New Senate Bill Would Create Federal Agency to Police Americans for ‘Misinformation’ and ‘Hate Speech’

Nice display of gaslighting from your own experience and bias.
Do you think spreading "misinformation" should be a crime?

Like 2020 was stolen

Mask don't work and only make you sicker

The vaxx is poison

Do you wish there was a fed you could report people like me to?

If Americans don't stand up to democrats soon, Americans will lose all rights to privacy, have everything taken from them, while democrats demand Americans be happy about it... or else

My God they don't even care that this is wholly unconstitutional.


A new Senate bill would create a federal agency to police Americans’ speech for “misinformation” and “hate speech” if passed by the Congress.

The bill was brough forth by Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet and is dubbed the Digital Platform Commission Act (DPCA). As the senator announced, the legislation would “create an expert federal body empowered to provide comprehensive, sector-specific regulation of digital platforms to protect consumers, promote competition, and defend the public interest.”

“The new Federal Digital Platform Commission would have the mandate, jurisdiction, and broad set of tools to develop and enforce thoughtful guardrails for a sector that has been left for too long to write its own rules, with serious consequences for everything from teen mental health to disinformation to anticompetitve practices that have hurt small businesses,” the senator argued.


“As a country, we should take pride that most of the world’s leading tech companies were founded in America. But they aren’t start-ups anymore. Today they rank among the most powerful companies in human history. It’s past time for a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to regulating digital platforms that have amassed extraordinary power over our economy, society, and democracy,” said Bennet. “We don’t have to choose between letting digital platforms write their own rules, allowing competitors like China and the E.U. write those rules, or leaving it to politicians in Congress. We should follow the long precedent in American history of empowering an expert body to protect the public interest through common sense rules and oversight for complex and powerful sectors of the economy.”

The new Federal Digital Platform Commission would have five commissioners appointed by the president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. It would be “staffed by experts with a background in areas such as computer science, software development, and technology policy.”


The Commission would have “a broad mandate to promote the public interest, with specific directives to protect consumers, promote competition, and assure the fairness and safety of algorithms on digital platforms, among other areas,” the senator’s statement added. “To fulfill its mandate, the Commission would have the authority to promulgate rules, impose civil penalties, hold hearings, conduct investigations, and support research. It could also designate ‘systemically important digital platforms’ subject to additional oversight, regulation, and merger review.”

The Digital Platform Commission Act has garnered support from various experts and organizations. Former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler commends the bill for modernizing national policies and introducing an agile regulatory model suitable for the digital age. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser emphasizes the need for federal action and a regulatory framework to protect citizens in the online world. Public Knowledge, a nonprofit organization, endorses the bill as a consumer-centered approach to holding online platforms accountable. Other supporters include the Center for Humane Technology, communication and technology policy experts from Georgetown University and Yale School of Management, and various advocacy groups concerned with the impact of digital platforms on democracy, youth, and public health.


“The Digital Platform Commission Act builds the capacity a 21st century democracy needs to align our rapidly changing digital landscape with public interest,” said Center for Humane Technology.

As Reclaim the Net noted on Twitter, the bill would “empower a new federal agency to create a council that establishes ‘enforceable behavioral codes’ on social media platforms and AI. The council will include ‘disinformation’ experts.”

Lol, I hate you. Let them stuff that up their pipe and smoke it. Bet no one knocks on my door.

So an innocent person can spend 4 years in the slammer until something like the Durham Report frees the innocent? Eh.... I don't think that's gonna work. Just sayin'.

Get used to it, folks. When the Bolsheviks took power in Russia in 1917 they made antisemitism a capital offense and the penalty for graffiti mandatory execution on the spot. The Bolsheviks hate, hate, hate, anyone having the freedom to say anything except for they themselves.

This is who is now in control. Vote harder, gentiles.

And you want to do the same to police and punish LGBT people. Same animal.
President Trump is not 80. President Trump is 76 years old. That's four years younger, plus, he has a wife who is a specialist in human regeneration through nutrition for a long, healthy life, and she's second to none in regenerating healthy human integument. He is likely to be energetic up to the age of 120. She knows how to make things right in the human body, and she is an extremely intelligent and good human being herself.

They can't do anything without the House.
 
Anything is possible when the media becomes the propaganda arm of a political administration. Case in point FDR's E.O. 9066.

While there is a possibility that Trump's wife may know about healthy eating and how to stay young, it's highly doubtful that Trump himself is the same way. The only pics of him with chow is with lots of fast food (aka "junk food"), like fried chicken, hamburgers and the like.

I'm surprised you didn't know that Melania Trump has her specialties that are top of the world. Trump saw that in her and made her his wife.

Melania might have her specialties, but I seriously doubt they have transferred to Trump.

And no....................Trump didn't see anything in her, he saw a hot chick that would make great arm candy, which is why he married her, not for her brains or accomplishments as I seriously doubt that Trump cares anything about that.

And...................don't you find it strange that Melania is very rarely seen in public with Trump?

The good news is that this bill will not pass in the current Senate cuz there's no way the democrats can get 10 GOP senators to sign on for it. Or at least I hope not cuz this is legalized censorship where unelected politicians can decide what is misinformation and what isn't. Folks, this right here is what you can expect from the democrats if they ever get enough votes in the Senate to abolish the filibuster, plus control the House and have a democrat in the White House.
