Any time you're ready to answer this question..........

Why are some congressional Repubs pushing for lower standards governing misinformation?​

.......I'm all ears. Otherwise, **** off.

Write your Congresscritter and ask. If that's too difficult for you, you are in the wrong place. Maybe move to a more intellectually compatible forum like Sponge Bob or something similar.

Even someone as stupid as you should be able to distinguish between Twitter and Google. Just stare at the letters really hard and the difference should become clear.

I'm asking you. Why are you afraid to answer?

It is because every Republican is HITLER.

Especially Byron Donalds and Eric Johnson. Nazis all day long.

That wasn't Google, you are spreading misinformation and lies. Try harder.

Leftists get upset when views that don’t push the liberal narrative aren’t censored, so they try to Deligimitize them by calling them “misinformation.”

Do you folks have some sort of filter that blocks factual content misaligned with the right wing narrative so you can't read it?

Writing for a liberal-conservative coalition of six justices, Justice Amy Coney Barrett said that neither the five individuals nor the two states who sued the government had legal standing to be in court at all. She said they presented no proof to back up their claims that the government had pressured social media companies like Twitter and Facebook into restricting their speech. "Unfortunately," she said, the Fifth Circuit court of appeals "relied on factual findings that are "clearly erroneous."

So what? Google wants to allow the conservative viewpoint now. What difference does it make why they decided to silence us previously? They’ve come around to the correct decision.

They blocked accounts from people who violated company policy by spreading misinformation. Why do you find that problematic?

YouTube to allow creators banned for Covid-19, election misinformation to apply for reinstatement​

Google-owned YouTube on Tuesday said it will soon allow previously banned accounts to apply for reinstatement, rolling back a policy that had treated violations as permanent.

The change applies to channels removed for posting Covid-19 or election-related misinformation, according to a letter from Alphabet lawyer Daniel Donovan to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. Previously, those types of offenses carried lifetime bans.

“Today, YouTube’s Community Guidelines allow for a wider range of content regarding Covid and elections integrity,” Donovan wrote.

YouTube wrote on X that it will be a limited pilot project open to a subset of creators as well as channels that were terminated under policies the company has since retired. YouTube also said its new reinstatement program will launch soon.

Among channels previously banned under those rules were some associated with Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It’s not yet clear whether those channels will be reinstated.

This move follows mounting Republican pressure on tech companies to reverse Biden-era speech policies on vaccine and political misinformation. In March, Rep. Jordan subpoenaed Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, alleging YouTube was a “direct participant in the federal government’s censorship regime.”

In 2021, YouTube said it would remove content that spread misinformation about all approved vaccines.

YouTube bans high-profile anti-vaccine accounts, says it will block all vaccine misinformation​

Google-owned YouTube banned prominent anti-vaccine accounts in an effort to strengthen its policies on misinformation around vaccines, the company said in a blog post Wednesday. It will also ban misinformation on all vaccines that are confirmed to be safe by the World Health Organization and local health authorities.

Social media companies have said since the beginning of the pandemic that they’re trying to stop the spread of coronavirus misinformation. But falsehoods have continued to run rampant as companies struggle to police the constant flood of posts and uploads to their platforms.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/29/youtube-bans-high-profile-anti-vaccine-accounts.html

It's more than a little paradoxical how trump's FCC chairman attacks the rights of comedians to ridicule Don on national TV while Repub congressmen spend their time cajoling social media platforms to allow more lies and misinformation to be posted without regulation. Then again, maybe it isn't since misinformation is their stock and trade.

Gee, I almost said spreading misinformation is not a "conservative viewpoint" about but of course it is.

Freedom of expression is definitely a double-edged sword, because it has to assume that Americans will be honest, credible and decent to at least some degree.

Since we've been clearly heading in the opposite direction as a society, this will be one rough ride. We're still better off with freedom of expression than without it, but this will sure as hell be a test.

The parallel to trump is unmistakable. The Founders never contemplated a prez so intent on subverting democracy. Consequently, the guardrails put in place have not been adequate to handle trump introducing the country to autocratic rule.

The same could be said about free speech and the abuse of it by people with the intention of spreading misinformation harmful to the republic and the health of its citizens.

And now they’ve decided that the accounts did NOT violate company policy by spreading what liberals call “misinformation,” and decided to reinstate them.

I thought you’re for free speech. You mean only speech that advances the liberal agenda?

The Founders did what they could to warn us. Trump recognized the opportunity and he saw how easily and quickly misinformation spreads. And he has a massive advantage over what happened 90 years ago, in that misinformation (maybe "mal-information") spreads everywhere and immediately now, and is instantly amplified further.

Google is allowing people who were previously banned permanently due to rules violations to apply for reinstatement. Next time, please read the links I provide so I don't have to spoon feed info to you you could have read yourself.

.......I'm all ears. Otherwise, **** off.

The answer is obvious, even to you. Well, maybe not.

They are NOT lowering the Standards governing information.

They are strengthening the 1st Amendment standards.

It only becomes misinformation when the left speaks.
