More freedom is better when it comes to not censoring "misinformation." Yes.
If you want to take the illiberal side of the debate, then just own it instead of doing this motte-and-bailey where you advocate for other, totally unrelated things like electrical codes or social mobility.
Huh. Alrighty then.Yes, I think the 1A should be abolished. And we should restrict what people are allowed to say and publish.

As would Kerry. Or are we supposed to believe the National Review and FOX News about Kerry and the first amendment. It protected Donald Trump when he called my immigrant father and grandparents poisonous snakes. I don’t like that, but don’t care that the First Amendment protects him. It should. Just as it does me when I call Trump a bigoted crook.As imperfect as it is, I'll keep the 1st Amendment.
That kind of thinking is absurd in what it assumes / chooses to overlook.
Hell, if we had both an intellectual and moral genius as philosopher-king, everything would be better. The problem is that when you establish a monarchy, there's no guarantee you always get such a person and in fact pretty much never do.
Same general thing goes for your Ministry of Truth. Just picture another Trump winning and having control over this ministry that you would have restricting speech and see where that ends...
Neither are good, but he former is an immediate threat. Government is not taking anyone "voice" away in the general sense...he's not talking about removing it, just tweaking it for harmful misinformation at a large scale.I would rather be lied to by someone than have my voice taken away by the Government or anyone else.
Yes, he did. My apologies. And I grabbed the wrong reply the first time.???????? The poster did !!
The Wuhan Origin was a conspiracy theory that should never had been allowed to be repeated.Neither are good, but he former is an immediate threat.

Your voice already has limits, you don't seem bothered by it. No one is threatening to "take your voice away".
Same way you can't say whatever you want here, same way you can't say whatever you want at a hospital, same way you can't say whatever you want about a sitting POTUS.
There are limits.
You enjoy the result of those limits every day, but here you seem to be suggesting adding some additional, presumably sensible limits to combat misinformation in the digital age, is somehow a seismic shift?
It's not.
Chomksy has been telling you about manufactured consent since the 80's. Human-caused climate change is a done deal, it's real, it's happening, and it was big oil/energy intentional misinformation, and the near unlimited spread of that misinformation on major platforms, that created this push back on it why? For profits.
That's bad. Same with anti-vaxx. Same with a lot of stuff obviously, in today's politics...
Well, well. Is that a surprise. John Kerry another liberal opportunists. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights mean nothing to liberals when they interfere with their agenda.
Except that is not at all what he said. When you have to twist his words to get him to say what you wish he had said so you had something to cry about, the issue is with you, not him.Come on. He was clearly implying that the First Amendment was an annoying nuisance for what he would like to do.
He's right but that's the price we pay.That pesky First Amendment -- always getting in the way -- time to get rid of it, says John Kerry (vote for us, and we'll do you that favor)

"What I wish John Kerry had said" is not a program in my brain that has consumed any power since...2004.Except that is not at all what he said. When you have to twist his words to get him to say what you wish he had said so you had something to cry about, the issue is with you, not him.
I would rather be lied to by someone than have my voice taken away by the Government or anyone else.
The idea that there's a critical mass of people just waiting to twist the words of John Freaking Kerry of all people.Except that is not at all what he said. When you have to twist his words to get him to say what you wish he had said so you had something to cry about, the issue is with you, not him.
