Make no mistake, if you weren’t already convinced of it, the end game of the NYT narrative here is censorship. Doesn’t matter if it’s real people expressing real views anymore (goal posts notably move from ‘fake’ entities and troll farms) if it’s feasible you are within several degrees of Putin you are culpable in defrauding the United States if US citizens are unwittingly exposed to your message.
Of course, the NYT and others continue to oppose stronger libel laws even amidst this national crisis.
- throwaway5752 8y agoYou are outsmarting yourself and creating a false dichotomy. There are people that want to censor you, and there are people that want to influence you. It's incredibly easy believe both are true and oppose both.
- Latteland 8y agoBack in reality, I don't believe the NYT wants censorship of everyone else except them. Why is that the end game? It's actually true that foreign governments placed misleading advertisements to try to impact the US political process, and they have actually tested different approaches. The NYT reporting on likely similar practices is not a call to censor everyone but the NYT. Can you explain how you came to this conclusion?
