Although it is important that we question everything we read, it is just as important that we do not let the government control what we read.
Thanks to unprecedented advances in technology, people are able to access information at rates and levels that would have been unimaginable even a couple decades ago. We can store information that would have taken entire libraries to fill in times past on devices no bigger than our hands today, and transmit it faster than anyone could have dreamed of. This has made it possible for ordinary people to not just find news, but disseminate it as well.
The downside of this is that since everybody can share news, anybody can, leading to misleading and even outright false stories spreading. Even worse, this gives the busybodies in Washington a pretext to exert their control over alternative media.

they don’t like us knowing the truth….dem have threatened and violated free speech during this administration and now they are censoring……they truly are dictators as they work to destroy our constitution
This is propaganda!
Oops, we did again. Voted them all back in. And this is our thanks for voting. Guess none of these people studied about$#%&!@* Chairman May, or Stalin. Probably didn’t read Orwell either. They claim they are doing this to keep us safe when they are only worried about is themselves. This is becoming less and less like the U.S. my father and his generation fought for and becoming more like the one they fought against. Glad he’s gone. Now, I want to move…
Good bye freedom of speech!
People are up in arms about Congressional “censorship” but won’t tear the technology company leadership, mainstream media or Facebook management a new$#%&!@*for cyber censorship. What do you think Zuckerfuck is up to by limiting so-called f**e news on FB.
There doesn’t appear to be any evidence that this true. Trace the history of the bill (both Senate and house versions) and they have left committee, let alone been voted on and passed.
When have the people ever voted on proposed federal law? Never!! Never will!!
The story is not true. This bill has NOT passed.
