Surgeon general just called for an expansion of AI censorship, including real-time streams.

Strengthen the monitoring of misinformation. Platforms should increase staffing of multilingual content moderation teams and improve the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in languages other than English since non- English-language misinformation continues to proliferate. Platforms should also address misinformation in live streams, which are more difficult to moderate due to their temporary nature and use of audio and video.

I have **no** problem with the government spending money on science backed educational programs to help get people making better decisions... but actually forcing the speech of others in one way or the other, such as censorship... fuck no.

@rhyse

@freemo esp since it's already been established the misinformation programs are corrupt (ex. explicitly naming compounds misinformation despite peer review)

@rhyse
@icedquinn @freemo the programs have always and America has always had restrictions on speech. There were people being thrown in jail for speaking out against the founders in the 1700s, and it's always the same excuse of "these are difficult times blah blah blah"

You also cant scream fire in a theater as they say.

Freedom of speech does not really mean "I can say anything at any time"... what it means, or at least should mean, is that I can hold any opinion I want, and express and discuss that opinion.
