Libs no longer believe in free speech. Here is the proof the want to silence anyone who dares to disagree with them.
New York Assemblyman Unveils Bill To Suppress Non-Government-Approved Free Speech | Zero Hedge

In a bill aimed at securing a "right to be forgotten," introduced by Assemblyman David I. Weprin and (as Senate Bill 4561 by state Sen. Tony Avella), liberal New York politicians would require people to remove ‘inaccurate,’ ‘irrelevant,’ ‘inadequate’ or ‘excessive’ statements about others...

Within 30 days of a ”request from an individual,”
“all search engines and online speakers] shall remove … content about such individual, and links or indexes to any of the same, that is ‘inaccurate’, ‘irrelevant’, ‘inadequate’ or ‘excessive,’ ”
“and without replacing such removed … content with any disclaimer [or] takedown notice.”
“ ‘naccurate’, ‘irrelevant’, ‘inadequate’, or ‘excessive’ shall mean content,”
“which after a significant lapse in time from its first publication,”
“is no longer material to current public debate or discourse,”
“especially when considered in light of the financial, reputational and/or demonstrable other harm that the information … is causing to the requester’s professional, financial, reputational or other interest,”
“with the exception of content related to convicted felonies, legal matters relating to violence, or a matter that is of significant current public interest, and as to which the requester’s role with regard to the matter is central and substantial.”
Failure to comply would make the search engines or speakers liable for, at least, statutory damages of $250/day plus attorney fees.
 
These types of laws are all the rage across the pond; however, this bill will likely go nowhere. If by some miracle this silly bill should pass, it would be slapped down by the courts in a hot minute.

I am with the Austrian School on this one; there is simply, so much information out there, that you have to resort to critical reasoning skills.

I understand the sentiment, but this is going about things in entirely the wrong way. This isn't an issue requiring a change in laws, but a change in societal standards.

The text of the proposed bill is far too vague and far-reaching. It is an overreaction to the current "fake news" accusations which have become so prevalent IMO.

. You're in favor of speech suppression?
Yes that's why I'm outraged!

I love it when MindWars reaches his quota of 10 daily threads to be outraged about.


Gyeaaaah

While I agree that MindWars creates a crapload of threads, and he likes to use sketchy sources, I clicked on the link for the proposed bill. It sounds worthy of some outrage.
