Did the Biden White House Pressure Companies to Censor?

Marc Andreessen says the Biden White House directly exerted censorship pressure on American companies to censor American citizens. He calls the pressure flatly illegal and believes the people involved have criminal liability. Members of Congress applied the same pressure, which he also calls illegal.

The pattern was consistent across the companies. Nothing in the Twitter files happened only at Twitter, and YouTube files would look exactly the same. The companies and the people in them bear a lot of responsibility for bad judgment calls. Outside third party groups were funded to bring pressure down on censorship. A unit at Stanford, right next door, was an internet censorship unit funded by the U.S. government. It exerted tremendous pressure on the companies to censor and was very effective. Harvard had another unit like it. Universities, NGOs, and nonprofits got pulled in. The Twitter files showed the basic roadmap, and the Weaponization Committee that Congressman Jordan is running has also revealed a lot.

He imagines the new Trump administration is going to come in and carve the censorship wide open.
