In order to define what is "false or misleading", someone has to define the truth. In this case, imagine Fecebook's "factcheckers" or Snopes as the oracle of all that is "truth", defining all else, including dissenting scientific views as "false" or "misinformation". We have already had a taste of this where Federal Agencies knew that certain therapies were effective against COVID, yet the narrative claimed these to be ineffective and even dangerous. They were, indeed, dangerous--dangerous to the web of lies being passed off, collectively, as the 'narrative and the seizure of liberty being conducted using the narrative as an excuse.
The
Ministry of Truth has arrived.
this is a direct affront to the First Amendment in which our right to dissent is supposed to be a protected Civil Right--an
unalienable Right. That original idea would let arguments live or die by their merits, in the face of the mortal combat of reasonable discussion and evidence one way or another. But even now, that evidence and those arguments are being suppressed by some social media platforms and by the government, itself. Given the power to decide what is "truth" (especially considering that "truth" may be at issue), those discussions will, by force of law, be ended.
It is inevitable that those who most benevolently define truth will, sooner or later, define that 'truth' to their personal or collective benefit, rendering "truth" to something they define, whether that has any relation to reality whatsoever.
For those of us in flyover country, this is just an extension of the Beltway Bubble that is DC, a systemic disconnect from the reality we know where water actually flows downhill, and where lovely theories meet a brutal death at the hands of natural law.
