Hillary Clinton’s Threat to Free Speech Andrew Torba, October 7, 2024October 7, 2024 Share this: In a recent interview, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for greater federal regulation of social media platforms, asserting that “we lose total control” if these companies do not moderate content on their sites. This follows just one week after former Secretary of State John Kerry expressed concerns at a World Economic Forum panel about the First Amendment posing a challenge in combating online “misinformation” and “disinformation” related to climate change. It is clear that the fight for free speech online is far from over. Clinton’s remarks highlight the ongoing struggle for free speech online and the crucial role platforms like Gab play in defending this fundamental right. Clinton’s proposal to strip social media companies of their immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act would effectively force these platforms to censor user-generated content or face legal consequences. This approach contradicts the very principles of a free and open internet, where individuals should be able to express themselves without fear of retribution or censorship. Platforms like Gab have emerged as beacons of free speech in an increasingly hostile online landscape. By providing a space for users to share their thoughts and opinions without fear of arbitrary moderation or censorship, Gab has become a haven for those who value open discourse and debate. The attempt to regulate social media companies and force them to moderate content is a dangerous precedent that threatens the very foundation of the internet as we know it. It would give unelected bureaucrats and politicians the power to decide what constitutes “acceptable” speech and what should be silenced, paving the way for a dystopian future where only certain viewpoints are allowed to be expressed. As we have seen time and time again, attempts to regulate speech almost always lead to the suppression of dissenting voices and the silencing anyone who counters the Regime’s narratives. By calling for greater federal intervention in the moderation of social media content, Clinton is essentially advocating for the establishment of a digital thought police, tasked with ensuring that only “approved” opinions are allowed to be shared online. The real solution to the challenges posed by social media is not more censorship and regulation, but rather a renewed commitment to fostering healthy, open, and free speech-aligned online communities. Platforms like Gab are leading the way in this endeavor, by providing a space where users can engage in honest, transparent, and sometimes difficult conversations without fear of retribution or censorship. As we face increasing attempts to regulate and censor the internet, it is more important than ever that we stand together in defense of this fundamental human right.
