If you knowingly lie and get sued then a judge will decide if you're guilty of anything, which is very different than having the government decide beforehand what you can and what you can't say.
- verdverm 3y agoYes, people are talking about expanding what is covered by the law. Right now politicians and media outlets are mostly free to lie without repercussion. Twitter, being a media organization, is knowingly spreading and promoting false information. Elon has on several occasions done this himself and removed community notes correcting him. That later part is more concerning to me. A notable example of late was his retweet of the false info about Arizona voter registration. Fortunately, Maricopa country has a great county recorder who shares the actual data: https://twitter.com/stephen_richer https://twitter.com/stephen_richer Stephen's correction of Elon: https://twitter.com/stephen_richer/status/1775644775829655596 https://twitter.com/stephen_richer/status/177564477582965559...

Before the 2022 elections, these same judges targeting Elon Musk censored a documentary before it was ever published. Censorship equals dictatorship. It's that simple. Brazil is not a democracy. I want the whole world to know that.
