Regulators in Washington are showing increasing interest in tightening rules on political speech on the web, arguing that the dissonant voices enabled by "new media" have become too influential. If that effort is successful, experts wonder whether it could impact more traditional media as well, especially in how it relates to conservatives.
"The best example we can give is going back a few years to when the [Federal Communications Commission] was looking at trying to silence talk radio, which was obviously a realm of conservatism," said Drew Johnson, executive director of the nonprofit group "Protect Internet Freedom."

Yep, and has been since the very first post critical of any government.
It hasn’t even started yet. Clinton says that she and “Bill” are going to have to take some of our freedoms away to protect us from ourselves. A lot people feeding off of the U.S. taxpayers appear to be fine with that.
So what’s the problem? In return, we get “free” healthcare, including unlimited drug rehab treatment, political correctness, food stamps and open borders, among other things. < / sarcasm >
It’s time to silence the critics of free speech!!
Wait!?
Aaaagggghhhhh!
or.....are self-destructing from within.....
Haven’t we noticed the on line articles that are being posted on here? Anti Trump...trying to get us to bend with the #NeverTrump crap; follow RINO RYAN because he needs to break Trump to follow HIS agenda?
Yeah, I would say we are being hit with negative, negative, negative all the time!!!
We need internet communications and blogging to be redefined under the umbrella of right of assembly as well as right of free speech.
Next but odd thing is to severely limit and restrict intellectual property rights. Providing a “non-commercial fair use” provisions for methodology concepts and practices.
If you can’t see the connection, send a message and I’ll explain it best I can.
They are seen as a goal by the left.
No, we haven’t noticed “anti-Trump” here lately.
They’ve all been banned or left.
Not all...
“Regulators in Washington are showing increasing interest in tightening rules on political speech on the web,”
Take away the first amendment, and we go to the second.
You betcha.
Online free speech poses the biggest threat to global elites in a couple of hundred years. Trump just won a nomination with Twitter. You KNOW they’ll try and shut this down!
YES!!!
Facebook is helping. Here are some Drudge headlines today:
