Amy Klobuchar doubles down on suppressing your speech

Twitter files reveal that the government tried to suppress speech on Twitter, starting with Hunter Biden’s laptop and ending with COVID. Elon Musk, Twitter’s head, has also been notified. announced we’re going to be seeing the “Fauci Files” This week, more information will be available.

The Democrats and liberal media had previously tried to sell us on the fiction that there wasn’t any suppression of speech going on, Or that if it was happening, the government wasn’t involved in it and there weren’t concerning constitutional questions being implicated.

But now, we’re suddenly seeing prominent Democrats coming out and saying flat out that they should start controlling speech — for our own good, of course, because of all that horrible, evil “misinformation” or “hate speech.”

It was more alarming than it seems. as I wrote last week, that a member of Congress for 35 years and a senator since 2007 Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), didn’t seem to have any understanding of the Constitution. He called on the government to take down social media. “hate speech” In complete contradiction with the First Amendment.

Cardin said that they should be more than just being more. “aggressive” He was not only going after speech but also pointed out what Europe had done as an example to follow. That’s crazy since various countries in Europe have resorted to punishing people now for speech that someone finds offensive. It’s the path we never want to go down, but that’s where the Democrats want us to go.

It’s not just Cardin. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D–MN) was also on that dangerous road when she decided to go on “Meet the Press” Sunday. She was speaking on Section 230 of Communications Decency Act. “misinformation.”

“You can amend it and focus on certain kinds of speech misinformation, disinformation,” Klobuchar asserted. “And all you’re saying is, ‘We know people are going to put stuff on your alleged town square,’ which has become really a communications company. Your network, other news organizations, have limits in place and standards. And our argument’s going to be: If you start making money off of it, if you amplify it, that’s a whole different thing. Your angry emojis and all these things you’re doing, to make money.”

So let’s break that down. In case it wasn’t clear who she was referencing there, it’s Elon Musk, who called Twitter a “town square” which she’s mocking. Why suddenly do they want action when they didn’t want action before? They don’t have control over Twitter. She’s also noting if Musk himself amplifies something that she thinks they have a right to go after all of Twitter to suppress “misinformation” And “disinformation.” Who is allowed to determine what it is? They do, indeed. She wanted to suppress it. “certain kinds” The First Amendment protects speech.

If they want to stop misinformation, maybe the Democrats should start with themselves because they’re some of the biggest purveyors of misinformation out there.

Klobuchar also supported the idea of going after social media firms “hefty lawsuits” To force them to obey.

This is how insane it can get. blamed the attack on Paul Pelosi, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, and the Capitol riot on social media.

And they’ve got to be liable when you’ve got situations where literally deranged people are believing their stuff, and going in, and taking a hammer, and bludgeoning the husband of the speaker of the House, or hundreds of thousands of blog posts that are allowed to go through with maps of the Capitol that they use to create an insurrection. At some point, when they can’t control their own platforms while they’re making billions of dollars from the American people, and over, as you point out, two thirds of Americans say it’s hurting our democracy, come on, Congress. This is not the time to hide behind it. Get on with your work.

That sounds like there’s some misinformation in there, including the “hundreds of thousands of blog posts.” No, I’m thinking two-thirds of Americans are not calling for violations of the First Amendment. And did she just say that they’re going to hold platforms responsible for what a crazy person does? That’s what she’s saying. They’ll use anything to go after speech they want to control. What about all the Democratic misinformation? Like Russia collusion and countless other lies. Talk about a slippery slope — they’re greasing it now, so we slip all the way down the tyranny hill.
