Wait, so @aclu is using examples of government misinformation to show that we should back off of social media misinformation? Smells like what-about-ism to me. I’m all for liberty but who will stick up for truth?
The ACLU's point is that the government isn't always good at determining what the truth is. It's not what-aboutism, it's a very clear example of what can go wrong when we allow the government to declare what counts as "misinformation."
I don’t disagree. But it would appear that ACLU is suggesting we leave misinformation alone in order to combat censorship. On that point I would disagree. We need more accountability, not less, of both social media and of government itself.
Whom in the government do you envision making the decisions about what is true, and which opinions and ideas are too dangerous to allow someone to say? Would it be the Justice Department? Or like a new Department of Truth? Will the people who decide be elected or appointed?
