Deposition of Elvis Chan, FBI Supervisory Special Agent

Elvis Chan - FBI Supervisory Special Agent Lawsuit: State of Missouri ex rel. Schmitt, et al. v. Biden, et al. NCLA has released six video depositions taken in its federal lawsuit, State of Missouri, et al. v. Joseph R. Biden, Jr., et al., which provide more clarity on the role that government actors played in censoring people on social media during the pandemic. This case paints a comprehensive picture of an administration and federal officials engaging in a lawless, expansive censorship campaign that employed illicit tactics—from pressure and coercion to collusion and coordination—on social media companies to suppress the airing of disfavored perspectives on Covid-19 and other topics. As revealed in Elvis Chan’s deposition, the FBI played a major role in working with Big Tech companies to censor speech. Actions ranged from weekly meetings with social media companies to demanding takedowns of specific accounts and facilitating suppression of certain stories. Chan observed that the platforms became far more aggressive in removing misinformation during the 2020 election cycle than in previous election cycles, and they have remained so.
