Facebook Regulatory Counsel Joins Biden Transition Team As Zuckerberg Commits To Silencing Trump Victory Claims

JESSICA HERTZ, A FORMER ASSOCIATE GENERAL COUNSEL FOR REGULATORY MATTERS AT FACEBOOK, HAS JOINED THE TRANSITION TEAM OF DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN JOE BIDEN.

The hire speaks to the close relationship between the Biden camp and big tech platforms such as Facebook which frequently weaponizes its service to censor and suppress conservative users and content.

In lockstep with narratives pushed by the Transition Integrity Project, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently declared the social media platform would aim to convince Americans that “there’s nothing illegitimate about this election taking additional days or even weeks” to identify the winner.

She worked in the Obama White House from 2009 to 2014, where, from 2012 to 2014 she served as Principal Deputy Counsel to then-Vice President Biden. She’s also donated over $5,000 to Democratic candidates since the 2016 election cycle, with $2,000 being funneled directly to the Biden campaign.

And Facebook is expected to play a larger role than usual in the 2020 election, with the platform, which nearly three-quarters of Americans use, vowing to suppress “premature claims of victory by candidates.”

Echoing the Soros-funded Transition Integrity Project report, which insisted “the concept of election night, is no longer accurate and indeed is dangerous,..
