[AMart]

Good job Donk voters indoctrinated idiots.

Roughly half of U.S. adults (48%) now say the government should take steps to restrict false information online, even if it means losing some freedom to access and publish content. That is up from 39% in 2018. https://pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/08/18/more-americans-now-say-government-should-take-steps-to-restrict-false-information-online-than-in-2018/

they are just an extension of the democrat party pushing the lib agenda

they even employ their own in-house trained seals for their “random” polls

To examine Americans’ attitudes toward restricting false information online, Pew Research Center surveyed 11,178 U.S. adults from July 26 to Aug. 8, 2021.

Everyone who completed the survey is a member of the Center’s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses.

America is done. This current generation has lost all understanding of the role of Godvernment amd our FREEDOMS

Wouldn't the government be the first victim? Nobody puts out more false information than they do.

So almost half the people justifies doing away with the cornerstone of the Bill of Rights? No wonder we are fucked as a nation.

 

[Flash]

Your "false" info is my truth.

 

[Rogue AI]

Your "false" info is my truth.

So you liked your plan and got to keep it?

Library Nazi’s have smokelessly burned many books so that cyberspace will be the prisoner’s only choice. Cyberspace information is now becoming more for sale with each passing day, including medical knowledge. The dem-controlled media as well as the world media deliberately deceived the prisoners about variants of the commie virus. The current POSPOTUS is not your friend. His catholic sidekick, Fau Chi, is not your friend, either.

What exactly is false information? Who determines it? Who are the false information police? Hell, when it comes to Covid the scientists and the experts can't even agree on things so what would be false? If WHO says that booster shots should not be given until the rest of the world gets their vaccines, is that false information? Or, is the false information Biden and the CDC recommending booster shots, against what the WHO says?

It seems the education reforms that Obama put in place Nationally are working.

How much resistance to this did the old Guard of McCain, Romney and others put up at the time? It seems in the last number of years certain policies were just accepted by both sides without anyone really concerned about their long term impact.

 

[pknopp]

It's impossible for the government to do so because so often it's the government disseminating the false info.

 

[Moonglow]

The Supreme Court is wanting to revisit the freedom of the press issue because they claim the misinformation, lies and conspiracy theories are out of control.

What education reforms were these?

Where do we find this information of the court wanting to do this?

I would get you a link but I am on my phone at the moment.

And judging by what we see posted here, they have a good reason to do so.

An example is the likely fact that the commie virus did not originate in a bat, but in a pig from North America. Once following this trajectory, POSPOTUS’s Maryland comes into view which bat studies there are just as interesting as those of Mojiang mine, Yunnan. The way to democratic socialist fascism is with the control of information, because having not accepted pigs as most ancient ancestor of C-19, everything that follows may make perfectly good sense.

I wonder how many of those were white males?

I'm sure they do, and I bet you don't even understand why.

It's because the false information has become so prevalent that it's doing more damage than restrictions on our freedoms would.

That's because some dirty, underhanded, bastards are abusing our freedoms to push fake news and crazy conspiracy theories.

And you know who you are.
