Trump's Five Point Plan

Trump has plans for "protecting" free speech if he gets elected again.

1. Ban collusion by the government to stifle lawful speech.

In other words, the government wouldn't be able to inform web sites that certain internet comments are misinformation. This is short-sighted, as Trump would want to be on Twitter daily, ranting about his opposition, which would be just as much collusion as the government is doing right now.

2. Investigate the DoJ for online censorship.

I expect the House Republicans to do that anyway, which will be entertaining and pointless.

3. Change immunity protections under Section 230, so (certain) online platforms could be sued over users' content.

With nicely vague standards, the government could choose friendly platforms to stay immune, while punishing the platforms it finds annoying. Platforms can't manually review every user post, let alone review them promptly, they don't have the manpower for that. The users vastly outnumber the moderators.

4. Ban labeling things as misinformation or disinformation.

Trump doesn't like to be called out on his daily doses of alternative truth. This one is going nowhere.

5. Digital due process.

Platforms would have to justify their bans. Platforms simply don't have the manpower to justify all bans and deal with appeals.

'The best way to protect free speech is to ban people from saying certain things.'

Funny you say that...

Narcissists REALLY get each other.

Protect free speech by ensuring the platforms are required to moderate user content or risk getting sued?

Would certainly make this forum a bit more lively.

That's odd. When the first round of the twitter files came out, the author noted the Trump White House (aka the government) asked and received manipulation of tweets.

These leftist journalists were doxxing Musk, putting his life in danger. The left did the same thing when they put the schedules and even school locations of the children of Supreme Court justices. Any information that encourages violence or crime should not be allowed on social media.
When the Democrats controlled Twitter they wanted to stifle information that did not comply with their agenda. For example, a doctor at Stanford posted that keeping children shut in for long periods at home instead of sending them to school during COVID would be harmful to the children. The doctor was shut down.

I thought Trump’s Five Point Plan was:

1. Person
2. Woman
3. Man
4. Camera
5. TV

All I'm saying is don't argue for principle.

It's common sense. When the "journalists" don't pose a threat to life he has no problem with them returning.

How narcissistic are you when a critique is a threat to your life?
