Obama the man behind the curtain trying to control speech

 Fox News:

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard suggested that former President Barack Obama is behind the effort to establish a Disinformation Governance Board, which she likened to George Orwell's famed "Ministry of Truth."

"Biden is just a front man," Gabbard said on Twitter Sunday. "Obama, April 21: social media censors 'don’t go far enough,' so the government needs to step in to do the job. Six days later, Homeland Security rolls out the 'Ministry of Truth' (aka Disinformation Governance Board)."

Gabbard, a Democrat, was referencing Obama's speech at Stanford University last week, where he argued tech companies have a hard time moderating content on their own and called for more oversight.

"Now the good news is that almost all the big tech platforms now acknowledge some responsibility for content on their platforms, and they're investing in large team of people to monitor it," Obama said during the speech. "Given the sheer volume of content, this strategy can feel like a game of Whac-A-Mole."

Obama said he believes employees at the companies "are sincere" in trying to moderate violent content and hate speech, but argued more needs to be done to help the companies limit such posts.

"But while content moderation can limit the distribution of clearly dangerous content, it doesn't go far enough," Obama said.

Obama's comments come after the Biden administration created a Disinformation Governance Board to be run by the Department of Homeland Security, with the goal of combating online disinformation.

"The goal is to bring the resources of (DHS) together to address this threat," said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security Wednesday.

There is no need for speech police like the Democrats are trying to push.  They are just trying to suppress the ideas of those who are not leftist ideologues.  Some of the people pushing the scam are the same ones who pushed the Russian collusion hoax and the false stories saying Hunter's laptop was Russian misinformation.  Why in the world should anyone agree to put those people in charge of speech in this country.  Having "liar of the year Obama" behind the effort is another reason to oppose it.
