Mark Levin: Facebook and other Social Media are NOT Independent Actors

Thursday, on his nationally syndicated radio program, using clips from White House Press Secretary Jenn Psaki and U. S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Mark Levin showed how the Biden Administration is influencing Facebook and other social media outlets, and taking an active part in their censorship of opposing views. Listen:

They just made the Trump lawsuit against these social media platforms to me a slam dunk. I can’t predict what out of control rogue judges and justices will do, but she just stated, and I hope the Trump lawyers are listening to me and they get a transcript of this:

That they (the Biden Administration) are working with Facebook and other social media platforms and telling them what they want them to do. They can call it disinformation, they can call it whatever they want, that’s quite beside the point. Jenn Psaki just made the case for the Trump lawsuit: That these are not independent private platforms, these are not independent businesses, these are not independent actors.

The Biden Administration, at multiple levels, senior staff among others, are working with Facebook and other social media platforms to identify misinformation, and thereby to sanction the misinformation, to censor the social media posts, and to spread information. It can no longer be said that it is an independent business conducting its own business without any taint of government activity. It is doing the work of the government, it is doing the work specifically of the Biden Administration, and the Democrat party. So the First Amendment in fact does apply, and there are Supreme Court cases that have said it applies in cases that are weaker than this one. Jenn Psaki is the best witness for the Trump lawsuit.

I hope they’re listening to me. Write down what she said, transcribe what she said. Amend your lawsuit and include it, because again, she just openly stated to the entire world, let’s repeat it again:

Levin quotes White House Press Secretary, Jenn Psaki: “We are in regular touch with these social media platforms, uh and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff, but also members of our Covid-19 team.”
