In the great debate of the past two decades about freedom versus control of the network, China was largely right and the United States was largely wrong. Significant monitoring and speech control are inevitable components of a mature and flourishing internet, and governments must play a large role in these practices to ensure that the internet is compatible with a societys norms and values.
One advantage to the corronavirus shut down of colleges and universities is that commie/fascists such as these do not have access to America's youth

That piece lost me when it claimed the Virus came from the Wet Markets of Wuhan, it came from the Wuhan lab where it was manufactured.

A lot of bad stuff can go down when people start thinking and expressing themselves.

we live in a pluralistic society, so whos norms and values is the government supposed to protect? This sentence is just a word salad trying to justify fascism.

Yes, we DO have monitoring and censoring going on, but it is not the “government” monitoring everyone, it is Liberal activists IN government and the MEDIA who are monitoring and censoring CONSEVATIVES ONLY.

Today, the platforms are proudly collaborating with one another, and following government guidance, to censor harmful information related to the coronavirus.Following government guidance? Wait. What? Statute and clause, please.

We need to make sure that, when weve made it past this crisis, our country isnt transformed into a place we dont want to live, warns the American Civil Liberties Unions Jay Stanley. Then file your lawsuits ye of almost unlimited funds. Too many of our elected officials now have had a taste of total power and they like it, so after this "emergency" there will be another "emergency", and another and another. This needs to end NOW!

The Atlantic is a leftist cesspool; can be useful to see what the enemy is thinking and planning. They are getting really brazen.

Insanity; "societys norms and values" often means allowing profanity and vulgarity and invectives against conservatives (esp. Christian ones) while censoring politically incorrect speech. Including reports that challenge the Covid-19 and Climate Change hysteria, and or oppose the homosexual agenda.

We liveand for several years, we have been livingin a world of serious and growing harms resulting from digital speech. Governments will not stop worrying about these harms. And private platforms will continue to expand their definition of offensive content, and will use algorithms to regulate it ever more closely. The general trend toward more speech control will not abate....
As Google and Apple effectively turn most phones in the world into contact-tracing tools, they have the ability to accomplish something that no government by itself could: nearly perfect location tracking of most the worlds population. That is why governments in the United States and around the world are working to take advantage of the tool the two companies are offering.
