Americans need a strong policy regarding disinformation & hate speech

DNC Official said:
The First Amendment will not protect people who publish hate speech and dangerous disinformation on the Internet, because the federal government allows Internet Service Providers, Wireless Communication Service Providers, and social media platforms to enforce their own Terms of Service and Codes of Conduct.

Soon those who persist in spreading hate speech and dangerous disinformation will be reduced to muttering to each other in dark rooms in flyover country.

Then you are for abolition of the First Amendment. The First Amendment protects people who have abhorrent and different ideas and speech. So long as that speech doesn't encroach into actually advocating criminal action with intent and possibility of it occurring, they can say whatever they want.

Question... Do you think the government should have the equivalent of a "Ministry of Truth" like in Orwell's 1984? I ask because that's what your proposals on this topic read like to me.
 
DNC Official said:
Their bias-free and impartial membership includes such stalwart, non-partisan sources as-

  • Snopes
  • Factcheck.org
  • Politifact
  • The American Press Institute

All speech is not equal. When truth cannot drive out lies, we must add new guardrails.

This part of the above post alone is pretty convincing evidence that it's satire.

The First Amendment simply states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

It does not preclude the owners and operators of the Internet from determining what meets their standards, nor does it prohibit these owners and operators of the Internet from exercising lawful measures to prevent the proliferation of hate speech and disinformation.

Significant monitoring of hate groups is already authorized by the the Patriot Act, and hate speech and disinformation control are inevitable components of a mature and flourishing internet.

The federal government therefore does and should play a major role in these practices to ensure that the Internet is compatible with a society’s norms and values.

Then they do not get to enjoy the protections of section 230. See how easy that is. ;)

Do you believe that you have the RIGHT NOT to be offended?
 
The very purpose of hate speech is to dehumanize and stigmatize.

Every hate speech crime is a clear and present danger to lives and liberty.

Hate speech crimes are more than slurs on people of color, the poor, the LGBTQ community, etc, they are assaults on the very idea of global humanity.

Hate speech crimes should be punished with extra force.

Protections should include hate speech based on race, gender, immigration status, disability or sexual orientation. Republicans should stop standing in the way of this pro-civil rights, anti-crime legislation.

Those are only attacked by the right because the truth is not their friend. Rightys hate them but do not read them. They show mistakes and lies by Dems and Repubs. They like the dem part, but anything that shows right lies is not permissible.

If you need a fact-checker and can't run down your own info; You're in a bad way, and it's mostly Democrats that use them.

It's the epitome of intellectual laziness and goes against liberality.

Be your own fact-checker or STFU because you don't know shit from shineola if you don't do your own work.

The Patriot Act will be going away very soon!
 
This is tricky. free speech has never been absolute. Should Whitepower and Nazis have free speech when they are a threat to the country? It is like the Supremes outlawing porn without a definition. I know it when I see it does not suffice.
The Lions got 35 yards of offense in the first half. is that obscene?
Sorry, got distracted.
But we have a real threat being organized that can result in horrible acts. In the interest of free speech, can we allow that to continue?

Intelligent people understand that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are going to preside over a historic Blue Tsunami on November 3rd, which will give the Democratic Party the mandate it needs to make your falsehoods disappear.
