Excerpt:
An unsteady Tim Walz on Tuesday night became boxed in by Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) after the Trump running mate challenged his rival to denounce the Democrats’ habit of criminalizing “hate speech and misinformation,” an encounter that quickly went viral in the hours after their first and only debate.
Vance’s assertion that conservatives are being silenced online certainly has merit. Federal courts have found that the Biden-Harris administration erred in 2021 when authorities pressured social media companies to censor users who spoke out about the efficacy of Covid-19 shots, masks, and other mandates. In another high-profile example during the 2020 election, many users were shadow-banned or booted from various platforms for sharing stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop which then-candidate Joe Biden claimed at the time was a product of Russian disinformation. To Vance, both examples are examples where Walz and Harris opposed free speech.
