Authoritarians Hate Dissent

As we read here, the Biden regime wants Big Tech firms to crack down on “misinformation” about climate change.

We can’t have people doubting government policy on that, now can we? And why not also crack down on misinformation about the causes of inflation? The consequences of minimum-wage increases? The need to relieve students of their college-loan debt?

If the First Amendment’s prohibition of governmental meddling with freedom of speech is not kept as an absolute, it will rapidly erode away entirely, much as other restrictions on federal action have, especially the limits on spending.
