Deflections. What about Biden this or that? Elon musk? What if Twump set up a disinformation desk? Meh. They’d try going after The View or Bill Maher and collapse under their own ridiculousness a month later, like his ‘election integrity’ investigation that went nowhere. Whatever.
Back in the real world, it is well known Russian propaganda (among other state actors) targets the US media, political discourse and electoral campaigns. It’s an operation run by military intelligence. Setting up a desk to monitor it more closely is a prudent move for the intel community.
How id it a deflection to question the competence of the Biden team in discerning Russian disinformation?
Why isn't existing intelligence services and operations sufficient to do the job?
The Left would've been shitting bricks for weeks.Now if Trump's administration had started this....................
Interesting that you instantly see this as a way to get the right. Very telling.I know it sounds scary, but that's what the right gets for lying like a rug for five years.
There's nothing funny about it. And frankly, I can't believe you're that ignorant not to understand the inherent dangers with an efficient, well-run government.
It's one of the primary reasons, if not THE primary reason we have checks and balances built into our system of governance. Joking about not needing them or taking them away isn't funny at all.
The lies and propaganda being spread by the right really concerns me. I know it sounds like 1984, or Russia or China.Interesting that you instantly see this as a way to get the right. Very telling.
This is the most disturbing thing I have heard for some time. 1984
I don't know that we need it. You could be right.Abolish DHS.... GW's grand experiment in big government while claiming to be for small government has failed...
It was created during the Trump admin, and it's designed to prevent misinformation from foreign sources.No, that's not the Babylon Bee, she really wrote that the purpose of her new Ministry of Truth is to protect free speech.
The lies of the left being spread are real. The example of the Steele dossier for example. Real lies.The lies and propaganda being spread by the right really concerns me. I know it sounds like 1984, or Russia or China.
I want them to censor actual lies, yes. It's a shame we are so free to spread lies. Someone has to stop it. Fact checking doesn't work; people have been brainwashed to not believe the truth under their noses. So, of course I wish it hadn't come to this, but we've taken free speech too far and it's undermining faith in everything we hold dear as Americans.The lies of the left being spread are real. The example of the Steele dossier for example. Real lies.
I certainly do not want some government censoring agency. Do you really want this? It does not sound like you do.
Wow, you really had to scrape the bottom of the internet to find those obscure sites.Really?

Free speech is exactly what we need. You believe what you believe. I believe what I believe. Do you want to give me the authority to decide your opinion needs to be censored?I want them to censor actual lies, yes. It's a shame we are so free to spread lies. Someone has to stop it.

We are awash in propaganda.
Why do you want the lies to stay up?I have no problem with them pointing out the lies on the internet as long as they take no action to remove them, UNLESS, they can show they come directly from Russian bots.
Why do you want the lies to stay up?Why do you want the lies to stay up?
The Dept. is NOT censoring opinions. Do you not know the difference?Free speech is exactly what we need. You believe what you believe. I believe what I believe. Do you want to give me the authority to decide your opinion needs to be censored?
?Why do you want the lies to stay up?
Yes they most certainly will be attempting to censor opinion.The Dept. is NOT censoring opinions. Do you not know the difference?
Only if you choose to believe lies that have been proven untrue.Yes they most certainly will be attempting to censor opinion.
The left (and you) are delusional about what is a lie. You want stuff removed that YOU believe is a lie. Do you not see the other side at all? I fervently believe the left has spouted all kinds of terrible lies for years. Do you want what I believe are lies removed? Do you want the left lies (that you say are not lies) to remain up?
Proven how? You decide they are proven lies? This board made up of Biden cronies that you agree with decides? How about a board of Trump cronies deciding the lefty lies? Can you see the other side of this 1984 coin or not?Only if you choose to believe lies that have been proven untrue.
Not anymore. We are going from a constitutional republic to a democracy. The majority will tell us what we can believe or say. I guess Joseph Goebbels will be heading up this department and the Gestapo I mean Home land Security will be enforcing it. What is next? Travel papers? Oh wait we already implemented those.Protect acceptable speech, official truth, privacy of the wealthy and powerful, and those "liberties" government regulations will allow?
That is not Free Speech! Unlike Canada and other places where speech can be regulated in fact, our Constitution protects us from such regulatory controls, with a few rare exceptions per SCOTUS legal precedent.
That ship sailed a long time ago, dude.Not anymore. We are going from a constitutional republic to a democracy. The majority will tell us what we can believe or say. I guess Joseph Goebbels will be heading up this department and the Gestapo I mean Home land Security will be enforcing it. What is next? Travel papers? Oh wait we already implemented those.
