SEVERE THREAT TO SPEECH FREEDOM

Profile

Biden White House Press Secretary who publicly named the "Disinformation Dozen" — the CCDH's list of twelve vaccine-sceptic accounts — from the White House podium, explicitly calling on platforms to remove them. Her statement that "12 individuals are driving 65% of anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms" — a figure derived from a disputed CCDH report — was broadcast globally and directly accelerated the deplatforming of the named individuals. The Missouri v. Biden court proceedings subsequently revealed that Psaki's public pressure campaign was part of a broader coordinated effort by the Biden administration to coerce platforms into removing disfavoured content. A federal judge described the overall effort as "the most massive attack against free speech in United States' history." Psaki later became an MSNBC anchor.
