A federal judge yesterday ordered the Biden administration to halt a wide range of communications with social media companies, siding with Missouri and Louisiana in a lawsuit that alleges Biden and his administration violated the First Amendment by colluding with social networks “to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content.”

    There was a time I would believe you whole heartedly.

    I despise book bans.

    I see people try to censor other people’s very existence.

    I hate China’s authoritarian laws.

    I wish to strive to allow as much free speech and liberty reasonably possible.

    Then COVID happened. Misinformation, narrative pushing, and just plain lying. My grandma died from the virus in a hospital not consistently wearing masks or even checking for it in the first place. A hospital wear fox news plays abound and nurses proudly talk about their “knowing” of what actually is happening.

    I have to ask myself, is this worth it?

    I don’t think so. A line must be drawn somewhere.

      This is bullshit. They were calling certain things misinformation before they themselves knew. What gives them authority to do this and who actually decides what is true? At the time many scientists, including the CDC director (who was forcibly sidelined after sharing his position), were saying we should investigate the lab leak theory, and they were all silenced as a result. Scientists were saying that they wouldn’t have suggested quarantine (including the UKs top health advisor) as the understaffed medical/health facilities would cause more death than quarantines would save, they were saying that masks had little to no impact on CORONA viruses in the past and peer-reviewed articles suggesting this were literally removed from websites; the list goes on. Meanwhile the MSM was literally spreading misinformation like the Ivermectin story or the vaccine stopping spread story. You really have to trust someone quite a bit to just go along with this while all your freedoms are diminishing.

        That’s a whole lot of claims with little to no sources backing them up.

          Not even enough info to know who “they” or “them” are when referenced in their comment.

            If you’d look at the article in the OP you’d see I’m talking about the Whitehouse via the FBI.

          Which ones specifically? These are all fairly well known at this point. Let me ask, if I provide them, do you think it would influence you in any way?

            All of them. If it’s the truth I will see it.

            But be warned. No tabloid or backwater new articles. Actual studies and statements.

              I’ll do that once I get to a computer. I forsee my effort being for nothing though.

                  This comment was unnecessary. There’s no need to be disrespectful, I’ll be home in about 10 hours.

                    If you keep wasting everyone’s time prepare for more of it.
