Established Fact
EIP Director Alex Stamos personally emailed Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook demanding the suppression of posts by Republican official Harmeet Dhillon and others documenting alleged legal violations at Philadelphia-area polling locations (EIP-614). The EIP requested that platforms “at least label” the legal observation claims to diminish their visibility. The content at issue consisted of direct legal observations made by credentialed observers and a licensed attorney – content at the core of the First Amendment’s protection of election-related speech. Suppression reduced public access to contemporaneous accounts of polling place conduct while certification remained pending.
