mr peters addresses the subject of free speech and what's been done to it lately;
This “anti-Semitic” business is something I’ve thought about going into – so here goes.
Like “racist,” it has become a generic shout-down word – one that works because there are anti-Semitic people, just as there are racist people. The problem is that both words are used to silence people who aren’t either but who have raised legitimate questions/criticisms that the cat-callers do not want to deal with and so they de-legitimize the person to avoid having to deal with the person’s questions/criticisms.
Two parallel examples come immediately to mind:..........more.........
clinton and sain't obama are both against free speech as its a threat to 'democracy' they say which i find to be a very curious stand;
Via: Jonathan Turley:
We have been discussing how Democratic leaders like Hillary Clinton called on foreign companies to pass censorship laws to prevent Elon Musk from restoring free speech protections on Twitter. The EU has responded aggressively to warn Musk not to allow greater free speech or face crippling fines and even potential criminal enforcement. After years of using censorship-by-surrogates in social media companies, Democratic leaders seem to have rediscovered good old-fashioned state censorship.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) declared Musk’s pledge to restore free speech values on social media as threatening Democracy itself. She has promised that “there are going to be rules” to block such changes. She is not alone. Former President Obama has declared “regulation has to be part of the answer” to disinformation.
For her part, Hillary Clinton is looking to Europe to fill the vacuum and called upon her European counterparts to pass a massive censorship law to “bolster global democracy before it’s too late.”
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern recently repeated this call for global censorship at the United Nations to the applause of diplomats and media alike.
EU censors have assured Democratic leaders that they will not allow free speech to break out on Twitter regardless of the wishes of its owner and customers........https://www.cryptogon.com/?p=65199
