I gave you several examples of government overreach with regards to censorship. Instead of addressing it, you want to move the goal posts. If you have a problem with my post, pick a point and address it. If not, acquiesce.

Once you acknowledge that there is censorship, we will move onto your next point. Until then, I'm not chasing rabbits.

 

You do realize that Trump is soon to be the government. Are you suggesting he will have no business in correcting information put out there against him?

The government has every right to correct incorrect information. That is not the same as suppressing it. To say the government must stay silent in the face of incorrect information is absurd.

The opposite is also true . If Trump lies, rephrase, when Trump lies , the media has the right to put the facts our there. 


I’m somewhat surprised that you would support such an authoritarian anti-American proposal.

In the video Trump is very clear what the policy is. Both Trump and Vance have been railing about fact checkers because they make it more difficult for Trump and his supporters to lie and con the American people. He wants to be able to spread totally unchecked misinformation.

In the video he states that he plans to do everything under his power to prevent Federal employees from outing his and his supporters lies and silencing any media that does not support his state propaganda.

In the video he makes the twisted claim that this somehow promotes free speech.

Trump’s plan is the cornerstone of any authoritarian government. He’s just borrowing from the playbook of Putin, Orban, Xi, etc.

Everyone should listen to this sick video and hopefully recognize it for what it is. I wouldn't hold my breath though....
