John Vecchione is the Senior Litigation Counsel for New Civil Liberties Alliance
He was able to get depositions confirming the CDC and other government agencies were given connections into social media companies and allowed to automatically censor whatever they wanted
“What they were doing was they opened up portals from like the CDC and other government agencies directly into social media and could send what messages they didn't like and those would be downgraded.
And it's pretty clear that they were yelling and intimidating these social media companies and social media companies also want mergers and other things they need from the government, right

We hadn't been able to uncover the whole thing. We gotten, you know, maybe eight or nine depositions, maybe, in this huge sprawling government action.”
