Elizabeth Warren has demanded criminal punishment for social media users who spread false information about how to vote in elections.
The
Democratic presidential candidate has pledged to push for 'tough civil
and criminal penalties' in a bid to tackle Russian-linked deception
efforts.
She also took aim at Facebook
and Twitter for their 'meager' efforts to tackle the spread of fake
news, urging them to block accounts who post false information.
Online
tricksters were found to have spread a series of falsehoods during the
2016 and 2018 elections, including incorrect election dates and claims
that voters could cast their ballot by text.
I shudder to think how the First Amendment gets taught by her.
Is she going to make it retro-active and charge herself with a crime?
ReplyDeleteOr is she going to claim ex post facto for herself? You know, the constitution being what it is.
