As Elizabeth Nolan Brown writes for Reason, “What both the right and left attacks on the provision share is a willingness to use whatever excuses resonate—saving children, stopping bias, preventing terrorism, misogyny, and religious intolerance—to ensure more centralized control of online speech. They may couch these in partisan terms that play well with their respective bases, but their aim is essentially the same.”
In other words, the government will use any excuse to suppress dissent and control the narrative.
We, here at SN knew this, didn’t we?
It seems that the new Trump administration is moving towards removing all state barriers to the exercise of the First Amendment’s free speech and religion clauses. We are more ad more able to speak our minds, unless those dastardly Europeans can force their totalitarian isht off on us, too, by trying to enforce their laws worldwide through forcing the companies to comply. Trump should break this bullisht the same way he broke the Colombian’s refusal to repatriate their problem people.
Control the speech, control the minds. Soon there will only be Newspeak.DoublePlusUnGood!!!
