A bill has been introduced in the Senate that would create a federal agency tasked with policing the American people’s speech to crack down on “misinformation” and “hate speech.”
Democrat Senator Michael Bennett (Colo.) introduced the Digital Platform Commission Act (DPCA) last week which would form a de facto “Ministry of Truth” called the Federal Digital Platform Commission.
Bennett claimed his proposed bill would “create an expert federal body empowered to provide comprehensive, sector-specific regulation of digital platforms to protect consumers, promote competition, and defend the public interest.”
The bill says the agency would have five commissioners appointed by Joe Biden and confirmed by the Democrat-controlled Senate.
In the following statement, Bennett said the new Ministry of Truth would be imbued with the power to impose civil penalties on anyone who deviates from Democrat-prescribed narratives.
The new Federal Digital Platform Commission would have the mandate, jurisdiction, and broad set of tools to develop and enforce thoughtful guardrails for a sector that has been left for too long to write its own rules, with serious consequences for everything from teen mental health to disinformation to anti-competitve practices that have hurt small businesses.
It’s past time for a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to regulating digital platforms that have amassed extraordinary power over our economy, society, and democracy.
We should follow the long precedent in American history of empowering an expert body to protect the public interest through common sense rules and oversight for complex and powerful sectors of the economy.
The Commission would have the authority to promulgate rules, impose civil penalties, hold hearings, conduct investigations, and support research.
It could also designate ‘systemically important digital platforms’ subject to additional oversight, regulation, and merger review.”

Throughout history, the censors have NEVER been the good guys.
Everything in the Durham Report was considered mis-information or hate speech a year ago.
Here is speech- traitor, rpo, tree.
The Orwellian MINITRU (for “minimum truth”) was always supposed to be held up as a cautionary warning, not an instruction manual.
The English language utterly fails us in describing the self loathing, America hating Democratic Party in 2023. God, please help us in this fight. You are our only hope.
Whomever is keeping the DC purge list please put him in the top 1000.
Try it you bitches!
It still is!
Come on people. It’s not what he said-It’s YOUR REACTIONS! I’d love to be in the same room/forum with him. I would enjoy slapping him around big-time. Too many of you would go on defense. Time to man-up. Did John Wayne back down to Lee Marvin in Liberty Valence?
This is a fast ball right over the middle of the plate and you GUYS are all girlie-men. They got Michelle. We got YOU!
MTG is my cougar fetus if only I was young. Either way I’m happier than you limber-dic-s.
But people have figured out how to get access to information without having it contextualized and bowlderized by the "smarter people in the room" who have open contempt of them, and those "smarter people" don't like losing that.
People can easily get transcripts of meetings, video of events, and access to various sources of "context" and even though that means people have to work harder to determine validity and therefore context on their own, the benefits outweigh the risks.
And those "smarter people" absolutely abhor that kind of freedom.
Doesn’t senator Bennett know his bill is traitorous to the Constitution?
The Speech & Thought Police are being resurrected, to jail more Americans, specifically Conservatives.
Senator Bennet, Who will determine "Truth"?
Will it be the FBI who have repeatedly LIED to us about FAKE evidence against Trump?
Will it be the CDC who have repeatedly LIED to us about Covid, Natural Immunity, the effectiveness of the shots, which are erroneously called a "vaccine"?
Will it be your fellow Democrats who have repeatedly LIED about evidence regarding Trump?
Will it be ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the NYT who have repeatedly covered up your LIES?
Democrat Senator Michael Bennett knows, at the very least, you need to learn to think in Newspeak and conform to what they think is true and false:
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) - Thought Crime
“Bennet” not “Bennett.”
We know this isn’t a serious proposal because the first million or so guilty of misinformation and hate speech would be democrats.
Starting with Hillary, Piglosi, Schmucky Shumer, the 51 so called “intelligence” authorities who claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was right wing disinformation, on and on and on.
Just far too many more to list.....
