Psaki reveals White House (government) is consulting with Facebook to 'flag misinformation'

[SassyIrishLass]

Fck the White House, Facebook and Psaki.

Some shady shit going on here

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

you should familiarize yourself with exceptions to free speech; with attention to the section "false statements of fact".

You should familiarize yourself with "prior restraint." The only time "false statements of fact" come into play is in defamation cases.

for example, instructions on bomb making arent protected.

Yes they are.

Misinformation on covid could cause equivalent harm.

Still protected.

however, i think they are only labelling false statements as such, rather than removing them.

You're okay with GOVERNMENT commentary on your free speech?

What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

To be fair...

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The government has made no such law. However I do believe that it has violated the spirit in which the Amendment was made.

Should this admonition apply to everyone? I mean, if I have a website, and I agree with the current government that Trumpsters are miscreants, beneath contempt, and ban them from my site - is that a violation of the "spirit" of the First Amendment, of freedom of speech? Or is it actually an expression of freedom of speech? Should I be prohibited from "censoring" them?

Or let's flip around. I'm adamantly anti-socialist. If I censor pro-socialist comments on my website, is that a violation of the First? Or is it a valid expression of my values?

You have left out a very important fact here, dblack

If the White House calls you up and says "hey, we want you to censor any anti-socialist stuff on your site" and you weren't doing it before, now what?

You can make all the excuses in the world you want, but you know goddamn well that this is fascist horse shit.

Let's flip it around on you. Government wants socialism. They want to eliminate any anti-socialism statements or comments. They pressure Facebook to kick you the fuck off for saying anything about free speech on any platform not just Facebook. They call up USMB, and tell them, "kick all everybody off who is anti-socialist are we gonna find a reason to fuck you up.". Or, "you don't get all this funding we have sitting around if you don't do it."

Sure - that's dead wrong. If there are threats and coercion going on, and you have evidence of that - let's nail them. But I don't honestly think that's what's going on.

What you pussies are too cowardly to face is that people are fed up with Trumpster dumbfuckery. And a lot of those people run businesses, so they are "colluding" to give you the boot. Too bad. Maybe if you weren't such ignorant jackasses it wouldn't have happened.

The dumbfuckery is going on right now you stupid ass.

When a company (i.e. Twitter, etc.) restricts speech on its forums, that's one thing, but when the government "tells" companies to restrict speech they don't like, that is a clear violation of the Constitution's First Amendment. This is a clear matter for the Supreme Court to address when it goes up the judicial chain.

Can you produce any evidence of the government "telling" companies to restrict speech they don't like?

Critics roundly condemned the White House after Press Secretary Jen Psaki revealed the Biden administration is working with Facebook to flag "problematic" posts that "spread disinformation" on COVID-19.

On Thursday, Psaki was asked a question regarding the Biden administration’s request for tech companies to be more "aggressive" when policing what they referred to as "misinformation." Psaki revealed that the White House is "in regular touch with social media platforms" to handle it.

Bitch, what the fuck do you think is happening if the WH Press Sec ADMITS they are telling FB what to "flag"?

We can ASSUME that's what they are doing.

 

[MinTrut]

Government is censoring free speech.

Explain how.

Government cannot censor free speech, either directly or by means of an agent (Facebook).

Do I need to explain more?

You're arguing with the fascist Democrat hivemind.

You'd have better luck getting Hitler to be nice to the Jews.

Democrats: Everything they claim to hate & fear.

Yep.

How is that not Heinrich Himmler and the fucking SS?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

I was surprised to hear that admission since it is the foundation of the Trump class action lawsuit.

Nope. Working together for a common purpose does not transform them into a state actor.

What about the authoritarians who want to force Facebook to use their property in a manner they don’t like?

Do you do it on your own or in coordination with the government? IOW, do you get a call from your handler with the week's instructions?

That is the very definition of state action, you cocksucking dumbfuck.

 

[colfax_m]

The state is not controlling Facebook. Facebook is doing it voluntarily.

That does not make Facebook a state actor.
