48% of U.S. say govt should restrict false info even if it means losing freedoms

[Crepitus]

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

No, it's not.

 

[Gabe Lackmann]

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

Oh Lawds yes suh! Peepuh be spoutin off awwful crazy like an what not mmmhmm.

Somebody gon get hurt suh...lawds yes! Gots ta shut deez heeyuh folks up!

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

60% white and dropping...35 years ago it was 90% white. You water down the culture you water down the quality of it.

This makes my point. Thank you.

Your point being?

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?

Wow. You"ve got it bad.
Can You really not distinguish between opinions and facts?

The problem with the term “conspiracy” is that this commie virus has never before had so many human hosts to choose from, so naturally, there will arise much confusion. The commie virus trumps the U.S. Constitution, because no one knows if they are infecting a passerby nor the vaccine status of that passerby. Recall when pigs were kept outdoors instead of these days, when they are kept in buildings.

Oh look! Racism!

Oh look! Racism!

I see it as a two part post. In the first part, I lampoon the board's black supremist. In the second, I provide a couple statistics. So it's a combo of comedy, and knowledge.

Now your turn.

Look...a whiney dick tucker!

 

[Crepitus]

Your point being?

Read my post.

When did America get stupid? For we old timers, vaccines were a blessing and in the military you were shot in both arms, no one whined then. But regarding the survey, false info is killing people today so the question is a hard one. Examples below.

Covid-19 Lessons

The lesson here is the republican party and their followers are a danger both to democracy and to the health and safety of the people. The effort starting largely by Reagan (and before) to destroy government shows today. South Korea is ahead of us in virus testing as is China. Learn this lesson...

So much disinformation thought I'd share this.

"The point is adjuvants serve an important and critical purpose in vaccines. But is the use of aluminum safe? In fact, aluminum is one of the most common elements in the Earth’s crust and is present in almost all our food. We are all eating aluminum every day. Infants are exposed to more aluminum in breast milk or formula than they are from vaccines, but either way these are tiny doses that don’t have any major health effect."

Should We Worry About Metals in Vaccines?

This article was first published in The Montreal Gazette. Last time, we explored a specific concern voiced by a reader — namely, why we vaccinate babies for adult diseases like Hepatitis B. This week, we’ll look at another vaccine question. Why are there metals in vaccines? You will no doubt...

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.

Like CRT and Black Lies Matter?

Liberals are not qualified to decide what is fake mews and what isnt

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/

Well, I think we have ample proof, at this point, that 48%+ of voters are complete fucking morons.

 

[Crepitus]

Like CRT and Black Lies Matter?

What's false about those things?

IM talking about "millions of people dying from the vaccine", "covid is a hoax", and "stop the steal". All the actual bullshit you kids are pushing.

BTW, calling CRT and BLM false information is in itself false information.

So it would seem. Ranked choice voting will help, but I fear it's too little, too late.

 

[wamose]

Democrats are wrong 90% of the time and we're making them the arbiters of truth? That's dumber than defunding the police.

 

[dblack]

The really worrisome thing about this is that both the left and the right agree. Both are eager to have government horn in on social media on their behalf. And when Ds and Rs agree, bend over.

 

[Mac-7]

I knew you wouldn't understand.

No I get it

you want the media to report the truth

and for career pinheads in government to decide what the truth is

I want both sides to be heard on social media

No, you don't get it at all.

For starters I've not supported this idea, I've tried to explain why people are considering it.

You still don't get.

And that's ok, I didn't expect you to. Go back to posting spittle-spraying rants and don't worry about it.
