New bill to control online speech. Digital Platform Commission Act of 2022

a reply to: shooterbrody

Congress is constantly writing more and more "bills" that directly go against the Constitution that they swore to uphold.

Any other time, this would be treason.

Then it sounds like past time for a redressing.

Now for the $50,000 question. How do "We the People" go about that? The whole writing your congress critter does nothing and if one tries to confront them directly nowadays your likely to get arrested for insurrection.

people taking action against the misuse of the freedom of speech.

"misuse of the freedom of speech"

Think about that for a minute.

...and by the way, who gets to decide what is correct speech ?

Don't be insulting. It's not stupid to see nobody is censoring anything at this point in time. Nothing has changed, only people taking action against the misuse of the freedom of speech.

You conveniently forgot about all those gov agencies and agents censoring Twitter and other SM 🤩

And you forget to discuss the long standing practice of MSM to "censor by omission" and "emphasize by commission" 🤩

This new gov "Bill" is nothing more than a "step 1" towards stronger pinpoint censoring for 100% political reasons.

This is something straight from Nazi-Soviet-Fascist-Francoist leftists authoritarian policies ☠️

Actually The USSR started with full blown censorship with death penalties for violating their propaganda and authoritarianism 😁

At this point in time? This bill will assuredly be manipulated to the extreme, just like the commerce clause of the constitution has been.

(2) adopt, where relevant and practical, a risk management regulatory approach that prioritizes anticipating, limiting, and balancing against other interests the broad economic, societal, and political risks of harm posed by the activities and operations of a personor class of persons.

They will force free speech underground, into the dark web.

The government mouthpiece keeps getting cought spouting propaganda so people won't watch

Solution make them watch

I'm starting to wonder if China taking over the world is such a bad thing if this is the alternative

It's probably too late.

Too many leftists in both political parties and too many idiots who could care less about the Constitution supporting them.

Another agency that needs breaking up is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

They explained that with the all encompassing 'causing demonstratable harm'. This is not new, just that they will enforce it for online platforms is new.

Have you heard of Count Dankula / Nazi Pug ...
What about Douglass Mackey ...
and countless others ...

Article 19 is absolutely worthless ... sad but true ...

NY Times on Mackey

It seems the the GOP has introduced a bill that is
almost the opposite in terms of limiting free speech
and government interference.

rollcall.com...

Some say it goes to far in the opposite direction.

If I had to choose, I'd err on the side of freedom.

Who reads russian troll factory anyways?

Many good points.

Leftist seems inappropriate now. False left/right illusion - as people both “sides” are working to fulfill same over-arching agenda.

We need better word. Globalist comes close. But now they claim that is anti-Jewish which makes no sense to me.

Corporate-govermant oligarchy?

Seems like they want modern version of feudalism where we, the common people are given no say, cannot own land, and are beholden to them for everything - “you will own nothing and be happy”…

Link to bill.

The unregulated policies and operations of some of the most powerful digital platforms have at times produced demonstrable harm, including— (B) abetting the collapse of trusted local journalism; (D) disseminating disinformation and hate speech; … (F) in some cases, radicalizing individuals to violence.

So.. to they don’t like that we can get our news from non government/msm controlled news sources and be able to post our own opinions about them that don’t fit their narrative.

I never thought our country could fall so far. Literally opposite our constitution.

For the record, screw both Democrats and Republicans trying to take away our freedoms.

" How do "We the People" go about that? "


Peaceful Noncompliance . Refuse to Bow Down to a Unconstitutional Authority . The Law is On Our Side . Keep Publicly Pointing Out their Crimes to All Our Fellow Citizens Until they can No Long Show their Faces without Shame .

Thank God the bill didn't make it through but there's this statement that worries me:

Source: www.govtrack.us

Died in a previous Congress
Although this bill was not enacted, its provisions could have become law by being included in another bill. It is common for legislative text to be introduced concurrently in multiple bills (called companion bills), re-introduced in subsequent sessions of Congress in new bills, or added to larger bills (sometimes called omnibus bills).

that's what parents are for...

not the governments business in the slightest. anybody proposing a bill like this should be jailed. get that dimwit Biden out and whoever replaces him must announce that free speech is no longer under harm
