You defuse the panic generated by a falsehood with….. the truth.
Not censorship.
Besides, they weren’t doing what your hypothetical portends. They were knocking people offline and suppressing their speech because they had the ‘wrong’ viewpoint.
Read the reporting from the people who went through the Twitter files emails between government agents and Twitter.
You can’t diffuse a viral story with truthful posts instantly. That takes times. Sometimes you don’t have that time.
The government wasn’t knocking anyone off line or suppressing their speech. They made reports like anyone else could make and the platforms decided.
True, but the government doesn’t.Platforms have a right to moderate the content.
Your metaphor doesn’t indicate the problem you found in Tiabbi’s reporting.And I read some of the reporting. Tiabbi shit the bed on his reporting and got worked like a part time job. Did you find an honest broker in the Twitter files content? Perhaps the ones that showed Trump Admin demanding removals?’
This isn’t a right or left issue. This is a platform moderation issue.
You‘re not very well informed I see.
It's not the federal government's job to censor free speech, especially to the point where they are, themselves, providing misinformation, and taking truthful information down.Doesn’t do any good when a false report is going viral. That needs to come down now. Simply having the government, any government saying it’s false does little to stop the tide.
And yes the federal government in my example. Are you saying you are fine if a state government contacts the platforms but not federal?
And many events are designated w/ federal protection - Super Bowl, Olympics, political conventions …
Why is it "Missouri vs Biden?????
