THE AMAZON FILES: Biden Regime Banned Books To Censor Speech and Freedom of Thought
Tell us again about ‘angry tweets” and ‘threats to democracy.’
Jim Jordan debuts ‘Amazon Files’ showcasing federal censorship efforts against books
“Amazon caved to the pressure from the Biden White House to censor speech,” Jordan concluded.
By Ben Whedon, February 5, 2024:
The House Judiciary Committee and the Weaponization subpanel on Monday revealed internal documents secured via the subpoena of Amazon, highlighting the Biden administration’s efforts to address “propaganda” and “misinformation” in books the online retailer sold.
Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan outlined the effort in an X thread reminiscent of the “Twitter Files” reports that addressed federal involvement with that platform.
Kicking off the episode, Jordan asserted, was a 2021 email from a White House official seeking an opportunity to discuss “the high levels of propaganda and misinformation and disinformation of [sic] Amazon?”
“Why was the Biden White House so upset with Amazon? Because Amazon believed ‘retailers are different than social media communities’ & provided their ‘customers with access to a variety of viewpoints.’ For the Biden Admin, letting Americans think for themselves was unacceptable,” Jordan posted……

Andy Slavitt—the senior Biden White House official who demanded that Facebook censor a meme and true information—was pressuring Amazon at the same time.https://t.co/vOgRkBNFmW

On March 2, 2021, Slavitt fired off an email demanding to know who he and his White House colleagues could talk to at the company about “the high levels of propaganda and misinformation and disinformation of [sic] Amazon?” pic.twitter.com/aWSMp3aSOc

How did the Biden White House conclude that there was “propaganda and misinformation” in books sold in Amazon’s bookstore?
The White House ran keyword searches for controversial topics, such as “vaccine,” and emailed Amazon when it didn’t like how the search results appeared: pic.twitter.com/FmVYPJQR6n

Initially, Amazon decided to hold off on “doing a manual intervention” to censor books.
Why? Not out of any commitment to free speech, but because doing so would be “too visible” to the American public and likely to spur criticism from conservative media. pic.twitter.com/166wXiPsha

Why was the Biden White House so upset with Amazon?
Because Amazon believed “retailers are different than social media communities” & provided their “customers with access to a variety of viewpoints.”

A week later, on March 9, 2021, Amazon met with the White House.
Internal Amazon documents reveal Amazon’s “top talking points” going into the meeting.
One of the key questions was whether the Biden White House wanted books banned or just buried deep in the search results: pic.twitter.com/wnWj9eCyJf

So how did Amazon’s meeting with the Biden White House go?

On March 2, 2021, Amazon determined internally that it would “not be doing a manual intervention today.”
The online bookstore set a meeting with senior Biden White House officials for March 9, 2021.

What was the purpose of this meeting with the Biden White House?
To see if “the Admin is asking us to remove books, or are they more concerned about search results/order (or both)?” pic.twitter.com/I8qd3WCeY4

Why did Amazon agree to take this meeting? Because they were “feeling pressure from the White House” pic.twitter.com/n7Xe0D5lhH

After the White House spent a week berating Amazon, what did the online bookstore do?
Starting March 9—the same day as its meeting with the White House—Amazon enabled “Do Not Promote” for books that expressed the view that vaccines were not effective. pic.twitter.com/8YEXjAL8BD

And that wasn’t all. Amazon also considered other ways “to reduce the visibility” of certain books that the Biden White House disliked. pic.twitter.com/q9JC1LYb5m
