we know that the political types are partisan as hell and that they have partisan motives and got caught censoring on partisan grounds (eg, the Russians created Hunter's laptop!).

but then in the questions from Jackson and Barrett they act as if the censoring feds are pure and noble and are simply trying to protect us.

jfc.

after the Fairness Doctrine died, one of the bureaucrats said, "yes of course we used it to push our political narratives and punish our opponents'.

the laptop was an example of how this works. the actual case involved, among other things, the feds shutting down a Stanford professor who voiced the opinion that COVID didn't deeply threaten kids and that schools should remain open.

my point still remains: if we base the rule on the assumption that politcians and partisans are neutrals who act only in the common good we are ignoring law, history, and reality.

it wasn't just a request, they pretty transparently sent senior intelligence officials to run large sections of the companies, then set up official channels to flag content they wanted removed with an expectation that it would be, just because there isn't an email saying "or else" doesn't make it not corrupt as all fuck

This is probably one of those cases where the outcome doesn't matter because we'll get a clear rule going forward. e

If the rule is "the government can make requests so long as it doesn't have a threat attached" - then all the companies going forward can at least know they can tell the government to fuck off.
