The New York Times says that Donald Trump and his allies have won the war to kill the Democrats’ and the Deep State’s efforts to control political speech online.<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, okay. I hope that’s true. Sometimes it doesn’t feel that way. Especially with people going to prison for writing memes that the Democrats don’t like.<\/p>\n

But let’s say it’s a start.<\/p>\n

“The arguments strike at the heart of an unsettled question in modern American political life: In a world of unlimited online communications, in which anyone can reach huge numbers of people with unverified and false information, where is the line between protecting democracy and trampling on the right to free speech?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apparently the NYT doesn’t understand that the 1st amendment isn’t just for their misinformation.\u00a0 Funny thing is the description, “reach huge numbers of people with unverified and false information”<\/strong> sounds like a Joe Biden press conference.<\/p>\n

“Even before the court rules, Mr. Trump\u2019s allies have succeeded in paralyzing the Biden administration and the network of researchers who monitor disinformation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Officials at the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department continue to monitor foreign disinformation, but the government has suspended virtually all cooperation with the social media platforms to address posts that originate in the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s just a chilling effect on all of this,\u201d said Nina Jankowicz, a researcher who in 2022 briefly served as the executive director of a short-lived D.H.S. advisory board on disinformation. \u201cNobody wants to be caught up in it.\u201d”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aww, what a shame! I guess we’re supposed to feel bad because Jankowicz’s Ministry of Truth got shut down.<\/p>\n

So good. If the effort to censure free speech about the Democrats has failed let’s raise a cheer. But it’s a little early to declare victory. After all the TikTok law is being rolled out to take over any internet business they don’t like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
