|    Censor or else: Democratic lawmakers war    |

      From: johnny@invalid.net              By Jonathan Turley       Published December 18, 2022              With the restoration of free speech protections on Twitter, panic has       grown on the left that its control over social media could come to an       end. Now, some of the greatest advocates of censorship in Congress are       specifically warning Facebook not to follow Twitter in restoring free       speech to its platform.              In a chilling letter from Reps. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., André Carson,       D-Ind., Kathy Castor, D-Fla., and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.,       Facebook was given a not-so-subtle threat that reducing its infamous       censorship system will invite congressional action. The letter to       Meta’s president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, is written on       congressional stationery "as part of our ongoing oversight efforts."              With House Republicans pledging to investigate social media censorship       when they take control in January, these four Democratic members are       trying to force Facebook to "recommit" to censoring opposing views and       to make election censorship policies permanent. Otherwise, they       suggest, they may be forced to exercise oversight into any move by       Facebook to "alter or rollback certain misinformation policies."              https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/censor-or-else-democratic-lawmak       rs-warn-facebook-not-backslide-censorship              This is why The Democratic party should change its name. It is       definitely not democratic.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
