    Its just to appease snowflakes. The polls indicate millennials want to get rid of the first amendment. They really are a weak group of people.

    Yawn...

    When was the last time I advocated for someone to lose their right to speech or expression.

    You just keep making shit up. You are a failure.

    No one is advocating for freedom of speech to be rescinded. FB and Twitter are not government companies and are free to do as they wish concerning content on their platforms, even buckling to boycott pressure

    Get your facts straight snowflake. Could you at least make a single post where you somewhat know what you are talking about?


    Majority of Millennials Want First Amendment Rewritten to Curb “Hate Speech”

    https://www.redstate.com/brandon_mo...y-millennials-want-first-amendment-rewritten/


    More than 60 percent of Americans agree on restricting speech in some way, while a slim majority, 51 percent, want to see the First Amendment rewritten to “reflect the cultural norms of today.” The Campaign for Free Speech, which conducted the survey, said the results “indicate free speech is under more threat than previously believed.”

    “The findings are frankly extraordinary,” executive director Bob Lystad told the Washington Free Beacon. “Our free speech rights and our free press rights have evolved well over 200 years, and people now seem to be rethinking them.”

    False Articles About Trump and Pelosi Show Facebook Is Losing Battle Against Fake News, Investigation Finds

    Fake news articles containing false information about politicians like President Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reached millions of Facebook users this year in spite of a new initiative that warned users of the untrue claims before they shared the link.

    A new investigation from Avaaz says the U.S. has been flooded with over 158 million views of political fake news ahead of the 2020 elections. They focused on collecting the most viral Facebook posts from Jan. 1 to Oct. 31, 2019, and analyzed the top 100 fake news stories about U.S. politics still on the platform, including only examples that were fact-checked by reputable organizations.
