Gillibrand: ‘You Don’t Have to Regulate Speech, You Can Regulate Misinformation’ So People Don’t ‘Develop Such Hatred’ as Buffalo Shooter
Breitbart ^ | 05/16/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 05/16/2022 5:51:33 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview on MSNBC on Monday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) argued that social media platforms should be regulated, but “You don’t have to regulate speech, you can regulate misinformation. You could say, you can’t yell ‘Fire!’ in a theater.” There are “many ways you can abrogate speech rights that are consistent with the Constitution.” And that for “an 18-year-old to develop such hatred in his heart through media platforms that do not have any regulation is a problem. And so, we need commonsense, thoughtful regulation.”

Gillibrand stated, “The problem is, you have a mentally ill 18-year-old who had this kind of ideation, who falls into rabbit holes within our social media platforms that aren’t regulated and have no basis, in terms –.”

Yes, we should regulate misinformation like people claiming that masks worked before they didn’t work before they worked. And we should allow freedom of speech like Donald Trump in Russia with hookers. Then we can all live in a peaceful and happy liberal Marxist utopia.

Of course you can.

There had darn well better be a fire though.

If the statements are correct but someone doesn't like them, that does NOT make the statements "disinformation" no matter who claims that they are.

She can’t possibly believe what she is spewing. It’s the Democrats gaslight de jour to justify censorship. Whatever racist or anti-Semitic trash the kid absorbed, none of it explains why he had no inhibitions about murdering innocent people. The US is awash with mental illness, idiocy, and amorality.

"‘You Don’t Have to Regulate Speech, You Can Regulate Misinformation’..."

Just more proof that:
The only good communist is a dead communist...

Good citizenship would seem to require that true Americans should help Aamerican communists to be the best that they can be...

They all received, and have regurgitated, their DNC/NWO cabal talking points....over this absurd replacement/white supremacist nonsense.

Even leftist Liz Cheney spouted similar. She’s on their distribution list.

There isn’t much upstairs between the ears to begin with.

In talking about hatred we must interject the riots of the recent past, especially those by antifa and BLM, the protests in the streets of Washington, NYC and elsewhere, and of course, those going on now threatening the supreme court justices. These are all demonstrations of hatred, not just internet posts, but action, often violent action. But watch and listen to them - it is pure hatred.

People hated each other long before there was even a written language; this shooter showed himself in the open before the shooting, so someone should have said something. If it had all been censored then even the possibility of stopping him would not have been there.

(I think someone did say something but no action was taken, correct if wrong)

Regulate misinformation?

Why not get to the ultimate solution and regulate thoughts.
