Clinton went on CNN to lament the continued resistance to censorship and to call upon Congress to limit free speech.
Hillary Clinton is continuing her global efforts to get countries, including the United States, to crackdown on opposing views.
Despite the amplified message on sites like CNN, most citizens may not be as aggrieved as Clinton that she and her allies could “lose total control” over the Internet.
This is all about power and the fear that she and others will “lose control” over speech: Clinton continues to offer a textbook example of the anti-free speech narrative.
In pushing her latest book, “Something Lost and Something Gained,” Clinton amplified on her warnings about the dangers of free speech.
If citizens remain true to their values and this indispensable right, Clinton will hopefully continue to face “a long and difficult road to getting anything done” in limiting the free speech of her fellow citizens.
