By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people. (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

Tomorrow: Congress pushes and passes a bill that criminalizes "misinformation" (no clear definition, decided on Democrats whim)

This is one thing even the spineless GOPe won't support.

They know it will be used against them like how the J6 commission is. That commission even targeted normie GOPe Mike Lee ffs.

They're not gonna give the Dems a bludgeon to beat them with. As retarded as they are they'll see a "disinformation" law for what it is.

Supremes: 6-3, Constitution is silent on "misinformation", free speech only applies to regular information.

Coincidentally, I just got permabanned from another reddit sub for providing "misinformation" in the form of a link to a 2 year old news article reporting on the Azov NAZI's in Ukraine.

"Misinformation" is now just information that the left don't like.

True, but it is worse now than it's ever been.

They are trying as hard as they can to hold on to their false narrative but I think we're starting to see the signs that their narrative is starting to fail.

Whatever the authoritarian faction in your country calls itself, they've been trying for decades to get people to surrender their civil liberties. A lot of the "green" stuff is mostly just rampant authoritarianism with a veneer of shouting people down by saying they are killing the planet.

With Covid, a lot of authoritarians found something that, by and large, worked - and they are desperate to return to the heady days of 2020 when you could say "because quarantine" and people would just do as they were damn well told.

I doubt even a cuck like Romney would back that. He probably knows at some level that it would be turned against him if they're ever able to purge the based wing of the party.

DepaTru will be staffed by the soon to be unemployed Twatter censors.

Free speech beyond the letter of the law was never going to happen.

But will he allow it up to the letter of the law?

CAN I SAY 'NIGGER', ELON?

CAN. I. SAY. 'NIGGER'?

He is correct, he can offer the legal allowed free speech, is up to the people to make sure to keep the government in check. This is the best we can hope of any platform.

It's not just the best we can hope for, it's the ideal to strive for. That is the only workable definition of free speech: any speech as long as it's legal i.e. not libel/slander, incitement to violence, etc.

Nobody except some lunatics wanted the hate speech laws we got in Europe.

Facebook and Big Tech wanted those laws -> because they place requirements on tech platforms that only massive companies can obey.

So it kills their competitors
