[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can the government perhaps step in to seize Twitter (to nationalize it in effect) in order to prevent the disinformation and unbridled chaos that social media has caused and has since 2018 destroyed democracy?[/quote]

Private companies can censor. The US government can't. Nationalizing would make the problem even worse with disinformation.[/quote]

I don’t care if it is public or private but I do care that Twitter reigns in all the outrageous political lies on there before. They only recently got their act more together.

I don’t trust megalomaniac Musk to establish adequate safe guards for Twitter.

[b]Free speech is the opposite of the bedrock of a functioning democracy [/b]when popular social media platforms act as unfettered megaphones for populist politicians not held accountable for telling the truth/ advocating race and ethnic based violence/ science misinformation/ hate speech.

Wow. 
Were you born in the US or are you from another country?  [/quote]

Let us know how unfettered “free speech” worked for Rwanda. People go very quickly from being brainwashed by rhetoric to chopping up their neighbors with machetes. Same crap is on the verge of happening here. It’s the same reason Germans and French have very strong speech laws against antisemitism and Nazism. [/quote]
