The argument is about justifying censorship in order to "protect" the rest of us from what the authoritarians consider fake news.

You're defending the right to con people.
I'm defending free expression, which includes criticism.

People can take care of themselves. This is just another example of the nanny-state mentality
You and the others want to remove, restrict, censor that right.
I hope all people reading this are seeing how the fiercest proponents for Trump, (a man who just settled a Fraud case for his fake University by agreeing to pay out $25 million to the people he defrauded), are also fierce champions for lies and fraudulent news sources-- and they attempt to shield themselves behind Free Speech as a deceptive effort to convince their prey to support their own con.
Pretty f###ing slimy.

So?
I was unaware that you had an obligation to read it.
Is this the type of material you want banned?
They are pushing for censorship and . . . believe it or not. . .they are getting quite a few people to help them do it.
We have a choice.
Do we embrace freedom, all freedom (the truth, the crazy, the fantasy) or do we do as the media and their willing accomplices want and introduce censorship?
