Why would the State Department ever meet with FakeBook?
They simply sent a fax of the folks they want banned. :)
They meet to plan how to lie to the American people
Indeed. We Americans have NO idea of the depth of the Orwellian cesspool Fed.gov has created.
Control the agenda
You can bet that the covert back channels between the government and the social media companies are still open.
Don’t think for a second this will stop them.
I see a future Babylon Bee story.
Same headline but administration forced to cancel all meetings because of Supreme Court Affirmative Action decision.
They just realized everyone in their administration was an AA hack.
;-)
How else would they distribute their propaganda?
A “regularly scheduled meeting” in Silicon Valley is at least once a week.
I suspect many in social media companies are glad to have an excuse to get the demands of so many governmental officials off their back. Their “requests” were actually demands and the employees at those sites knew better than not to obey. Meeting the demands of those various agencies were probably taking up a lot of their time.
Facebook executives and employees know by now which posts to shadow-ban and which to delete. They know those whose accounts should be banned should they receive one more “strike” against them. They no longer need anyone telling them which narratives to support. They know.
