Warren and Schiff: Enemies of Liberty

[Bud_Spencer]

These two totalitarian kommissars presume to tell nominally free companies how to sell their wares to meet Democrat policy goals:

Warren and Rep. Adam Schiff’s latest crusade against free choice and free speech. These two lions of integrity are apparently very upset that, despite the avalanche of propaganda we have endured over the COVID vaccines, Americans seem to be interested in hearing the other side. One book has sold nearly 100,000 copies!...

Warren and Schiff have sent a stern letter to Amazon demanding a report that explains “what the company is doing to stop its systems from recommending books and other products linked to falsehoods about the pandemic and vaccines.”

“Given the seriousness of this issue, I ask that you perform an immediate review of Amazon’s algorithms and, within 14 days, provide both a public report on the extent to which Amazon’s algorithms are directing consumers to books and other products containing COVID19 misinformation and a plan to modify these algorithms so that they no longer do so.”

Thugs, both of them.

It's no different from trying to censor books that tell people arsenic is good for you.

The only thing worse than a book telling me arsenic is good for me is the government telling me I can't read a book telling me arsenic is good for me.

You may need the Central State to tell you what and what not to read. I don't/

Free speech lets you make that statement because rational debate will always conclude that it's a bad idea. The more you try to ban an idea, the more people will wonder what you're hiding.

Bear in mind that the commonest complaint about the Internet is that it has no "gatekeepers," no editors, no way to prevent the spread of lies and errors and disinformation.

"The problem with things you read on the Internet is you never know if they're true or not."

-- Abraham Lincoln
