Pam Bondi FORCES Facebook To CENSOR!
Manage episode 514142916 series 10405
Remember the uproar when it was revealed that the Biden administration had pressured social media companies to remove certain online content, a clear assault on free speech? Well guess what — the Trump Justice Department under Pam Bondi is now doing the same thing!
In this segment Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Facebook removing an ICE-tracking group at the request of the Justice Department as well as earlier instances of the FBI and White House dictating censorship of COVID-19-related content on social media.
Jimmy exposes this behavior as blatant political hypocrisy, with each party criticizing censorship only when out of power but continuing it once in control. The segment concludes by framing the situation as evidence that U.S. administrations, regardless of party, maintain similar approaches to government influence over online platforms and speech regulation.
Plus segments on the Trump administrations increasingly invasive plans to stage a coup in Venezuela and the highly suspicious Google searches that took place in DC and Israel prior to Charlie Kirk’s shooting.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano!
