Now that Trump has been re-elected, I'm warming up to a Disinformation Governance Board

I think that progressives were onto something regarding the censoring of speech dangerous to American Democracy. This dangerous rhetoric is known to emanate from sources such as Reddit, DU, MSNBC, CNN, The NYT, Washington Post, and many other such media outlets. Eliminating the false claims rampant on these platforms is in the best public interest of all Americans.

I look forward to seeing Trump's personal choice of appointee and arbiter of disinfomation and, most of all, to the implementation of new and wide-ranging safeguards eliminating what I know many of us agree is a new public health crisis for Americans.

You cannot call yourself a supporter of free speech if you only protect the speech that you like. You are only a supporter of free speech if you protect the speech that you hate.

Most people are smart enough to recognize BS.

We need a Disinformation Governance Board just to fight back against the Ministry of Truth (government-controlled media propaganda of 1984).

Would you be a supporter of free speech if you are willing to protect speech you don't like but aren't willing to protect free speech of those who don't agree with free speech?

Don't be like those dumb arse progs... Free speech is free speech, let them spew their drivel, it was the idiotic things they said that helped get Trump elected.

This isn't a tit for tat kind of subject. Free speech is the most important thing to a free country. It's the most important amendment, that's why it's the first one. Protecting free speech also means protecting their right to disagree with free speech

Sure, but if a tyrant would not protect your free speech then why would you protect a tyrants free speech? He doesn't want it because he doesn't believe in it.

Totally agree with your post though.

If it comes to that, then that's why we have the second amendment.

Everything should be done to strengthen free speech and make it an American value. Most despicable actions in the past few years were made possible by developing consent with false narratives.

No limits on speech on all social media

The truth will finally be set free

Watch how peoples true feelings are allowed to be posted instead of shut down by billionaire DNC pedos

That is exactly what we need. The face to face dialogue between people that has been in our lives since inception has now been seamlessly integrated with technology. Hence, that technology must allow and provide the same freedoms found in our historically protected free speech face to face dialogue.

Agreed. And it was short-term thinking on the Left’s part. They didn’t understand this part when another party rises to office and suddenly becomes the arbiter of “misinformation.”

Lol.... Trump should frick with the Marxist and release a statement:

" Following my campaign promise to lead the nation for all Americans and to show my willingness to reach across the aisle to our dellow Americans in the Democrat party.....
I am considering their ideas of a Disinformation Governance Board and their wish to expand SCOTUS".

LMAO... Dems would melt. It would be awesome.
