B-Man Posted March 25, 2024 Posted March 25, 2024 Free speech hangs in the balance in 3 Supreme Court cases The Hill, by Jonathan Turley This month, the Supreme Court reviewed a trifecta of free speech cases that has government and civil libertarians alike on edge. While each of the cases raises an insular issue, they collectively run across the waterfront of free speech controversies facing this country. For some of us, what was most chilling from oral arguments were the sentiments voiced by justices on the left of the court, particularly Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The court may now be reflecting the shift among liberal scholars and politicians away from freedom of speech and in favor of greater government speech regulation https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/4551132-free-speech-hangs-in-the-balance-in-three-supreme-court-cases/ . 1

Good thing Brazil is such a free and fair country!

The left-wing news program was caught red-handed when it was revealed that Kate Starbird isn't actually an unbiased arbiter of truth and fiction. The background of this story involves the following interview, in which Starbird and "60 Minutes'" Lesley Stahl complain that X (formerly Twitter) wasn't at their beck and call to censor content they deem to be "misinformation. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/03/26/60-minutes-gets-caught-red-handed-not-disclosing-background-of-disinformation-expert-n2171966 . 1

B-Man Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 That's a shame. State Department’s Global Engagement Center — accused of pushing censorship to combat online ‘disinformation’ — shuts down by Victor Nava The State Department’s controversial Global Engagement Center (GEC) shut down this week after congressional lawmakers nixed reauthorizing the agency in spending legislation to keep the government open. “The Global Engagement Center closed on December 23, 2024,” read a message on the agency’s website. The GEC came under fire from House Republicans after journalist Matt Taibbi uncovered evidence that it pressured US social media platforms early in the COVID-19 pandemic to censor Americans online, purportedly to counter “disinformation,” such as theories that the virus leaked out of a laboratory in China. https://nypost.com/2024/12/26/us-news/state-departments-global-engagement-center-accused-of-pushing-censorship-to-combat-online-disinformation-shuts-down/ . 2
