In United States constitutional law, ‘false statements of fact ‘are statements of fact (as opposed to points of law) that are false. Such statements are ‘not always’ protected by the First Amendment..... This is usually due to laws against defamation, that is making statements that harm the reputation of another.

The attack on free expression:

Just as we warned last week, union-backed politicians in California and across the country are exploiting the Capitol riots to try to quash free speech. This week, former union leader, and current California Democratic Party chair, Rusty Hicks repeatedly called the (lower-case “d”) democratic effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom “a coup.”

He claimed, “This recall effort, which really ought to be called the California coup, is led by right-wing conspiracy theorists, white nationalists, anti-vaxxers, and groups who encourage violence on our democratic institutions.”

Social media has recently purged the accounts of countless conservatives. Google and Apple banned Parler from their app stores, then Amazon pulled its hosting, banished it from the internet altogether. The moves have been widely celebrated by the mainstream media, which, ironically, seem to be among today’s worst defenders of free speech.

This week, a Twitter employee leaked audio of CEO Jack Dorsey saying this clampdown is only the beginning. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested creating a federal commission (a Ministry of Truth?) to “rein in our media environment so that you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation.”

A new legislative effort in California seeks to create Patriot Act-style agencies, ostensibly to root out right-wing extremism. But government grows—that’s an iron law of political science–and Californians rightly wonder how long before such laws will target people like us, men and women who reasonably dissent in the face of policy failures.

For years, progressives have been trying to quash opposition by suggesting that conservatives are “racist.” Now they’re leveling up by calling conservatives “dangerous” and “extremist” to shut down debate — in some cases literally. Doing so allows them to Zamboni the ice to more easily slide their agenda forward.

The clampdown: On the latest episode of National Review’s RadioFree California, CPC President Will Swaim and board member David Bahnsen consider California reactions to the pro-Trump mayhem at the U.S. Capitol, including Trump-free Facebook and Twitter, the electronic shutdown of a nonpartisan policy conference in Sacramento, new legislation to recreate a California Patriot Act, and the California Democratic Party’s attempt to label the Recall Newsom campaign a “California coup.”

If you are going to post a link to Twitter, don’t list it as a link to something else.

Every time a Freeper follows a link to Twitter, a demon gets its horns.

I really didn’t appreciate giving Twitter another Nickle by visiting their demonic forum.

I have vowed to never visit there again. You made me break my vow.

This is Fetterman. He looks like one of those mutants after a heavy dose of radiation.

Hey Lt. Gov: I hear you're a heroin addict.

See, that right there is free speech. You're a public figure (politician) and since it's not an allegation, it's legal. Free Speech 'n all that.

Now go eat a big back of dicks. (That's free speech too!)

Is this compromised person aware not only of the proof, but that the president was impeached twice on no facts or proof?

Is saying that the 2016 was a fraud brought on by Trump’s collusion with the Russians also a lie?

All including American Thnker have been subdued into silence by the fear of BIG tech and corporations piling on on Trump!! The tragedy of all of this is that the DemonKKKrats always get their way and always win! No matter what! Even if the evidence is staring us in the face they convinced you it never happened! We are living in a time of history where the demise of a nation has picked its burial gravestone...😢

Never mind the previous two years of law suits to enable election fraud.

Eliminated all of the guardrails: no signature requirement, eliminated the checking of signatures, allowed late ballots to come in 3 days after the elction, no postage, etc.
