Liawatha states that people who spread fake news in campaigns should go to jail:
Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday released a plan to fight disinformation to hold tech companies accountable for their actions in light of the 2016 election.
“Disinformation and online foreign interference erode our democracy, and Donald Trump has invited both,” Warren said in a Tweet Wednesday. “Anyone who seeks to challenge and defeat Donald Trump in the 2020 election must be fully prepared to take this on – and I’ve got a plan to do it.”
Warren proposed to combat disinformation by holding big tech companies like Facebook, Twitter and Google responsible for spreading misinformation designed to suppress voters from turning out.
“I will push for new laws that impose tough civil and criminal penalties for knowingly disseminating this kind of information, which has the explicit purpose of undermining the basic right to vote,” Warren said in a press release.
Go here to read the rest. Obviously Harvard law professor Fauxcahontas has forgotten all about that pesky First Amendment regarding freedom of speech and of the press. However, to be fair, the Left and the Bill of Rights have not been on speaking terms for some time.
So what would be considered “fake news”?
– EW IS an American Indian?
– EW is NOT an American Indian when she claimed to be?
– EW never said she was an American Indian?
– EW never benefited from being publicly acknowledged as being an American Indian?
– Etc……..
Oh I’m sure Trump could have fun with that rule…
That’s what I wish we could. “You like that idea? Ok, let’s let Trump have that power for 1 week. Then see how you like it afterwards.”
I could probably redpill the entire left-wing of the country in 6 months with that.
