“This one appears to be designed to shut down Free Republic.”
I think we meet the fact checker requirement just by our nature. If someone posts something that is off, wrong, unlikely, within a half dozen posts, somebody will point that out. I’ve seen the mods pull a thread that has fake news more than once.
Which government bureaucrat is going to decide whether the site’s fact checker is really fact checking.
Don’t be fooled. This is a direct attack on conservative websites. This is designed to shut them all down.
I agree with you that our FR fact checkers are the greatest, BUT this is legislation by the leftists on Kalifornia. They will be the ones determining what facts to choose as correct based on the leftist agenda. It will be no good thing for any conservative website.
