massie: it's my time, i've given it to the witness do, not censor him. ms. plaskett: i am not censoring him. mr. kennedy: if the views you and others applied to me were actually true i could see why i shouldn't be able to testify here today. those are not true. these are defamations and malignancies used to censor me, to prevent people from listening to the actual things that i'm saying and i think ranking member, that we should have a real conversation rather than an exchange of attacks. in answer very quickly to your question, the term mal-information was coined to describe information that facebook and twitter and the other social media sites understood was true but that the white house and other federal agencies wanted censored anyway for political reasons. because it challenged official orthodoxies. i'll give you one example. there was a -- i was included in a group called the disinformation dozen. and facebook and others were asked to censor us, which they did. and by the way, my hank aaron post was taken down. my whole instagram account with 900,000 p

massie: and thanks to the twitter files we found out the former f.d.a. director who is on the board of pfizer, dr. gottlieb, wrote to twitter executive, who by the way was kind of one of the go-to people for the white house also to coordinate with when they wanted ising suppressed, requested twitter take action against the post about natural immunity. you know what's amazing to me, is scott gottlieb, who works for pfizer, who is a former f.d.a. director, went to twitter the day i got censored on natural immunity. my post. a congressional post. now, the other side said, well, your tweet's still up, your post's still up, what do you mean you're getting censored? they labeled it and denied anybody's ability to comment on it and they deboosted it. so i simply said, natural immunity's better than vaccine immunity. we had studies showing that. they took it -- they censored it. so the next day i tried it again with a reference to bloomberg. hardly a right-wing outlet. or conspiracy generator. and they censored that one as well. this is astounding to me. mr. ken
