No: what is bad for the goose is also bad for the gander. Once you must register with the gov. for being critical of gov. then FR would also have to do so, and which would lead to monitoring and paying fees. And to censorship. Unconstitutional.
Slippery slope argument. The bill specifically says those paid to write an article, which then leads to the practice of lying and presenting the post as an independent opinion. I should have left the free part out of my earlier post. FR is not paid to write for anyone.
We can be purists all we want, fact is when you fight fair and the other doesn’t, you lose. In war you do not play nice and this is very much a war.
