Hmmmm….
On the one hand you have liberals’ rejection of an objective reality.
And on the other hand you have liberals’ trying to keep us safe from bad information and untruths:
The new Federal Digital Platform Commission would … have a broad mandate to promote the public interest, with specific directives to protect consumers, promote competition, and assure the fairness and safety of algorithms on digital platforms, among other areas. To fulfill its mandate, the Commission would have the authority to promulgate rules, impose civil penalties, hold hearings, conduct investigations, and support research. It could also designate “systemically important digital platforms” subject to additional oversight, regulation, and merger review.
So what they want to protect us from is not straying from reality, but from their truths. We saw how disastrous that was with COVID, where the party line of the origin, need for masks, need for lockdowns, and the efficacy of the vaccinations could not be questioned.
This bill is being sponsored by Michael Bennet of Colorado. One of the reasons I left the state and moved to Texas.
