Will Big Tech Help Derail Team Biden’s Next Assault on Free Speech?

Two tech titans put the issue of government censorship up in lights this week.

 

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg expressed remorse that he allowed the Biden administration to pressure him to suppress criticism of its policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. And X-owner Elon Musk correctly observed that amounted to a First Amendment violation.

 

Unfortunately, in June, Team Biden critically assisted in the drafting and adoption of an international obligation mandating suppression of free speech in conflict with World Health Organization policies and prescriptions.

 

That requirement is imposed by a new treaty amending the WHO’s International Health Regulations in the event of criticism of the dictates of its Marxist Director General.

 

Paging Messrs. Musk and Zuckerberg: We need the Senate to consider and reject this accord that breaches not only the First Amendment, but much of the rest of our Constitution, as well.
