Executive Order on Free Speech: A Swing and a Miss
The White House executive order on “restoring freedom of speech” aims to scrutinize federal censorship, but misses vital transparency. Instead of ensuring full First Amendment protection, it leans towards political vendetta with its time-limited focus. A true commitment to free speech would demand transparency and a nonpartisan investigation.
Hot Take:
In a stunning display of political theater, the White House has issued an executive order that promises to liberate your Twitter feed from the shackles of government interference…unless, of course, you were hoping for transparency, accountability, or any real change. In that case, you’re fresh out of luck! It’s like ordering a gourmet meal and getting a bag of chips instead—only less satisfying.
Key Points:
- The executive order aims to investigate alleged government suppression of speech over the past four years, particularly on social media.
- It criticizes previous administrations for purportedly infringing on First Amendment rights under the guise of fighting misinformation.
- Glaringly absent from the order is any commitment to transparency or public reporting of its findings.
- The investigation is limited to the last four years, conveniently sidestepping broader, historical governmental influences.
- Critics argue the order is more about political score-settling than genuinely protecting free speech.
