Also restricting videos that parody him.
The right believes in “free speech for me but not for thee”. Which isn’t compatible with any good faith attempt at a definition.
- userbinator 2y agoSo does the left.
- CobrastanJorji 2y agoNo, sir. Democrats have done lots of stuff that's not great for free speech. For example, when in charge of the government, they've worked together with obliging social media companies to remove what they considered foreign misinformation. But stuff like that is absolutely nothing compared to what's happening now, and it's disingenuous to suggest otherwise. I can't think of a single thing Democrats have done in the last hundred years that is even in the same league as the President's promise to use the "Take It Down" Act to silence criticism, and I'll bet you can't either.

It started almost 5 years ago now, but "misinformation" was widely used as a justification to silence discussion about the pandemic and the vaccines.
- stouset 2y agoYou misspelled “willful and blatant misinformation”. It is terrifying that you can’t see the material difference between uninformed fearmongering over vaccines and posting something unflattering about Donald Trump. Even then, please point me to the legislation that forbid these types of discussion. I’ll wait.
