You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Since 1798 the US government has been censoring free speech.
Adams, Lincoln, Wilson, and Roosevelt actively shut down and censored dissenting publications.
The Biden administration embedded intelligence agencies into major social media platforms and actively pushed censorship of news that would have cost them the election.
The FCC bullying TV networks into firing a low-quality show host for cringe comments on the Charlie Kirk murder is bad, and unacceptable. But nowhere near the sins of the past.

yeah you have this wrong.
the FCC has clear rules on stating Lies about a crime.
That is what the FCC told the stations they were looking into.
Don't just read the headlines and the FUD research the actual FCC statements.
What is the exact statute and how does it apply to this situation? And when was the last time it was actually applied in a political speech context (or at all)?
My position remains the same regardless: abolish the FCC.
Your hatred for the FCC blinds you to a society of laws.
It applies as he lied about the assassin.
Which is telling lies about a crime.
I believe in freedom, of which government is the opposite.
I think we'd all be better off without the FCC trying to regulate the airwaves.
Not a radical position.
not a radical position but while it exists it exists.
but you can't be an anrachist.
government has to exist in some form.
even tribes had chieftains.
I'm definitely a philosophical anarchist, practical realist/incrementalist.
The less coercion we have in society, the better. Which means as much as possible should be in the non-government/free market sector.
replied with the FCC regulation and it does not matter if it was ever used before.
The law matters and needs to be applied always.
this is not the FBI with an office inside of twitter banning accounts.
Where is your outrage at that?
I was always outraged. The thing about being principled is you never have to second-guess where you'll stand in history
