Reply to On Facebook, Visual Misinfo Widespread. In the runup to the 2020 U.S. Presidential election visual misinformation was widespread across the platform, and that it was highly asymmetric across party lines, with right-leaning images five to eight times more likely to be misleading. by Wagamaga

That all depends which metric you use to determine "misinformation". Example, as a constitutionalist, I've said it's unlawful to force the population into vaccines, which at the time was "misinformation"...but several lawsuits later and what appears to be many more to come, it turns out I was right. Fyi: I don't really care about being right, I care about our freedom and I love my fellow man. And since Ive studied the constitution quite a bit more than the average Joe, I can confidently make such claims ahead of SCOTUS, and feel that I'm obliged to let others know.

Reply to Tolerance for the Free Speech of Outgroup Partisans [Both sides of the political divide expressed high overall levels of support for free speech - Republicans more so than Democrats] by i_have_thick_loads

Free speech is an expression of free thought, which in turn is an expression of Freedom. And as a huge fan of freedom, I respect your right to say negative things about me. I say negative, instead of hurtful, because it's more objective. No one has the ability to look into the soul of each individual to determine what is hurtful to them, and as such, no law should be passed to limit such speech, in general.
