Timothy Wu wonders if the First Amendment is \u0027obsolete,\u0027 and believes in \u0027returning the country to the kind of media environment that prevailed in the 1950s\u0027

should be fact-checking, but whether you think it’s appropriate to leave Mark Zuckerberg in charge of naming anyone at all a fact-checker. AOC doesn’t seem to be upset that Zuckerberg has so much authority, but rather that he’s not using it to her liking.

This is where the paradox comes in. Every time a Democratic Party-aligned politician or activist says he or she wants the tech companies to take action to prevent, say, the dissemination of fake news, one has to realize that it makes little sense for those same actors to then turn around and advocate for breakups of those same firms.

Do these members of congress, or thinkers like Wu, want to break up these monopolies, or harness them? To date, the answer has run decidedly in one direction.

Wu’s comment about “returning… to the kind of media environment that prevailed in the 1950s” is telling. This was a disastrous period in American media that not only resulted in a historically repressive atmosphere of conformity, but saw all sorts of glaring social problems covered up or de-emphasized with relative ease, from Jim Crow laws to fraudulent propaganda about communist infiltration to overthrows and assassinations in foreign countries.

All one has to do is to watch Biden’s press conference to get a feel as to what Soviet Russia was in the fifties or Nazi Germany in the thirties. Here is a figure head reading prepared answers to questions pre-selected from a list of government friendly propagandists/journalists.

Wu can go

guessing 'Wu' isn't one of Americans who wrote the Amendment!! Globalists & bankers-corporates realized they can't survive if they don't curb the Web. They slowly adopted the Soviet era's & Chinese policies & also Islamic countries, all which excuse & refuse citizens' opinions.

Sure, why not change, those were written 200+ years ago, when FREE meant something different. Now it's abused for negative comments and lies. Same with 'bear arms', they just had a war. Defence of the nation, kind of expecting the Brits to show up again. 🙁
