This government crackdown on human rights the last two months has emboldened the Left. Exhibit 2,538 from the Leftard Atlantic:
“In the great debate of the past two decades about freedom versus control of the network, China was largely right and the United States was largely wrong. Significant monitoring and speech control are inevitable components of a mature and flourishing internet, and governments must play a large role in these practices to ensure that the internet is compatible with a society’s norms and values.”
And your solution would be what?
The thing is, a lot of misinformation gets spread on the internet.
It used to be that when information was disseminated by Newspapers or TV Stations, those people had an obligation to get it right, because they had a lot to lose if they got it wrong in terms of libel lawsuits or lost credibility.
Now any twit with a twitter feed can go out and claim drinking bleach cures Coronavirus, and they are taken seriously by too many people.
