We can't go on this way.

We have come to a crossroads now that we've connected the fact that behind the soaring number of Data Centers is the devious plan to control people by controlling the information they hear. It's a process that began decades ago when the Fairness Doctrine ended, followed by the Robert's Court ruling on Citizens United. In two steps, they weakened the media's obligation to properly inform the public, and they gave those with deep pockets more power to attack their opponents using vile lies. Plainly, in a country where there is no controls over the quality of speech, billionaires have succeeded in controlling speech.

Now enters the era of the Data Centers. We already know the damage they can do because of what happened when Zelensky neutralized the Data Centers in Russia. Those foreign bot farms disseminated false information with the intention of triggering the US conservative voters. Sadly, their racist tropes worked, because racism exists in this country. So, essentially, a foreign country, with the blessing of conservative leaders in this country, intentionally keeps us divided. And we all know, a house divided cannot stand.

Now the really bad news: We have to face the fact that there are already enough Data Centers under construction in the US to affect the course of the next general election. There is only one way to neutralize them and that's to bring back some leveling regulation to deter those who are intentionally spreading false, political information. Off the top of my head, we could start by passing the Fairness Doctrine 2.0. But, where there is a criminal attempt to spread false information, like in Texas where they claimed that Talarico had been in a mental institution, there should be stiffer penalties to deter them, and others, from doing it again.

Frankly, I see this as a critical necessity and it should be taking all of our focus. I don't see why, in a country where you can identify a legal cause, there isn't a movement to look for legal remedies. The Supreme Court erred by turning us into second class citizens when they gave billionaires the power to buy airways and politicians. Our words and opinions have been diluted because of it. We have lost our freedom of Speech because of the conservative's malicious long game. But what we can plainly see today, is that if you can't magnify your voice, you lose your voice.

As soon as we make changes to the Supreme Court, the first order of business should involve filing lawsuits to help change the laws to control the data that is coming from those Data Centers. It would be a start in removing the power that billionaires now have to buy elections and politicians.

Congrats! You've just pointed what mainstream news outlets, the Democratic Party, globalists, the originators of things like "Russiagate", and the like, have been doing for years.

Data Centers, under various terms - Computer Room, server farm, etc. - have been around since, literally, Bletchley Park and the Ultra decrypts. Now Data Centers are a Reich-Wing plot to manipulate the 2026 midterm elections?

Get this clown. S/h/it believes that the information collated in data centers will be processed into PRODUCT for their CONSUMPTION.

Uh-uh.

The powers that be aren't pushing data centers everywhere for YOUR BENEFIT, DUmp'Rat. The data centers are there to collect and collate YOUR DATA, so that the powers that be can read your patterns, predict your intentions and responses before you yourself know the question is before you, and manage your reactions for maximum tranquility and profit.

They're not making product for you, DUmp'Rat. You're the product...

The fairness doctrine?

 

When was the fairness doctrine ever applied to the msm which leans, twists and spins full on democrat/leftist?

Delusional. That is the only word that comes close to describing these 'people'.

BLUF: Data centers will somehow steal the election, so they want to criminalize speech they don't like because fascism.

Especially when ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS had an uni-voiced oligopoly on TV skews.
