Thought Police alarm: U.S. urges you to confront friends' 'misinformation'
WND ^ | 12/4/2022 | Art Moore

Posted on 12/05/2022 6:18:27 AM PST by grcuster

The Biden administration has awarded $5 million to a group of journalists developing software to encourage Americans to confront their friends over "harmful" posts and to "correct misinformation" such as stating the COVID-19 vaccines are not effective.

The group, called Hacks/Hackers, also is organizing censorship of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, to determine who is a "credible source" on vaccines and block others from being cited, the Daily Wire reported.

Users of the taxpayer-funded software – the Analysis and Response Toolkit for Trust, or ARTT – are encouraged to paste in their friends' Twitter and Facebook posts. The tool will tell them how "harmful" the posts are.

On my good days I’m considered an a$$hole.

I may be an @$$hole, but I'm not a bigot. Everybody is equally worthless ...

We are, obviously, in the third term of low IQ Obama and his husband.

It is so interesting how far from the Constitutional limits our spending and law making go on a daily basis.

Be prepared to lose a lot of friends incapable of dealing with facts.

Name calling is no substitute for facts.

> “Counterrevolutionary”, “Trotskyite dog”, “Reactionary swine” <

My favorite term was “wrecker”. It was an actual crime in the Soviet Union. And the beauty of it was that the term could be arbitrarily applied to just about anyone for anything.

You stopped clapping for Comrade Stalin after only 10 minutes? You are trying to undermine Comrade Stalin‘s authority! You are a wrecker.

Oops. Maybe I shouldn’t be talking about this. It might give Brandon’s handlers some ideas.

I disagree. It’s not my job to correct misinformation about shots. It is none of my business what you do or don’t do regarding getting the shots or the boosters. I have no interest or desire to tell other people what to do or how to live....and I expect other people to reciprocate and not try and tell me how to live.

I am at the age and stage in my life where I will not tolerate being told what I should do.

I do that all the time. However, liberals tend to get testy when you challenge their religions.

Same here. I’ve had lefties “confront” me here on FR pretty regularly. They even ramp up the nastiness and lies in an attempt to intimidate which only makes me laugh harder.

I think we’ve all had experience countering Alinsky tactics. This new Biden nonsense will be a walk in the park for most of us. Leftists are nasty, but they’re not very bright.
