Someone in Britain Missed the Lexington Memo of Bullet Points

10/17/25 HotAir discusses the British government's insistence that it can order American internet services to censor their conduct.  While the British Office of Communications admits the First Amendment protects Americans from censorship by the U.S. government, they think it does not prevent other governments from doing so.  So they are demanding a 20,000 pound fine from 4Chan.  They seem not to understand that suing in America would require a U.S. court to order payment for free speech. They are welcome to sue in the courts of other nations and try to find some way to exercise a seizure order. Royal Marines invade and seize 4Chan property?

Gov. Newsom Signed Law Banning Deepfake Election Ads

Babylon Bee does a deepfake that creates a perfect First Amendment basis for striking down the law.

Anyone that does not immediately recognize this as parody is too stupid to sit on a jury

At Least She Has A Sense of Humor

 4/29/22 Fox News has this tweet from Biden's director of the Ministry of Truth. 

Twitter users erupted after an unearthed TikTok video showed the Biden administration's new Disinformation Governance Board executive director singing a revised version of Mary Poppins’ "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" tailored around "information laundering."

"You can just call me the Mary Poppins of disinformation," Nina Jankowicz tweeted in February 2021, attaching a link to her musical reprisal. 

Go watch it.  It is very funny, but about what I would expect from a Biden appointee. 

Disinformation is anything that your side finds offensive or irritating.  Yes, sometimes stuff gets passed around that is false (especially on antisocial media and often in mainstream media), but the ACLU used to believe the solution to bad speech was more speech.
