Right now, we really need the “misinformation” removed from crap joints like SeeBS, CNN, AP, abc, NPR, NBC, the WAPO, the New Yawk Slimes, USA Today and the rest of the far left “mainstream media”.
The difference is controlled speech vs the 1st.
Look up the author. It’s some millennial girl from Stanford. She’s the type at thanksgiving dinner that comes home from college and has so much to teach the family. /s
She’s a little jacobin that simply does not recognize the right to free speech unless you say what she agrees with.
Can anyone imagine Mr Stanford seeing the Marxist redfem clowns operating in his name?

Never accept the premise of an election theft-denying fascist.

I consider myself a ‘Classic Liberal’ sort of a hippie. Where are all my old friends now? Seems they were just following the flavor of the day, no real convictions.
As for ‘misinformation’, Judge Brandeis:
The best remedy to combat harmful speech is more speech not enforced silence.
God gave us free will.
There is no governmental mandate - legal or otherwise - to remove misinformation.
Perhaps the only good thing to come from the pandemic, is that the MSM and medical-industrial complex destroyed any remaining credibility they had. At this point, pretty much everyone knows they are lying when they open their mouths. What’s remaining is a retinue of leftists who wield the “misinformation” label like it’s something new or a Russian bot that must be controlled.
The young author clearly is “concerned.” But at least she published a piece that shines light on the pole-shifting. The Brandy Zardrozny’s of the world would doxx the academic behind the study.
It’s kinda fun watching them gasp for air as they swirl around the drain. Go ahead….publish all the lies and misinformation you want. I’ll keep pointing out to family and friends their lies when asked and eat popcorn.
This is typical leftist pseudo analysis. They talk around the issue and cast it in the context that what they think “misinformation” is truly “misinformation”. We’ve seen how the leftist and statist media treat information they don’t like casting it as “misinformation” while parroting as truth absolute lies and foolishness. Should we agree that gender is indeterminate and its misinformation to suggest that kids shouldn’t be transitioned? Issue after issue where differences of personal and scientific information diverge, truth seekers will always be on the losing side if the left, establishment, and statists can remove “misinformation”. We also know without a doubt that the terrorists like Hamas would not have their misinformation removed.
...they’re now “the party of experts shushing the world.”

Darned if that isn’t spot on.
Conservatives are bombarded 25/7 with leftist propaganda. They don’t see any significant benefit to banning it on a few Internet platforms. On the other hand they are excluded from the MSM and their best outlet now is alternative media, and the banning has been from the leftist side. There is no downside to them to limit banning.
And of course the 20 ton elephant in the living room with sparklers in its ears and lasers shooting out of its butt is the left’s Russia Russia Russia hoax, which was the biggest and worst example of misinformation pretty much ever.
We can’t have a serious discussion about misinformation until liberals admit that they’re guilty of perpetrating one of the worst acts of misinformation in, like, history.
And the crux of the matter is just who is deciding what *misinformation* is.
And anyone who thinks that removing what THEY consider *misinformation* is a good thing or necessary is all inn favor of censorship.
Dee Dee Ramone was said to have been, or to have become, a Conservative.
Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) of the Sex Pistols stated publicly that he voted for Donald Trump, after saying earlier that he liked Barack Obama.
It’s not just about facts: Democrats and Republicans have sharply different attitudes about removing misinformation from social media
************************************************************
Just my two cents this Saturday morning: We NOW have “fake news” and we have “fake” Republicans”. So, I don’t think saying “Democrats AND!! Republicans” is a TRUTHFUL/ACCURATE statement anymore.
The accurate way to say it would be “The Uni-Party” has sharply different attitudes about removing misinformation from social media.
I’m tiring of this so-called ‘discussion’.
The narrative is ‘misinformation on social media’.
What about the misinformation projected by the government and projected/repeated by msm?
There’s the answer. Period.
Exactly.
Speech and the press are guaranteed to be completely FREE.
They are not guaranteed to be TRUE.
Or non-deceptive, or deceptive, or illusory, or good, or evil, or controversial, or agreeable, or helpful.
The educated person must fish through tons and tons of written and spoken words and make up his own mind. Or he may ignore what is being said.
The government has NO ROLE in this process.
Don't know why people have a hard time understanding this.
