Hawaii wants its own Ministry of Truth to police social media accounts for “disinformation”

This is directly from the text of SR132:

“WHEREAS, proliferation of social media has enabled some organizations and individuals with broad reach presenting themselves as news sources to intentionally or inadvertently spread misinformation, making it difficult for the average person to distinguish truth from fiction”

Hearing is 4/1 10:30 am, testimony due by 3/29 10:30 am.

Please OPPOSE this resolution!!

Oh and not a surprise that Fevella is a cosponsor. He needs to just run as a Dem when his term is up.

Control of news outlets?

This is a direct violation of the 1st Amendment -- government censorship of individual speech.

That's the nature of freedom. People are at liberty to post lies (the government does it all the time), and everyone else is free to believe the lies or not.  Most of us ignore them.

I'd ask those in the legislature one question:  when the Democrat Party under the leadership of Hillary Clinton's campaign created the Russia Collusion hoax, and the FBI illegally obtained FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign, and when their lawyer lied about Carter Page being a CIA asset, and then continued their hoax for years to disrupt the Trump administration, is that the level of scrutiny we can expect from this Hawaii government based censorship board?

Has anyone bothered to apologize to the American people for silencing the people who refused to believe the lies and misinformation coming out of the White House and DOJ?

If government can't get the big things right, how can we trust them to get the little ones right?

Yeah, that's what I was getting at.  I have always been interested in WWII (history, events leading up, etc).  Been watching the "in color" shows of the events recently.

To your question, if those being asked are already biased by the propo, then what's the use?  [rhetorical]

Everything is propaganda.
Even the truth?
Especially the truth.

If we lower prices, then the wealthy don’t have as much surplus profits. If we eliminate houselessness, then non-profits and state/federal/city/county agencies would lose funding, which means people would lose their jobs.

In other words, suffering creates jobs. 

We want more suffering so more people can have jobs which helps ease the suffering.

This is just the tip of the iceberg as to why our country will never ever move forward to improve the quality of life for everyone.

Keep them sick.
Keep them ignorant.
Keep them poor.
Keep them clueless.

cool story, bro...

With all the fake news we should have some 3rd party post disclaimers much like Twitter and their fact checker. Soon with AI advances telling fact from fiction will only get harder.

And who are these geniuses who are able to discern the truth from fiction in all countries, states, cities, towns, schools, businesses, government agencies, and so on?  Who is an expert in all facets of every possible category of information being posted online?

What's the consequence of getting it wrong?  Once the damage to the creator is done, do we now have to make it right with a giant check backed by more government debt?

Have you seen the Hawaii Society of Professional Journalists website?

Design circa 1996 and last updated 2021.

The legislature might want to check that they are all not dead from turbo cancer before they write them a stupid letter.

And they are using a free GMail account for official business, too.

Nothing screams professionalism like a GMail account.
