WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Thursday unveiled an international “Declaration for the Future of the Internet” with 50 other countries, slamming the policies of “authoritarian” governments — while endorsing efforts to curb online “disinformation” and “harassment.”

You didn’t think they would just let you have your freedom back without a fight did you?

The keft is upset today.. Let’s look backa tad...
Do any of you remember this.. As it is reported? Gore did not complain!?!

*****
It all began with someone being wrong on the internet.

Right-wing provocateur and former Breitbart editor Raheem Kassam, who cofounded Steve Bannon’s show, War Room: Pandemic, flubbed a fact about Bush v. Gore. When his error was pointed out to him, he immediately apologized and corrected his mistake.

I kid. He responded by calling a female reporter a “dumb cunt” and suggested she should lose weight.

It all began with this tweet from Kassam in which he alleged that “Al Gore had his challenges heard by the Supreme Court.”

As many Twitter users pointed out, Gore did not challenge anything before the U.S. Supreme Court. Rather, Bush filed an emergency petition with the high court in an effort to stop a hand recount in Florida. That effort succeeded, cementing Bush’s victory in Florida and with it, the electoral votes necessary to become president.

Several people replied to Kassam to point out that Bush was actually the one who filed the petition. But rather than admit his mistake, Kassam insisted that no, it’s the children who are wrong.

After calling the people who noted his error “retards,” Kassam said, “Gore had his arguments heard, which is literally what I tweeted, and then cried about being the REAL president.”

So, Kassam went from stating that Gore had challenged the election before the Supreme Court, to suggesting that, because Gore had merely presented arguments in response to Bush’s challenge, then that means Gore also challenged, even though he was not the plaintiff. Or something.

One of those who pointed out Kassam’s error was Jessica Huseman of Votebeat.

Huseman Kassam exchange 1

“He seems like he needs a lot of attention to sustain his hilariously aggressive Twitter feed,” she said. “I am pleased to see his followers can meet that need. I wish him the best in his endeavors.”

When asked if she does in fact drink boxed wine, Huseman replied, “like water.”

Huseman said she’s used to such abuse on Twitter, but added, “Frankly, though, the people who tend to call me a cunt tend to at least be more original than this guy. WINE. CATS. YOU ARE FAT. I award him no points for originality.”

Maybe Biden should focus on bringing our people home from Afghanistan first.

The international declaration calls for a “free” and “open” internet and condemns “censorship.” Its wording also broadly condemns “harassment” and “intimidation” and calls for signers “to make the internet a safe and secure place for everyone, particularly women, children, and young people.”

Safe space for Leftists

...slamming the policies of “authoritarian” governments

The Washington outfit needs to take the beam out of its own eye.

Musk-accomplishes-more-for-free-speech-in-one-afternoon-than-republicans-have-in-decades!

WORLD—According to sources, an eccentric immigrant entrepreneur from South Africa just accomplished more for free speech than Republicans have in decades of controlling the government, wielding Federal power, and spending trillions of dollars.

“Wow! Who is this guy? He’s really making us look bad here,” said one Republican Senator. “This Twitter deal is such a huge step forward for freedom of expression! Wow! Imagine if other conservative wealthy people did stuff like that instead of funding our reelection campaigns? Um, wait—I didn’t mean that. Scratch that. Are you recording this?”

“Man, why didn’t I think of doing something like that?” said the Republican Senator. “If you vote for me, I’ll form a committee after the election season to explore the reasons we didn’t think of that!”

Free Republic is the only political contribution, we are making at this time.

This morning on our 4 email systems, we had over 40 requests from so called conservative republicans and organizations.

Musk did more to help us in one week, than these worthless bastards have in the last 20+ years.

The RNC and other worthless so called conservative organizations will make at least 6 phone calls wanting money now starting in 15 minutes.

So they get nothing. They get a *77 response.

$crew them re their begging for money.

How do you reclaim something you hijacked?

Obama is trying to turn this into NAZI Germany, or the old Soviet Union.

Screw that!

Where "disinformation" is defined as anything that does not support the leftist agenda.

What they are after are censorship tools. The left has a long history of disinformation - of doing the most terrible, despicable things while simultaneously calling these acts something else and blaming their opponents for exactly what they are doing. Mr. Orwell would be proud and horrified.

Big time! I consider ALL organs of the eneMedia to always be lying because they have never identified the “sources” who informed them during the TrumpRussia hoax. Until they BURN those “sources” EVERY story is tainted as a lie.

Their censorship of the internet = bad
Our censorship of the internet = good

Well, disinformation cannot mean “lies”, because we are dealing with postmodernists who have dispensed with the notion that there is any possible objective standard of truth, thereby also dispensing with the very notion of a “lie”.

So the only definition left is “information I don’t like”, or perhaps more precisely “information that does not support my point of view”.
