To prevent false information.

Ervin Guinn

False statements and lies should not be presented as facts from either side of the political spectrum. If it takes government intervention to stop this misinformation, then that's the way it should be.

Can not allow our freedom of speech to be tampered with at all !!!!! All they are doing is damage control protecting themselves

Nothing people are talking about is the government's business. They need to sit and shut up. Maybe they could try listening instead.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson comments that First Amendment “hamstrings" government. What a terrible thing for a Justice to say. She would happily remove our First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.

Vernon Taylor

And we all know why she's there.

Way more time on new media.

Switched to YouTube from Cable like it so much better because of what we normally watch is programmed for us.

I'd say it's like 60/40 in favor of things like user generated content, but it has more to do with time than anything else. Due to things like work and chores, I just don't have time during the day for movies/TV. But for a few hours in the evening, I tend to watch more movies/TV, which I prefer.

This is one of those where I'm voting the honest truth, even though I'd prefer it be the other (while still making time for Geekvolution, of course). I think it's because of how casually I can spend hours on YouTube, as opposed to being intentional about catching up on content I intend to consume.
