Warren Wants to Criminalize "Disinformation" [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 2 Feb 2020 | John Semmens

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass) promised to enact censorship of misleading political speech if she becomes president. "We need new laws that impose tough civil and criminal penalties for disseminating false information related to U.S. Elections," she says.

"Trump is the poster boy for disseminating false information," Warren claims. "He has sent thousands of lies over electronic media—both on Twitter and Face Book. These include assertions that his policies have been good for the middle class and minorities when everyone knows they are not. These lies influence how people vote. That undermines democracy. I hope that the FEC is active in shutting down this disinformation in the run up to November, but clearly we need stronger laws that will more effectively deter this scourge."

"Following my victory in November I will assemble a task force to propose meaningful sanctions on violators," Warren vowed. "Assets of offending businesses will be seized. Corporate executives will be prosecuted. Individuals will be sentenced to community service working for socially progressive organizations in a bid to reeducate them and save them from harsher punishments."

The sad thing is that they do arrest people in Hong Kong for being accused of spreading false information.
