into the November 2020 election. Tensions heightened after Facebook and Twitter unilaterally decided to censor a NY Post story about the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Something that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey later admitted was a mistake.

In the last few days the Biden administration openly touted policing the content of SMS text messages for misinformation as well.

Dinesh D’Souza in his reaction noted the brazenly casual nature in which the White House Press Secretary admitted to all of this. That it was par for the course and the American people shouldn’t second guess it.

“The government… the US government, is working in concert, with these massive private sector platforms, to impose regimes of censorship on the American people.”

Dinesh gets into the specifics about how the First Amendment distinguishes “Congress shall make no law,” separating itself from the private sector. But, he says, that the definition of Congress in this case applies to the executive branch of the White House as well. It’s not something strictly limited to the US Senate or House of Representatives.

“But the Supreme Court has consistently held, and not just in the first amendment context… that the government can not get around the Constitution by having private sector entities do things that are constitutionally forbidden for the government to do. So what that means in this case is if the government wants to censor speech (but it can’t do it because there’s a first amendment no problem), so what the government does is it tells Facebook, and Facebook does it, Facebook carries out taking instructions from the CDC, from the Biden administration, they do the will of the government.”

D’Souza reiterates the fact that the US Government cannot use the private sector as an extension of its own will to violate the rights of the American people.

D’Souza has kept tabs on current events recently, covering Ashli Babbitt, the Supreme Court’s ruling on voter integrity, the encroachment of diversity dogma on the US military, and Trump’s recently announced lawsuit against Big Tech companies.
