The Democrats think they will be the censors.

If the censors were Freepers the Democrats would be howling about “fascism” like the old Berkeley “Free Speech Movement” of the 1960s.

Shouldn't have to remind anyone that Democrats view 1984 as an instruction manual.

The stupid well-indoctrinted Democrats don’t get it.

If you have true free speech it cannot be the government, or corporations colluding with government, that determines what is “misinformation”. Such a situation merely sanctions the government official line as the only legitimate line and with it the government attempts to silence anything but the official line. That scenario is the opposite of the very heart of free speech.

55% of Americans say the government should be able to “restrict false information” on the Internet. Sad that so many are so dumb. The Red Plague is spreading.

If the bass turd left could get away with it, they’ll cut the tongues out of all non-RATs. Free speech is where the truth normally comes from. RATs can’t handle the truth.

It was so important the Founding Fathers guaranteed it in the very first Amendment to the Constitution. They rightly realized that it was the absolute greatest imperative to the function and survival of a democratically elected representative republic.

Right on this.

Free Speech is scary! It’s like barreling down the highway without a brake pedal and without a steering wheel. I mean, the car could go anywhere!

That should have been evident by which party steals the most yard signs. I may despise democrats, but I would never steal yard signs as that would infringe on their free speech.

Wuli, I don’t care WHO determines what is and what is not disinformation. WHAT I care about is anybody doing anything about it. Information can be wrong. So what?

Let disinformation sit side by side with whatever else is out there and let people decide for themselves what to believe.

Democrats seek to control all things. Speech is no exception. That disease didn't begin to infect their party until around the end of the Carter Era, then metastasized during the Obama Era.

I don't think it's of their own doing, I think it's the deep state using the power of wordsmithing and propaganda. I just think the democrats are too stupid to see it for what it really is?

The Democrats have free speech. They will value it more after it is taken away from them, which it will. They are just too stupid to realize it. They think it will be different this time because they are so smart and good.
