He [Musk] has lost his privileges and it should be taken down. ... There has to be a responsibility placed on these social media sites to understand their power. ... They are speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation. That has to stop.
Kamala Harris
VP Harris spoke out against X/Twitter. From her perspective, Free Speech is a privilege, not a right. Musk has lost that privilege according to the would-be president. What could he do to regain his privileges? She wants oversight and regulation. Right. Who decides? Who are these regulators and overseers who will make sure that social media understands its power and uses it responsibly? Is her definition of responsible use the same as my definition of responsible use? She is using the words oversight and regulation when she really means censorship. What else could it be? Proper grammar and punctuation? No, the people have access to information (maybe misinformation) that the government would rather they didn't. The government doesn't want to fight 'misinformation' with facts; they want to censor it. The censors are always the bad guys.
France recently arrested a social media mogul for failing to properly regulate and oversee information. Free speech must be restricted. To allow the government to restrict it without admitting they are abridging free speech, they come up with terms like hate speech, misinformation, disinformation, and so forth. Really, our censoring this is for your own good. Honest.
