“I’m interested in your view that the context doesn’t change the First Amendment principles,” Jackson said. “I understood our First Amendment jurisprudence to require heightened scrutiny of government restrictions of speech, but not necessarily a total prohibition when you’re talking about a compelling interest of the government to ensure, for example, that the public has accurate information in the context of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.”
Shows how dangerous this line of thinking is. We know that their "accurate information" was complete bullshit. While often correct opposing views were being labeled as disinformation.
couldn't agree more. also, who gets to decide these events? who gets to declare a "once in a lifetime pandemic".... when it wasn't at all. we know the answer they have in mind.
they just want to keep talking until enough ppl essentially forget that those Amendments are restrictions on the government, not the ppl.
