Speech in America is fast, cheap and out of control

http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed...818-story.html

Internet speech has decimated newspapers, publishers and book stores.

Less positively, cheap speech has undermined mediating and stabilizing institutions of American democracy, including newspapers and political parties, with negative social and political consequences.


there are those who want a return to old days where 3 networks were the norm.

The courts should not stand in the way of possible future laws aimed at requiring social media sites to identify and police false political advertising, for instance.

sounds like this article favors censorship by court means or by 3rd party tech companies like google & facebook.
Amazing how in that entire article they managed to ignore any examples of Progressive/Liberal/Socialist/Democrat "cheap speech".

This has "1984" written all over it. And, it begs back to the age old question, ...."who will regulate the regulators".

Education is the only cure for Fake News....just not sure how that can come about . You have people believing that there is mass voter fraud and are now making it harder for a certain segment of society to vote....that is 1984 and Jackie that is done by the right.

Putin realized this ability to manipulate the news early on. They have a huge advantage over us in this regard. Maybe after the right throws in jail or keeps it supporters from voting we too will be like Putin and be able to counter his mass Fake News with a campaign of our own.





WTF's Signature as of September 11, 2017: "LexusLover is the only poster on eccie that defends Vice arresting providers. Cops beating civilians. Proceed at your own risk with this poster..."
WTF has no links or proof. Watch out for his "retaliations" and schoolyard antics!

LLiarMan's ignorant, narcissistic bullshit continues.

We've got death and destruction.

We've got Twitler fucking over his party.

We've got a lot of things to discuss.

It's 9/11 goddammit, Surely you asshole want to curse Muslims today. Seems like that would be appropriate...

BUT NOOOOOOO!!! We need to deal with the juvenile antics of an attention starved reprobate who's desperately trying to walk back every post he makes.

I suppose LLiarMan finds this a better solution than trying to regulate traffic on our public campuses.

So be it.

Maybe we can discuss other issues tomorrow.
