@wendyndavis Yep. You got it right. The FCC has authority to interpret the words in the Communications Act, including those in Section 230 that apply to tech companies, and it should exercise that interpretive authority.🍎 The FCC does not have authority to stop Musk from buying Twitter.🍊 — PolitiTweet.org

Free speech is not a threat to democracy—censoring it is. — PolitiTweet.org

@antoniogm This is one of the reasons why Twitter’s censorship is so misguided. No one is being forced to listen to someone else’s ideas. This isn’t Bird Box. Deciding that an idea should be entirely memory holed—that no one should be free *to choose* to listen to it—that’s a problem. https://t.co/wECkvn7pln — PolitiTweet.org

The FCC has zero authority to block Musk’s purchase of Twitter. And it is particularly frivolous to ask the agency to do so in the name of protecting free speech and open debate. https://t.co/bOB4LpEvlB — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

It’s not that powerful gatekeepers don’t want to hear political views that diverge from their own. They can just mute or unfollow accounts. It’s more fundamental than that. They don’t want those divergent views to exist. Anywhere. Or be heard by anyone. https://t.co/tqd78rmxbs — PolitiTweet.org

Normal people are seeing right through the attempt by gatekeepers to equate free expression with terrorist speech. The game is up. Political censorship is a tool that those in power use to suppress any challenge to their positions or orthodoxy. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Head fakes and hand waving. That’s how a lot of people are reacting to news that Elon Musk might support the free expression of political views on Twitter. https://t.co/UxOrcpSYBP — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

There is no suppression of political speech. Period. Ok. There *is* suppression of political speech but it is the good, call it pro-democracy kind of suppression because it memory holes opinions that diverge from an approved orthodoxy. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

The pro-censorship crowd is running a straw man argument. They say that @Twitter must stick with its current approach to moderation or unleash a flood of terrorist speech & illegal content. This is a false choice that ignores the issue: suppression of core political speech. https://t.co/kjwspFCEXI — PolitiTweet.org

Great to reconnect with Godfrey and his National Tribal Telecommunications Association team here in DC. With the right policies, we have the chance to end the digital divide that persists on tribal lands. https://t.co/OIheWijpbN — PolitiTweet.org

“Diversity of opinion is the lifeblood of democracy…. The minute we begin to insist that everyone think the same way we think, our democratic way of life is in danger.” - New York Times editorial board member John Oakes in 1954. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

While I hope that @Twitter takes a turn towards free speech and away from political censorship, we can and must do more than hope. We should enact common sense, pro-speech reforms that prevent discrimination against core, protected speech. — PolitiTweet.org
