Most Americans favor restrictions on false information, violent content online

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't think this is really about censorship. You can say and advertise whatever you want, but after this if it can be proven false you have to pay the price. All it does is make people double check their facts and figures before they go shooting off random falsehoods.
This just another fake poll used to justify the biometrics requirement for internet connection.
This statement reads like "I'm angry people don't want me using botnets to push my agenda."
Biometrics? Comcast didn't even ask me for a drivers license. They asked me for a credit card to make a payment.
Also, frankly, last I checked, Pew Research is pretty much unrivaled in social science polling data, so not sure why you're calling it "fake."
I don't know how things function in the US, but here in Europe it's already pretty much a standard that average joes has totally the opposite opinion what media claims to be the result.
And when multiple other polls with multiple time more responders shows the opposite result, media is always silent.
Our politicians started to push biometrics / strong identificitation last year or this for every people who connects to internet. That's just step closer to that "you have no pricacy" conspiracy theory created by conpiracy theorist politicians.
That's unfortunate to hear, and I am not here to diminish your lived experience, but I can tell you that they're not pushing for biometric ID in the US to log on to the internet, and this poll is from a well-respected, well-known to be unbiased research group in the US who does polling data for US households and US issues and has for decades.
So in respect to this thread, your feelings on that have next to nothing to do with this discussion.
Well, that's good to hear then. Hopefully it stays on that track. EU and US is banning encrypted messaging currently at the same time though. And India already illegalized them, but Indian people says that so far it hasn't affected anybody by any means.
quelle surprise that your comment history is full of right-wing, crank, Great Reset (((globalist))) stuff:
A broken clock is right twice a day, though. Being required by law to present real-life ID to use things online has been seriously proposed and is likely to be attached to must-pass legislation.
So what? You can't even prove any of your "conspiracy" claims wrong. All you can do is to restrict other peoples freedom of speech.
If you've got different opinions, then debate with arguments. Currently all you have capabilities is just very low iq monkey business. But naturally that's your choice how you want to play. Don't expect me to give you any credits for that.
Do you still claim I'm wrong? https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/1409/text?format=txt&__cf_chl_tk=7hekwl2v7un8laqs_ljluymfbrh4fit9vioaabkj0zq-1690308859-0-ganycgznc3s
