Hillary Clinton Says posting "misinformation" should be a crime.

I can't vote for Democrats anymore. They are just the party of dirty rats now.

What the heck happened ?

Everything they used to represent is gone and replaced with this kind of horrible shit.

 

And who, pray tell, is going to be the arbiter of what “misinformation” is?

 

The Greek Oil Tanker that had burned since 08/21 was towed to safety it was reported today in The N Y Times.

The tanker burned in the Red Sea for 27 days, a victim of a Houthi rocket attack.
The event was hardly covered in the U.S. Press.
Had it been an Exxon or BP. Aramco, the coverage would have been wall to wall. rembering the Exxon Valdez.

Misinformation is more complex than telling a fib.

Clinton was specifically referring to Russia turning to social media influencers in the U.S. to sway voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Speaking on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show on Monday, Clinton was asked whether she believed the U.S. government was taking the issue of illegal interference in the U.S. election seriously enough. The question came in the wake of Attorney General Merrick Garland accusing the state-controlled news outlet Russia Today of implementing "a nearly $10 million scheme to fund and direct a Tennessee-based company (Tenet Media, which platforms high-profile right-wing, pro-Trump commentators including Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, Tayler Hansen, Matt Christiansen and Lauren Southern) to publish and disseminate content deemed favorable to the Russian government.
"I think it's important to indict the Russians, just as Muller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016, but I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda. And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence..."
“Covert attempts to sow division and trick Americans into unwittingly consuming foreign propaganda represents attacks on our democracy,” said FBI Director Christopher A. Wray.

So, she was talking of American propagandists collaborating with hostile foreign governments to degrade and 'game' the American electoral system and surreptitiously get their own "Manchurian Candidate" elected in contravention of the will of the American electorate.

What's the matter? I thought that you disapproved of "fake news"?

 

a comedy / satire site: Babylon Bee is flagged for misinformation too.

Funny. The 51 secuity honchos who signed the Russian Disinfo letter on Hunters Laptop are now concerned about disinformation?

 

"More than 50 former senior intelligence officials have signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

Ex U.S. spies warned the Hunter Biden scandal had Russian fingerprints. They feel vindicated now.

 

Then start with the un American-" fox News ." And send the American haters--the Murdochs back to Aussie land.

 

Good question.

And everyone seems to forget the wild west anything goes free internet of the 1990s and even 2000s, now its like majorly censored by the way google search omits stuff.

 

"Clinton went on to say this about Americans who supposedly “parrot Kremlin propaganda”: “I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases, criminally charged, is something that would be a better deterrence.” Clinton did not specify or give examples of what kind of speech would equal “Kremlin propaganda.”

The remarks from the prominent Democrat echoed those made by Minnesota Governor and current Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz some months ago, when he declared during an MSNBC interview that “there’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.” Experts have noted that the Supreme Court’s clear precedent is that almost all speech, no matter how detestable or out of favor, is in fact protected by the First Amendment."

 

As much as Scam whines about "fake news", he enthusiastically cheerleads for the people who create "fake news".

A group of former Trump advisers and operatives have quietly helped build a pro-Russian website that frequently spreads debunked conspiracy theories about the war in Ukraine, election fraud and vaccines.

Yes the www stands for World Wide Web.

What part of don't believe everything you read online is so difficult ?

In other News you are a criminal in California for posting this.




"One of the laws in question, the Defending Democracy from Deepfake Deception Act, specifies that it does not apply to satire or parody content. It requires large online platforms to remove or label deceptive, digitally altered media during certain periods before or after an election."


These people are insane. All they did was encourage more people to make and post this stuff.

Ya sure they are going to police all these entertainment websites to make sure everything people post is to their liking.

I mean what the heck if you want 'real' news turn on a news channel, X and Facebook and this website its just entertainment.

 

Remembering how the expresion: " My Truth " was propagated in previous years.

 

Its red tape that enables the big players like the Googles and face-books to have an advantage over the competition.

The article fails to say how this law makes the world bette place in any way at all.

 

I don't know. Why do you keep relying on questionable conspiracy sources?

 

The idiom '' yelling fire in a crowded theater" means people could get hurt in a panic to escape from something that isn't true . What's the difference between that and the bullshit that Fox "news "and others put out every day all day when it obviously does serious damage to the entire country by encouraging those susceptible to such anti American bullshit ? How is it that such anti American assholes like the Murdochs can come over from Australia and continue to bring ruin upon this country with their continual bullshit without penalty?
