- DAMNING DOCUMENTS UNCOVERED: CDC Directly Colluded with Twitter, Facebook to Censor Free Speech

A fourth batch of documents released by America First Legal (AFL) show that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conspired with social media corporations like Facebook and Twitter to silence free speech under the guise of fighting “misinformation.”
–
At Twitter, the CDC colluded to run a “Partner Support Portal” for government employees and other “stakeholders,” allowing them to flag and submit “misinformation” posts for removal from the platform. At least one government employee logged into this portal via a personal Twitter account, the documents show.
–
At Facebook, a similar approach was taken for election-related censorship. The CDC helped the Mark Zuckerberg empire to “socially inoculate,” or brainwash, the public against anything that threatened the official government version of events about the election, covid, and other matters.
–
“They used Big Tech to monitor and manipulate users to censor unapproved information and push government propaganda,” reports explain.
–
“For example, Facebook sent written materials to the CDC bragging about censoring more than sixteen million ‘pieces of content.’ The content contained opinions or information the U.S. government wanted suppressed.”
–
The CDC also “collaborated” with UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO), and IFCN member and “leading civil society” organization Mafindo to combat “disinformation” on the internet.
–
Mafindo, in case you are unfamiliar with that name, is a third-party “fact checking” operation partner of Facebook. It is based out of Indonesia and is directly funded by Google. (Related: The CDC’s smartphone app was recently discovered to contain hidden Russian software.)
