Are Trump protests finished?

[Mr. Dazzle]

Its already illegal to knowingly publish false information in papers and on TV etc. Its also illegal to encite illegal or violent behaviour on TV etc. Why do you think social media should be different?

It was also Trump himself who was the biggest critic of 230, I.e. the law which means social media is not responsible for the content of posts.

So which is it?

Indeed but who decides what is true and what is false?

Was Trump actively working with the Russians to influence the election?
Is the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation?
Where does the Biden mafia get all its millions? Hunter has suddenly become a highly sought after and fantastically well paid artist. His err, art, is selling for millions. Who is buying it has been made a state secret by, guess who…

Then there is other newsworthy information that simply isn’t broadcast, don’t know if it’s censored (don’t want to find out!) but the US military are secretly (i.e. under cover of darkness and undeclared) redistributing illegal aliens throughout the US. A million so far apparently!

Meh. It’s all gone horribly wrong, the system is too corrupt and too easy to manipulate via social media and while I couldn’t care less about the US, it’s generally 6months before we start to see the same thing over here.

The government have been deciding what is and isn't allowed in public fora for centuries. First in print media, then on the radio and then on TV. All media in fact, so one could equally argue social media is overdue.

No you are confusing the law of the land as enforced by the judicial system with the administration of the government of the day.

It should be obvious by now that the entire social media, mainstream (aka legacy) media and big tech were always left wing biased. Now the administration are admitting to controlling and manipulating these “independent” entities quite openly. That is fantastically dangerous and not merely “more of the same”. I am somewhat aghast that any sensible person could condone partisan governmental control of free speech.

That’s what they do in Russia, China and North Korea. State control of the media.

Yeah, the Sun, Daily Mail, Sky news, et al, all well known socialist rags.
