Adam Schiff Demands Election ‘Misinformation’ Crackdown Through Social Media Censorship
Breitbart ^ | 10/03/2024 | Lucas Nolan

Posted on 10/03/2024 10:07:06 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is calling on Big Tech to censor alleged election misinformation, conveniently ignoring his own history of propagating the debunked Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff is now demanding that major tech companies take aggressive action to combat the spread of so-called “misinformation” and “disinformation” ahead of the 2024 election. However, Schiff’s sudden concern about election integrity rings hollow given his prominent role in spreading one of the most damaging political conspiracy theories in recent memory — the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

In a letter sent this week to the CEOs of Meta, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, Google and others, Schiff and several Democratic colleagues expressed alarm about the “threat” of false and misleading online content to the upcoming election. The lawmakers pressed the tech giants on how they plan to alter their content moderation policies to crack down on users who share “mis- and disinformation.”

Considering history, it odd that totalitarianism is often their first instinct.

While we're at it, put a government guard on every copying machine and hunt down the Samizdat publishers distributing lies against the Socialist States of America!

For those kids out there who don't remember the evil empire, Samizdat is the clandestine copying and distribution of government-suppressed literature or other media in Soviet-bloc countries. From Russian sam, “self,” and izdatelstvo, “publishing”

So said by the biggest liar in the House of Representatives.
As if that was even possible, he did it.
I guess one could condsider it a qualification for the Senate.

Only tyrants demand censorship. Our Founders said;

“I may disagree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it”.

Reminder, this is the same Dim party that every now and then puts a bill in the House to tax churches that don’t bow to the Dims’ hedonism cult.

Thank you for referencing that article ChicagoConservative27.

"Adam Schiff Demands Election ‘Misinformation’ Crackdown Through Social Media Censorship"


As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.

Democratic and Republican Trump supporters, let's not allow ourselves to be fooled by corrupt media for a third time like we were in 2020 and 2022 imo.

More specifically, please brace yourselves for MAJOR anti-Trump media propaganda on Election Day evening, complete with misleading, predominantly blue electoral vote maps and AI video on your screens showing taxpayer-paid Harris "supporters" shouting that she won the election.

Foreign collusion? FCC moves with 'unprecedented' speed to approve Soros' capture of 200+ radio stations with foreign cash just before election (9.24.24)

In fact, it took Bush a month of court proceedings before he was declared official winner of 2000 election.

"A month-long series of legal battles [emphasis added] led to the highly controversial 5–4 Supreme Court decision Bush v. Gore, which ended the recount. Bush won Florida by 537 votes, a margin of 0.009%."2000 United States presidential election (non-FR)

Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

The word “Misinformation” is mentioned in what law?

And they decide what is not true, so they can shut it down.

How convenient......

If he was serious about shutting down misinformation - and in his case, disinformation and malinformation - he would slap duct tape over his own mouth.

Okay, when is he going to subpoena CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the leftist propaganda machines? When are Maddow, Scarborough being interrogated?

Who is the arbiter of truth Mr. Schiff? The biased unnecessary ‘fact checkers’ at the debates?

What foolish and dangerous man in a position that calls for someone greater.

Ever notice that the left never demands that late night “comics” or SNL be censored. Yet both are rife with such “misinformation” in at least an equivalent amount if not much more.

Crackdown Through Social Media Censorship = No Free Speech

The Bolsheviks don’t bother to hid it any more they believe they made the it to the top of the power ladder.

Dangerous logic
