Except anti semetic, you will have no freedom for that.
"I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as mis or dis information."
Notice that the most threatening of the censorship terminology - "hate speech" - was somehow left out of that statement.
Possibly because Jews want "hate speech" laws in place to deal with anyone who mentions Jews in an unflattering manner.
Eh, they're fundamentally different.
One is the government being the arbiter of objective facts, and it would be good if they were explicitely blocked from doing them.
Hate speech falls within their discretion because it has to do with whether some speech is threatening to the point of justifying violence.
Jews are pussies so we really don't need to worry about offending them.
No it doesn't.
It is, and will continue to be, whatever they want it to be at a given time.
Just like misinformation and disinformation.
Three ambiguous terms chosen specifically because of how easy it is for government to interpret and reinterpret them however they want.
You can disagree with their interpretation (I and do), but they're still two different things.
Would I like to see "hate speech" eliminated from law, or reduced to an immediate and actionable threat of violence? Yes. Do I think threats should be dealt with by authorities before people take matters into their own hands? Also, yes.
Do I think there is ever a reason for thr government to make determinations regarding facts? No, never, no exceptions, which is why I'm fine with the two being dealt with separately.
