@DavidSacks Agree. Key question for everyone to consider, "Who Decides? " what is considered safe. Europe is already on-board with Chancellor Merz of Germany decrying he and his govt do NOT believe in free speech when protecting citizens from unsafe and untrue info is key (who decides?)

STATEMENT: President Trump may believe he has the power to revise the First Amendment with the stroke of a pen, but he doesn’t.

Flag burning as a form of political protest is protected by the First Amendment. That’s nothing new.

While people can be prosecuted for burning anything in a place they aren’t allowed to set fires, the government can’t prosecute protected expressive activity — even if many Americans, including the president, find it “uniquely offensive and provocative.”

You don’t have to like flag burning. You can condemn it, debate it, or hoist your own flag even higher.

The beauty of free speech is that you get to express your opinions, even if others don’t like what you have to say.

We can have platforms provide transparency without meddling with content guardrails or installing any content referees. Simple transparency of enforcement actions - including the specific category of content affected - will ensure both viewpoint neutrality and online safety. https://t.co/HI1OmtEOQQ

Amazing turn of events triggered by one and then more brave persons standing against govt censorship. Congress needs to give us a transparency mandate that survives much longer than this current revolution as @pmarca describes to ensure future post-Trump admins are not able to resume previous censorship activities. Transparency enables visibility and peer-to-peer measurement of BOTH online safety and viewpoint neutrality.

[Institute for Better Internet @4BetterInternet]

@chieffishell @shellenberger @realDonaldTrump @BarackObama @JoeBiden @BillGates @HillaryClinton @georgesoros This is correct. Congress needs to pass a mandate of transparency to ensure future govts and social media platforms are not able to restart content censorship. Online safety and viewpoint neutrality can both be protected with thorough mandated transparency

@MikeBenzCyber @joeroganhq Amazing power from the bright lights of public transparency !

[Institute for Better Internet @4BetterInternet]

Communications from govt or govt-funded entities should be published and transparent (excepting natl security and law enforcement)

The people who started unnecessary wars, censored us, and weaponized government to undermine democracy are trying to derail the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard. Please share this to show your support for reform and oversight of the Intelligence Community.

The question for those who want to censor online content in order to protect users from unsafe content - who decides ? Supreme Court is clear - when govt decides which content is true or false that is far more harmful to a democracy than the harms from false content. https://t.co/I3BhI6OLlJ

@lindayaX Question for Obama, Hillary, Walz and Kamala - Who Decides ? Who decides which content is true or false? Should govt decide ? Should a partisan UK entity decide ? See our oped here. https://t.co/4DR0sRgq0H

@ABCPolitics Question for Obama, Hillary, Walz and Kamala - Who Decides ? Who decides which online content is true or false ? Should govt decide ? Should a partisan UK entity decide ? https://t.co/4DR0sRgq0H

Hey Obama, Hillary, Walz and Kamala - question for you, Who Decides ? Who decides which online content is true or false ? Should govt decide ? Should a partisan UK entity decide ? https://t.co/4DR0sRgq0H

@DrJBhattacharya @CCDHate @X @elonmusk Dear Obama, Hillary, Walz and Kamala - question for you, Who Decides? Who decides which info is true or false ? Should govt decide? Should a partisan UK entity decide ? https://t.co/4DR0sRgq0H

[Institute for Better Internet @4BetterInternet]

Who decides ? Who gets to be the arbiter of whether some content is to be considered hate speech ? Or whether it’s true or false, or simply an unpopular opinion or viewpoint. This is why the Supreme Court has consistently ruled that while false content may be quite harmful, govt efforts to pick and choose which content is true or false, or determine which content is hate speech is far more harmful.

[Institute for Better Internet @4BetterInternet]

Here is a proposed online content policy solution that actually makes sense for both Dems and Reps. https://t.co/KaE0ogeUZM

[Institute for Better Internet @4BetterInternet]

Should this content be illegal with criminal penalties ? Who decides ?

Governor Newsom just signed AB-2655 in response to this meme going viral.

The law could force 𝕏 to ban this video.

DO NOT MAKE IT GO VIRAL AGAIN.

[Institute for Better Internet @4BetterInternet]

Free speech is guaranteed by the Constitution - not a privilege. For those who want to censor misinfo/disinfo - who decides what is truth and what is deception ? Gavin ? Kamala? Hillary ?

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

RFK JR: "I don't feel at home with people who believe in censorship, it's disqualifying...We had Hillary Clinton making this extraordinary statement, endorsing this censorship of speech. We had Kamala Harris saying free speech is a privilege not a right...I think that's disqualifying for anyone who wants to be President of the United States.

[Institute for Better Internet @4BetterInternet]

excellent news. The self-proclaimed EU commizar of online misinformation has resigned due to lack of support for his activities which included promotion of censorship

[Michael Shellenberger @shellenberger]

[Institute for Better Internet @4BetterInternet]

Censorship is the key to protecting our other rights - the Constitution's First Amendment protects that right to free speech in our country. Most countries lack such protection. Read about new challenges here https://t.co/NTD8zSXdIJ

@JohnLeFevre What happened to the mainstream media sites who claim that freedom of speech and free press is key to democracy ? Do they only promote this when it helps their "team" ?
