The Biden administration is facing repeated accusations about its role in censoring speech, often in collaboration with social media companies or via efforts to combat disinformation.

In response to a lawsuit and Freedom of Information Act requests, the Department of Justice has identified at least 45 federal officials at numerous executive branch agencies who communicated with social media companies about misinformation, and now, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Dr. Anthony Fauci have been ordered to turn over communications with them.
