    White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dodged a question during Wednesday's press briefing on whether the Biden administration would try to shut down Twitter if the platform hosts content that it doesn't "like."

    "When you say that you're going to be monitoring some of the speech on [Twitter], if you see something that you don't like, would you try to shut Twitter down?" Doocy asked.

    "So, look, you know, when you - when you talk about monitoring, you know, it is - I hate to break it to you, Peter: Just like everybody else, we very much monitor the news," she responded. "We pay close attention to everything that you all are reporting, and - and Twitter is in the news a lot. And so that's what we're paying attention to. We're paying attention to what is in the news and what is being reported on - on the misinformation that's out there."

    She then highlighted how leftist organizations have "been very vocal about their concerns as well."

    "So, yes, we are reading what you all are writing, and looking at what you all are reporting about the misinformation that is out there," she continued. "But, you know, I would hope that all Americans, including social media companies, civil rights organizations, as I just laid out, including Fox as well, will agree that we need to - you know, we need to - to, you know, call out hate speech and misinformation."

    PETER DOOCY: When you say that you're going to be monitoring some of the speech on there, if you see something that you don't like, would you try to shut Twitter down?

    KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: So, look, you know, when you - when you talk about monitoring, you know, it is - I hate to break it to you, Peter: Just like everybody else, we very much monitor the news. We pay close attention to everything that you all are reporting, and - and Twitter is in the news a lot. And so that's what we're paying attention to. We're paying attention to what is in the news and what is being reported on - on the misinformation that's out there.

    Let's not forget there's groups like NAACP, the Anti-Defamation League, and the public health leaders have been very vocal about their concerns as well.

    So, yes, we are reading what you all are writing, and looking at what you all are reporting about the misinformation that is out there. But, you know, I would hope that all Americans, including social media companies, civil rights organizations, as I just laid out, including Fox as well, will agree that we need to - you know, we need to - to, you know, call out hate speech and misinformation.

Where do you stand on the wanton censorship by Big Tech Platforms, while retaining their Section 230 carveout indemnifying them for Slander /Defamation lawsuits and Copyright infringements?
  Big Tech Platforms have the right to Censor all speech providing they voluntarily relinquish their Section 230 Carveout.
  Big Tech Platforms DO NOT have the right to Censor any speech, while retaining multiple indemnifications by virtue of the Section 230 Carveout.
  I know nothing of this 230 talk, but "I do love me some social media".
