Muskrat spreading political disinformation The muskrat is directly spreading political disinformation to attack foreign politicians. It includes weaponizing antisemitism through false accusations. This is on top of his other efforts to support European neo-Nazis. I disagree with Robert Reich on one pertinent question. I think it is an injustice to prohibit expression of certain views and attitudes — even those that I condemn, such as antisemitism, racism and sexism — and even to prohibit insulting a person. This is one of the aspects of European countries that make me uncomfortable. Another similar injustice in European countries is prohibition of blasphemy — or its secular, ecumenical version, prohibition against expression that would hurt the feelings of believers in some religion or other. I suggest that countries instead pass laws forbidding the operation of a social network that is owned by hateful foreigners. In other words, treat ex-Twitter and Facebook the way the US for a while treated TikTok. Also, to prohibit operating a social network so as to drive people to use a specific recommendation engine. This would not censor any kind of views, but it would prevent managing a social network so as to boost particular kinds of views. </li> |
