Shrillary sez “if we don’t censor Twitter we lose total control”

Who is “we?”

Shrillary Demands Censorship for Total Control

Hillary Clinton, who narrowly missed becoming president, continues to play the role of the unleashed id of the ever more authoritarian Democratic Party.

A year ago, she wanted “formal deprogramming” for Trump supporters. Last month, she called for jailing people for communicating “misinformation.” Now she proclaims that mass censorship must be imposed or “we lose total control”:

Hillary Clinton: ‘We Lose Total Control’ if We Don’t ‘Moderate and Monitor&#821

Hillary Mask Off: Censor Socials—Or We Lose Control!

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Saturday on CNN’s “Smerconish” that “we lose total control” if social media content is not more regulated.

Clinton said, “We need national action and sadly, our Congress has been dysfunctional when it comes to addressing these threats to our children. So you’re absolutely right. This should be at the top of every legislative, political agenda. There should be a lot of things done. We should be, in my view, repealing something called section 230, which gave platforms on the internet immunity because they were thought to be just pass-throughs, that they shouldn’t be judged for the content that is posted. But we now know that that was an overly simple view, that if the platforms, whether it’s Facebook or Twitter, X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don’t moderate and monitor the content we lose total control and it’s not just the social and psychological effects it’s real harm, it’s child porn and threats of violence, things that are terribly dangerous.”

She added, “Remove the immunity from liability and we need to have guardrails, we need regulation. We’ve conducted a big experiment on ourselves and particularly our kids and I think the evidence is in. We’ve got to do more, take phones out of schools. I’m so happy to see schools beginning to do that where kids turn their phone in when they walk in the door.”

Jonathan Turley provides background:

[A]fter Elon Musk bought Twitter on a pledge to restore free speech protections, Clinton called upon European officials to force Elon Musk to censor American citizens under the infamous Digital Services Act(DSA). This is a former democratic presidential nominee calling upon Europeans to force the censorship of Americans.

She was joined recently by another former democratic presidential nominee, John Kerry, who called for government crackdowns on free speech.

Other democrats have praised Brazil for banning X. For her part, Clinton praised the anti-free speech efforts in California and New York and called for the rest of the country to replicate the approach of those states.

Total control will soon be achieved if these totalitarians prevail in November.
