So the FCC chair is threatening networks that broadcast unfavorable news

[ThisIsMe]

Dangerous speech shouldn't be considered free.
That's what Biden was stopping.
Drinking gasoline, will cure cancer?
Should that be allowed?

Who said drinking gasoline would cure cancer. And I was talking about the general “war” on “misinformation”. YouTube, Facebook and twitter were censoring people at the behest of the White House.

*To save people's lies during a pandemic of a novel virus.

*To preserve democracy

I get that this is not enough, for a free speech absolutist. I do. I understand why and, really, kind of agree.

But in both cases, there was an imminent threat. So they broke the glass. I get that, too.

The tags are probably a better solution. When it comes to certain things, some public safety issues being one of them, the unsupported garbage and lies should get tagged. Codify it, then we don't have people just spitballing and crossing lines in the sand.

It wasn’t only just Covid. They suppressed information about the hunter laptop as well as election fraud claims.

Biden couldn’t have done that, he wasn’t in office.

Sure he was…

 

[Marener]

Sure he was…

The laptop story broke in October 2020. Trump was president.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

It wasn’t only just Covid.

Not saying it was. I was, however, referring to covid and election fraud lies, specifically.

Also not saying those other examples should not be considered. I think all of it together makes a case for finding and codifying a better solution.

Like, tags.

 

[Crepitus]

Yes, the man is dangerous. He doesn't understand free speech at all.

Neither do his supporters.

And biden was president Jan 2021 to Jan 2025….

The laptop story was “suppressed” before he took office. When it broke.

You are correct. In that instance, social media took it upon themselves to censor that particular story. But Zuckerberg admitted that bidens White House pressured them to censor stories about Covid and election fraud.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Because sometimes disinformation wins.

The Biden Administration was susceptable to disinformation?

Correct the xiden campaign was able to get it suppressed through a major disinformation. Campaign

 

[Marener]

They were susceptible to public opinion which was susceptible to disinformation.

Fox News is a cable station


It’s not a broadcast network


But of the problem here is you dembots don’t even know what we are discussing

This is your excuse so you can hide from ignoring (aand dodging admitting) that you endorse Trump facism.

Prove it.

That’s a Trumpster canard.

 

[struth]

That’s a Trumpster canard.

they claimed it was a russian disinformation

enforcing federal law is not fascism. It's weird you think Federal Communications Act of 1934 is fascist.

 

[struth]

They were susceptible to public opinion which was susceptible to disinformation.

The entire Xiden admin was a disinformation campaign.

 

[Marener]

The entire Xiden admin was a disinformation campaign.

I’d care more about your opinion if you were even close to being acquainted with reality.
