So news breaks that Biden wants to censor text messages that have medical misinformation. People are outraged they would censor messages. Did we forget to be mad they read our text messages? Snowden was a limited hangout, change my mind.

@beefcake So naturally concerned by this I tried looking it up. So far all I can find is a random rant by Tucker Carlson without any source information, and a few news agencies reporting on this... Can you link me to a source that verifies this (something Biden said or some other evidence)... So far it looks like just some random republican fear mongering about something that never happened, but I am willing to review any real evidence on this.

@freemo https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/12/biden-covid-vaccination-campaign-499278 you have to scroll half way down the page, they buried the lede

@beefcake Would you mind copying and pasting the part your referring to. I dont see any quotes or sources that mention text messaging, just vague statements about "doing something"

@freemo “Biden allied groups, including the Democratic National Committee, are also planning to engage fact-checkers more aggressively and work with SMS carriers to dispel misinformation about vaccines that is sent over social media and text messages.”

@beefcake That is the assertion, not the evidence of the assertion. I am looking for the reason why that assertion/claim is being made (the evidence) not the accusation itself.
