Because the govt would NEVER lie or get it wrong. Indeed - I can’t believe I’m saying this - New York Times executive editor Joe Kahn nailed it.

“I don’t even know how it’s supposed to work in the view of Dan Pfeiffer or the White House,” Kahn snapped. “We become an instrument of the Biden campaign? We turn ourselves into Xinhua News Agency or Pravda, and put out a stream of stuff that’s very, very favorable to them and only write negative stories about the other side? And that would accomplish — what?”
Kahn didn’t stop, announcing a formal re-drawing of lines in the sand. He told the White House that fixing the country is their job, reporting is his job, choosing presidents is the job of voters, and stop blaming us if you can’t get re-elected on your own.
“There are people out there in the world who may decide, based on their democratic rights, to elect Donald Trump as president,” Kahn told Smith. “It is not the job of the news media to prevent that from happening. It’s the job of Biden and the people around Biden to prevent that from happening.”
They forgot to include the nightly news and major newspapers....
Like the only newspapers you can read are the ones posted on special boards by the government
We can’t allow people to have unmonitored and unsupervised conversations among themselves.
The irony of a LIBERAL arts professor who certainly fashions himself as a political LIBERAL arguing in a magazine called THE CONVERSATION that we shouldn’t have a free conversation.
The issue here is noticing.
X has become something of a hub for noticing.
Some want noticing curtailed so they call for censorship.
For our liberty to be preserved the noticing must continue!
Oversight, control and punishment of speech has been every fascist’s dream since dawn eternal.
The means are now available to not just monitor all speech, but to control it right down to the individual.
Tell this Scottish faggot to invent his own internet and he can post all his skirt wearing fascism there.
3rd world assholes have no say.
Because folks have been brainwashed into not being able to think for themselves.
This is a difficult topic.
Without some form of censorship, any online platform quickly devolves into an outlet for the worst depravities of humanity. Like the torture of animals and humans, etc.
Constitutional free speech is meant to protect political speech, not the depraved rants of unbalanced minds.
If anyone wants to see completely uncensored internet, I believe 4chan still offers that content.
“There appears little chance of social media platforms taking stronger action to remove divisive content. Since tech entrepreneur Elon Musk’s acquisition of the X (formerly Twitter) microblogging platform in October 2022, the guardrails designed to protect minorities have, in fact, been dismantled.”
These companies need to just set up political discussion boards and the only rules are no promotion of violence and what is posted on the board, stays on the board. Donors can sponsor the boards and let the public have at it. You enter at your own risk.
Lost me there.
“You walk into the room with your pencil in your hand.
You see somebody naked and you ask ‘Who is this man?’
You try so hard, but you can’t understand,
Just what you will do when you get home.
Cuz you know something is happening here but you don’t know what it is.
Do you Mr. Jones?”
Peacebuilding = absence of conflict… elimination of opposition.
Democracy is turbulent… deal with it.
UN International Day of Living Together in Peace.
Double plus goodspeak comrade.
Government imposted “peace” is just the softer side of tyranny.
“Peace” means don’t you dare disagree with what I say.
A much better path toward fighting disinformation would be to teach children critical thinking and logic from an early age. Government schools do just the opposite, the ideal student being one who swallows the indoctrination readily and completely.
1. "Freedom is dangerous. You want to be safe, don't you?"
2. "Freedom is selfish. What'd good for you as an individual isn't as important as what's good for society."
And,
3. "The function of government is to decide what's good for society."
And,
4. "We're the government."
These guys have played the same song so often the record's worn out.
