New court evidence shows Zuckerberg got 'PERSONAL' with Fauci just before COVID censorship began



New court documents reveal that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave Dr. Anthony Fauci his personal phone number before the social media giant began censoring information about the COVID-19 pandemic, according to reports.

The documents were released during a lawsuit against the Biden administration regarding censorship of information during the pandemic filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry.

According to a joint statement, Zuckerberg demonstrated the intent to have further conversations about social media censorship when he gave Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and top medical adviser to President Joe Biden, his phone number in March 2020.

Earlier this month, Schmitt revealed that the Biden administration and Big Tech giants arranged weekly and monthly calls to discuss what information to censor on their platforms, all under the guise of stopping “misinformation.”

On “The Rubin Report" Wednesday, BlazeTV host Dave Rubin talked about Zuckerberg's secret connections to Fauci from the beginning of the pandemic and how he even admitted on Joe Rogan's podcast that Facebook suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story after getting a tip from the FBI.

Spotify is quietly removing more of Joe Rogan's podcasts after some employees reportedly threatened to strike



Spotify continued to quietly remove more episodes of Joe Rogan's incredibly popular podcast from their service months after he agreed to a $100 million exclusive deal with the media streaming company.

The deletions were documented by Digital Music News, which reported that 42 podcasts had been deleted from his vast catalogue of nearly 1,500 episodes.

Spotify has provided no rationale for the deletion of the podcasts. DMN noted the guests on the deleted podcasts included Chris D'elia, Owen Benjamin, Joey Diaz, Gavin McInnes, and Eddie Bravo. Among the more notorious deletions were podcasts with Alex Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos.

In September, an unspecified number of Spotify employees reportedly threatened a strike against the company over what they saw as problematic statements made on Rogan's podcast by him and his guests.

"A contingent of activist Spotify staffers are now considering a walkout or full-blown strike if their demands for direct editorial oversight of 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast aren't met," the report said.

Some critics of Rogan have pointed to statements he's made questioning the rationale behind policies pushed by the transgender lobby. He has faced rabid criticism from many calling him "transphobic."

DMN noted that Rogan has dismissed the deletions after admitting that it was part of his $100 million deal.

"There were a few episodes they didn't want on their platform, and I was like 'Okay, I don't care'," Rogan said on his podcast in March. He said that most of the objections centered on Alex Jones, who had appeared on the podcast several times.

However, he said that the company mostly didn't care about what content he published.

"They don't give a f*** man. They haven't given me a hard time at all," he added.

It is not clear whether Rogan is aware of the additional deleted episodes.
