I clicked thru the video and listened to him. While I don't thikn what he said is intelligent at all, at best, what he said is "you have no right to spread misinformation".

That's different from calling for somebody to be censored. And even if he's technically incorrect to say that people don't have the right to spread misinformation, there certainly are limits on the first amendment that could cover this situation. For example, if Rogan said something super-duper irresponsible, like "Everybody should immediately inject pure bleach into their bloodstream. It will cure covid", that is in fairly strong grounds for the first amendment not applying/being restricted in this case.

He also said "We use the POWER that we have to limit the spread of that misinformation." These are extremely hostile and dangerous words from a US Official, no?

But the thing is, Rogan did not say something super irresponsible like you are inventing and instead has actually has hosted medical and world renowned vaccine experts that had very intelligent things to say, backed with data, fact and logic. So why are you saying things or inventing scenarios that are completely false?

Just a reminder for you...

"Censorship and Propaganda was another important factor to the success for Hitler's dictatorship. Everything that was going to get in touch with the public, including Radios, the Press, the lessons they teach at school, the art works people paint, the movies they play at cinemas all had to be censored first before audiences could watch it."

No, those aren't hostile and dangerous words. You're just getting overexcited.

The scenario I explained is one in which a government may legitimately censor somebody because it exceeds the normal restraints of First Amendment. It's pretty clear that Rogan didn't say that. You may note in everything I'm saying, I'm not supporting censoring Rogan. If the US government wants to oppose his message, clearly they should just spend time on talk shows saying the message they want the public to hear (like they do). I do think Rogan was irresponsible with ivermectin, but it does not reach the point where the government could legitimately censor him.

You don't need you to keep reminding of quotes about hitler. It doesn't somehow make your argument stronger to explain how the Nazis came to be.

Again the problem to me is he is clearly pointing and publicly asking "Big Tech" to censor more, "deplatform" more...take more control of "right" speech vs "wrong" speech. The fact that even a government official calls it "Big Tech"; he publicly calling this current "curation" of companies a M0n0poly? I thought monopolies are ill…3gal?

And your point even with Ivermectin, a treatment option that not only costs pennies a dose (no profit in that for "Big Pharma" eh?)...but what exactly was the preferred treatment guidelines for Covid aside from taking a "kind of effective", "doesn't stop the spread", "Costed global tax payers b1ll1i0nz", "can still go to the hospital" vaccines? Was it because B1G Ph4rma didn't make their $xxx...$xxxx "treatment pill" yet?

And what exactly was irresponsible with Ivermectin? Did you have a problem with Monoclonal anti-bodies as well? You do realize this had interesting data and science coming out of Japan, India and other countries who deployed and utilized these drug trials? Isn't that how global science and "Open Science" should work? Smart scientists putting out shared research papers, working together to collaborate on new treatments, try different things, new studies and truly show smart human effectiveness and collaboration? Instead this has been ANYTHING such that, rather a few companies that put out a never-ending number of vaccine doses x billions of people times x dollars…? Also there can be no other effective treatments or ideas otherwise...if not, you must be CENSORED by "BIG TECH" for calling out "BIG PHARMA".

Come on now. This doesn't seem like a government or government official of "We the people"; more like, "Do what we say or else you should be censored". Maybe it is I, disillusioned? I thought it was Thomas Jefferson who said "When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty" - but I believe some folks took his monument down about a year ago in some protests? Hmm, how ironic? I guess my idea of the United States of America was the people here were tired of some Kings sh1t and an Authoritarian government telling them what the darn to do, so they formed a Constitutional Republic which stated every man is a King in this land and no one can tell them what to do? Is that not the law, Common Law I believe? Regardless, I always viewed "America" as way more badass than letting some handful of "Big Tech" and "Big Pharma" corporate PAX backed politicians and government tell you what to say or do.

I think at the very core root, you have a different view and vision of the government than I do. I personally don’t want any person or any government telling me what to do, what I should think, how I should think, and what is “right” speak or “wrong speak. And I prefer to see all the data and all the science, but somehow this has been blocked for 75 years? What?! Oh. Am I not allowed to write that? Is that not true?
