| Whether you agree with it or not, the left broadly labels things it disagrees with as "racist" "bigoted", or anything "phobic". Anyone or anything attached with one of those labels, regardless of its veracity, is off limits in the public sphere. Recent attempts to regulate "misinformation", "disinformation", and the new "malinformation" are all mechanisms for censorship as well. In the United States, the Disinformation Governance Board was created by the lefty government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation_Governance_Boar... Ironically, during a hearing on censorship, RFK Junior was set to testify. The Democrat senator from Florida moved to stop the session and censor his testimony citing something else he had previously said that the senator did not like. https://thehill.com/policy/technology/4108865-rfk-jr-hearing... >Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) made a motion to move the committee into executive session — closing the hearing to the public — over concerns about Kennedy’s recent statement on COVID-19. i.e. in a hearing specifically on censorship, the Democrat senator moved to censor Kennedy's testimony. I am not saying that I agree with what Kennedy said, but this is an obvious attempt at censorship. The lefty government in Europe just started enforcing the DSA, and to quote Wikipedia: >Swedish MEP Jessica Stegrud argued that the DSA's focus on preventing the spread of disinformation and "harmful content" would undermine freedom of speech.[58] As evidenced by the Twitter Files, before Musk took over the left was censoring right leaning accounts heavily, corresponding directly with US federal agencies and taking orders to "investigate" specific accounts that were critical of lefty politicians. |
