Michael Shellenberger on free speech

Democrats have been pushing to "regulate social media platforms" — censor speech — for years. Days before Biden announced the "Disinformation Governance Board," Obama said our democracy depended on censorship and proposed amending the Constitution to weaken the First Amendment.

If someone can point to a period of history when the censors turned out to be the good guys, please do so, I would appreciate it.

That explains why he legalized propaganda to brainwash the American people.

Is there a source for this at all?

reply

It's in the video.

The article is paywalled.

Also he didn't specifically say "the first amendment" in the snippet you shared. There's zero way this could happen anyway given you'd need a massive majority to do it.
