Why was the Biden administration pressuring Amazon to censor books that conflicted with its political narrative?

From The Washington Times. Senior Biden administration aides summonedĀ AmazonĀ officials to theĀ White House during the height of the pandemic to discuss ā€œpropaganda and misinformation.ā€ ā€¦

Have you taken your place on the wall?

 

White HouseĀ officials ā€œspent a week beratingĀ Amazonā€ in March 2021 over books related to ā€œvaccine misinformationā€ and asked what steps company officials could take ā€œto reduce the visibility of these titles,ā€ according toĀ AmazonĀ emails released Monday by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican.

TheĀ AmazonĀ pressure campaign overseen byĀ Andy Slavitt, who was Mr. Bidenā€™s senior adviser on the administrationā€™s COVID-19 task force, appears to have been successful.

On March 9, the same dayĀ AmazonĀ officials agreed to meet with Biden administration aides at theĀ White HouseĀ about its COVID-19 books,Ā AmazonĀ enabled a ā€œdo not promoteā€ policy for ā€œanti-vax books whose primary purpose is to persuade readers vaccines are unsafe or ineffective.ā€

It also weighed policies to ā€œreduce the visibilityā€ of other COVID-related books that theĀ White House opposed. ā€¦

Amazon officials responded quickly when top Biden advisers contacted them about problematic books for sale on the site. ā€¦

In an email dated March 12, 2021, anĀ AmazonĀ official said the company was ā€œfeeling pressure from theĀ White HouseĀ Taskforceā€ on reducing the visibility of books that questioned the vaccine.

Ahead of the March 9Ā White HouseĀ meeting,Ā Amazonā€™s talking points included finding out whetherĀ White HouseĀ officials were ā€œasking us to remove books, or are they more concerned about search results/order (or both)?!ā€

Mr. Jordan said the Judiciary panel and the Judiciary subcommittee investigating the weaponization of government will investigate the matter.

ā€œAmazonĀ caved to the pressure from the BidenĀ White House to censor speech,ā€ Mr. Jordan said. ā€¦

Mr.Ā SlavittĀ announced his departure from theĀ White HouseĀ in June 2021.

Biden is sounding more and more like China every day. He wants the public to not question what they are doing to us–like eliminating us however they can. We have a terribly dangerous government in office and people need to change it. Don’t just sit there, do something to make this our true America to be great and fair again.

Dear Father God, Thank you for intervening in our corrupt government and their pawns the news media, the DOJ, FBI, all alphabet agencies. Expose all of the lies coming from the Biden administration, including their left-leaning ideals against your people Israel. Please replace all leaders who do not share your values and laws with leaders who have your heart and love for the American people. Expose the corrupt leaders who are liars, thieves and murderers. May they bow down to you Lord and do your will only. Forgive them Lord, they know not what they do. In Yeshua’s name, Amen.
