According to recent court documents from Missouri V Biden, the Biden administration was in ongoing contact with social media companies in an effort to censor media that the regime did not like.
As part of that broad effort to silence dissenting voices, Tucker Carlson and conservative influencer Tomi Lahren came under the Orwellian crosshairs of the Biden White House.
The White House reportedly contacted Facebook to have a Tucker Carlson video ‘shadow banned’ because he was questioning the Covid-19 experimental injections.
Daily Caller broke the story and summed it up in this tweet:

Veteran journalist Glenn Greenwald highlighted the recent court ruling in favor of freedom of speech that revealed the disturbing examples of censorship, and writes:
“A federal district judge preliminary banned Biden Administration officials from continuing to speak and meet with Big Tech officials to pressure them to censor viewpoints the US Govt dislikes. The 1st Am bars such censorship pressures.”

Daily Caller had the details on the case:
On April 14, 2021, Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty emailed Facebook demanding censorship of Carlson and then-Fox News host Tomi Lahren, according to Doughty.
He claimed the top post about vaccines that day was “Tucker Carlson saying vaccines don’t work and Tomi Lahren stating she won’t take a vaccine.”
Facebook promised Flaherty a report by the end of the week.
The same day, then-White House advisor Andy Slavitt emailed Facebook executive Nick Clegg about Tucker Carlson’s “anti-vax message” and complained about Facebook’s lack of action, Doughty reported.
Juanita Broaddrick explained: “Judge resented Tucker saying vaccines don’t work…. but was also receiving emails from White House to ban video.”

Tomi Lahren, who was also a target of White House censorship efforts also spoke out:
The White House Digital Director wanted me and Tucker Carlson to be “reduced” on Facebook for our vax comments. ⬇️ https://t.co/mbqQ8DRBRY

Famed investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger had this to report on Facebook censorship:
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook/Meta’s new competitor to Twitter, “Threads,” promised users a better experience than Twitter.
“I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it,” said Zuckerberg. “Twitter has had the opportunity to do this but hasn’t nailed it. Hopefully we will.”
But within a few hours of launching, Threads was already secretly censoring users and not offering them the right to appeal.
