Kamala Harris came out in 2019 and admitted in the wide open that she wants to see the same type of state-sponsored censorship implemented in the United States as what we now see taking shape in Brazil.
The government, Harris believes, should have ultimate control over what you and I are allowed to post on the internet, as well as more control over what we are allowed to see and hear.
She's very impressed with the socialist government of Brazil's legal action to shut down Twitter, now called X. She's telling us that social media platforms, which are where most people get their news today, are "Directly speaking to millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation, and that has to stop."
The question becomes, who should we allow to be the official filter of news and information? Who should be allowed to be the overseer? I think Kamala is pretty clear on that.
It's not just Kamala Harris who thinks this way.
Robert Reich, the former secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor under Bill Clinton, said in an August 30th op-ed for The Guardian that Elon Musk should be dealt with harshly for his commitment to free speech on his X platform, which Reich described as "Out of control."
The regimes in China, North Korea, Iran and Cuba have never allowed people to speak critically of government authorities so nothing is changing there.
