The documents, acquired through a source close to the committee, reveal that the White House sought to quash vaccine skeptics. The lawmaker further disclosed that on April 12, 2021, Rob Flaherty, Biden's director of Digital Strategy, emailed Google wanting to know how the company could better crack down on vaccine "misinformation" and to discuss ways the White House can partner in its product work. Flaherty already left the administration to be deputy campaign manager for Biden's re-election bid in the 2024 polls. After a week, an internal email from Google noted that Flaherty "particularly dug in on our decision-making for borderline content," referring to content that doesn't violate their Community Guidelines, but instead brushes up against it. Another week passed, the search engine company acknowledged that they sent the White House a list of videos removed for COVID-19 vaccine "misinformation." "Really [Flaherty's] interested in what we're seeing that is not coming down," reads an email from YouTube. "…there is a very high degree of interest now coming from the White House regarding vaccine misinfo/vaccine hesitancy and our work around borderline content." It continued, saying that unfortunately, the role of tech in addressing vaccine hesitancy is about to come under a massive spotlight particularly as the supply of the vaccine is soon to outpace demand. "Over the last several weeks, the Google & YT GAAP team have had conversations with the White House staff on YouTube's policies and all the great work that is being done to raise authoritative information and fight harmful misinformation related to COVID-19 misinformation," the communication further read. The next day, YouTube's Government Affairs team sent an internal email to the product team to flag the interactions with the White House. "We were hoping to get something on the books in the next two weeks or so to prevent anything from potentially spiraling out of control," read the email. The team then asked if the product team would meet directly with White House staff to show how much censorship they've conducted on their behalf, because "[White House] staff continued to have questions on the raise/reduce efforts" to reduce 'misinformation'. Within the same thread, Jordan vowed that his committee will continue the critical investigative work to further inform legislative solutions to the vast government censorship enterprise. He also said that Sen, Rand Paul and the House Republicans introduced legislation that would provide victims of censorship with the ability to sue the government bureaucrats, who are responsible for causing their constitutionally protected speech to be removed.
