Senate Democrats introduced a bill on Thursday that would make Facebook liable for “misinformation” about the global pandemic. The Health Misinformation Act , introduced by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), would use the Department of Health and Human Services to open social media platforms like Facebook up to liability for misinformation about COVID-19 and the COVID vaccine.
Section 230 currently protects social media platforms from liability for illegal content posted by third-party users.

Period.”Experts are concerned about the power the bill would give the Department of Health and Human Services.“What could go wrong?” Jeff Kosseff, an Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity Law at the U.S. Naval Academy, tweeted .“What happens when there is an HHS secretary who has very different views about what is “health misinformation?” And the First Amendment…” he continued .

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
