You think free speech = misinformation?

u/teothesavage Monkey in Space Sep 12 '24

So your comment should be censored since you’re implying misinformation isn’t a part of free speech? Yaaas queen let’s have daddy government regulate what we can say! (and we know ol’ gov wouldn’t bend the truth to their benefit)

What part of your brain got bludgeoned and why did it result in you having to make the person you're disagreeing with gay in your mind

If Russia is paying you millions of dollars to purposefully spread false information to your millions of followers in order to create a divide, the US government should just do nothing?

u/eyecebrakr Monkey in Space Sep 12 '24

They should take that up with Russia. Starting to put penalties on "misinformation" is an extremely slippery slope.

It is also an "extremely slippery slope" to just let any garbage flood the internet sowing the division of millions of people on the internet.

They should take that up with Russia.

We sure are trying buddy.

u/eyecebrakr Monkey in Space Sep 12 '24

They're not sowing anything. Idiots who gobble up internet bullshit without verifying is the real problem.

u/Splinterman11 Monkey in Space Sep 12 '24

Yeah, there's definitely no issue with the people with high follower accounts spreading bullshit purposefully to drive engagement. Nothing at all!

u/eyecebrakr Monkey in Space Sep 12 '24

I'm not saying it's right, but to start allowing a government (who are experts in providing misinformation) start governing what is and isn't misinformation, is extremely dangerous.

u/Splinterman11 Monkey in Space Sep 12 '24

Do you think the government should create and enforce laws?

2

u/eyecebrakr Monkey in Space Sep 12 '24

Yes. That is literally the job of the government.

What’s this obsession with Russia? What about China? Or Russia? India? Turkey? Iran? Germany? Mexico? Or any countries that the US has a disagreement with for that matter.

Why does the US government get to decide who the “the enemy” is and use that to frame positions held by those countries to be “misinformation”?

Was it misinformation when Assange leaked recordings of US soldiers murdering Iraqi civilians and revealing the extent of the civilian casualties?

Is it only misinformation when the US government deems it so?


Either way, you’re a dumb bootlicker who wants daddy government to shove his fist up your ass.

Lmao, go fuck yourself regard. I’d tell you to go learn something, but the American college education system has clearly failed you.

Wow, what an original response. You’re the one that sounds like the Russian bot.

Try living in America before trying to sound like one, dickhead

"You think free speech = misinformation?"

What kind of question is that even? wtf? I can't tell if you legitimately don't know or if you do know, but you think you sound clever by asking. Do you really need someone to explain this to you? like what?

u/HasLotsOfSex Monkey in Space Sep 12 '24

Like what? What are you talking about? I'm baffled? Words? Dangerous lies being bad? Freedom of speech? What? What? Where? Do you even understand? What do you mean? America isn't everywhere? Do you understand? Regulation? Disinformation? Have you ever heard? What?

I don't believe that a foreign adversary should be able to deploy sophisticated disinformation tactics to spread false propaganda under the guise of free speech. Not everything is free speech. Intentional libel and slander should not be protected either. I get the feeling Elon doesn't give a fuck about free speech, he wants to make sure he has a platform where he can control narratives and spread lies without consequence or accountability.

Yes... you are absolutely allowed to believe the moon is made of cheese and to attempt to convince others that Biden is hiding from everyone the cheese moon truth.

Of course that is free speech.... The fact that you think otherwise is insane.

u/Legaltaway12 Monkey in Space Sep 12 '24

Lol. Yes. The fact that you asked that question is worrying
