A Lie': Taylor Lorenz and Biden Advisor Neera Tanden Brawl Over Social Media Censorship
"The Democrats have been just so aggressively pro-censorship. I just have to say one more thing, which is I think I've told this story many times now but I was at this White House content creator summit last August that Joe Biden held right before leaving office. I don't even know if he knew what room he was in, but Neera Tanden, who was one of his senior advisors, got up on stage in front of all these content creators"
"and was like, don't you hate these internet trolls? We're going to remove anonymity from the web, you know, raise your hand if you want to remove anonymity from the web, remove anonymity from the internet. And all these stupid content creators are like, yeah, me, I want to, I wanna do that. And I'm just like, oh, you guys, do you have two brain cells to rub together?"
Public controversy erupted over Democrats' support for stricter social media rules and proposals affecting Section 230 protections. A claim described a White House content creator summit where Neera Tanden urged removing online anonymity and content creators cheered such measures. The administration denied that the event occurred as described, producing a clash between media figures and a former Biden administration official. The debate highlighted tensions over balancing content moderation, free speech, and proposals viewed by critics as aggressive pro-censorship measures. The controversy played out on public platforms and social media, attracting widespread commentary and prompting direct responses from involved parties.
