White House
Press Secretary Jen Psaki recently remarked that if someone is banned from one
social media platform, they should be banned from all
other platforms as well. That’s an, um, interesting take. The Orange
Lady said, “You shouldn’t be banned from one platform and not others for providing
misinformation.” Yes, and if someone is kicked out of one restaurant,
especially for, say, “ordering the wrong menu items,” they should be kicked out
of every restaurant. Is everyone in this administration crazy? (Don’t
attempt to answer that, it was a purely rhetorical question.)
Incredibly,
that was neither the dumbest nor the scariest quote she uttered during that
press briefing. She also admitted that the administration is “flagging
problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation,” and added that
platforms like Facebook should “measure and publicly share the impact of
misinformation on their platform” while creating “robust enforcement
strategies.” When government and large private entities come together to
suppress information, it’s called fascism. And “robust enforcement strategies?”
Such as total disregard for the First Amendment and freedom of speech? Canceling
those who said something “problematic?” Prison? The death penalty?
Keep in mind, “problematic”
means information progressives don’t want to get out. “Disinformation” and “misinformation”
are their euphemisms for the truth.
