Leave it to Cankles and John F-ing Kerry, who served in Vietnam, to assail the First Amendment:
Hillary Clinton: ‘We Lose Total Control’ If Social Media Companies Don’t ‘Moderate’ Content
This should be "at the top of every legislative political agenda," she said.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during an interview over the weekend that there needed to be more regulation and censorship on the internet or else the government will lose “control.”
Clinton made the remarks during a Saturday appearance on CNN’s “Smerconish” with host Michael Smerconish while talking about social initiatives that Clinton wants to see society engage in.
“We can look at the state of California, the state of New York, I think some other states have also taken action,” Clinton began.
“But we need national action, and sadly, our Congress has been dysfunctional when it comes to addressing these threats to our children,” she said.

“But we need national action, and sadly, our Congress has been dysfunctional when it comes to addressing these threats to our children,” she said. “But we now know that that was an overly simple view, that if the platforms, whether it’s Facebook or Twitter, X, or Instagram or Tiktok, whatever they are, if they don’t moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control,” she continued. She said that the companies needed their immunity to be removed so that “guardrails” could be put into place.

If you want to know how hostile the global elite are to free speech, look no further than John Kerry’s recent speech to the World Economic Forum.
Rather than extol the benefits of democratic liberty versus dictatorships and oligarchs, Kerry called the First Amendment a “major block” to keeping people from believing the “wrong” things.
The former secretary of state and aide to the Biden-Harris administration told the sympathetic audience:
“You know, there’s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you’re going to have some accountability on facts, etc. But look, if people only go to one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence.
“So what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern, by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change.”
The “freedom” to be won in this election is to liberate officials who like himself can set about controlling what can be said, read or heard. Kerry insisted that the problem with social media is that no one is controlling what they can say or read.
“The dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing. It is part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue,” he said.
“It’s really hard to govern today. The referees we used to have to determine what is a fact and what isn’t a fact have kind of been eviscerated, to a certain degree. And people go and self-select where they go for their news, for their information. And then you get into a vicious cycle.”
Kerry continued: “Democracies around the world now are struggling with the absence of a sort of truth arbiter, and there’s no one who defines what facts really are.”
