“ The difference is controlled speech vs the 1st.”

“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant. It’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” -Ronald Reagan
And I would even go further and classify it as the root difference between communist and non-communist.
Very well put. Liberals think they have to “protect” everyone less “brilliant” than they.
Here’s the ‘nut’of the long article;
Overall, 69% of Democrats said misinformation headlines in our study should be removed, but only 34% of Republicans said the same; 49% of Democrats considered the misinformation headlines harmful, but only 27% of Republicans said the same; and 65% of Republicans considered headline removal to be censorship, but only 29% of Democrats said the same.
It’s an interesting topic of study
Misinformation is free speech- there should be noone trying to throttle it. It is not the governments job to determine what people can see or hear. Once a government starts censoring free speech, they become tyranical, drunk on their new found power- we saw this with Biden working to censor speech through social media
Yes.
I enjoy asking these “disinformation must be banned” people if the “flat Earth theories” should be banned. CLEARLY that’s disinformation, right? I’ve yet to have one tell me that it should be banned. It’s kinda weird when you think about it.
One side believes that “misinformation” is information that isn’t True.
The other side believes that “misinformation” is anything that contradicts their “narrative” or subverts their propaganda.
There is no such thing as “misinformation”. There is only an endless stream of information that we must learn to accept or reject based upon our own world view and experience.

The Left has ALWAYS been primarily concerned with THEIR speech, and only against censorship when there was a chance of it being turned against them.
