New York Democrats are proposing legislation to punish and silence critics of the latest and everchanging COVID policies, vaccinations and treatments.
The new law is being proposed by Democrat Brad Hoylman aims to hold social media platforms accountable for knowingly promoting disinformation, violent hate speech, and other unlawful content that could harm others.
The law will punish those who promote: “A false statement of fact or fraudulent medical theory that is likely to endanger the safety or health of the public.”
This is how Democrats want to “reform” Section 230 that protects tech giants from lawsuits. It’s another stark reminder of why conservatives should absolutely not consider it possible to compromise with Democrats on the subject. There really is no “bipartisan” pathway here. Fascist Democrats want to control and stifle speech. Republicans want to open speech up and punish the tech giants who continue to eliminate conservative thought leaders online.

What is a “false statement or fraudulent medical theory theory that is likely to endanger the safety or health of the public?” Would that include when public health officials told people not to wear masks in March 2020?
