Within one week, the Left's allies in the political Establishment joined forces in their quest to destroy democracy for the sake of saving democracy.
On April 21, President Barack Obama spoke at a symposium Stanford organized to address social media problems. His recommendations included more government regulation against "toxic information," which he defined as "lies, conspiracy theories, junk science, quackery, White supremacist, racist tracts, misogynist screeds."
"You just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing that citizens no longer know what to believe," Obama said. "Once they lose trust in their leaders, in mainstream media, in political institutions, in each other, in the possibility of truth, the game’s won.”
On the same day, Hillary Clinton tweeted support for the European Union's Digital Services Act, which "sets for the first time the rules on how Big Tech should keep users safe online," especially regarding "misinformation or propaganda in light of Covid-19," the Financial Times reported.
