Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) argued during Tuesday night's vice presidential debate with Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) that conservatives are criticizing the government on coronavirus-related issues. , suggested his speech should have been censored and made light of social media censorship. It's the same as shouting “fire!'' in a “full theater.''
“The idea that there is censorship to stop people from threatening to kill someone or threatening to do something is not censorship. Censorship is banning books,” Walz said during Tuesday's vice presidential debate. I mentioned it at the meeting.

Walz then asked Vance if he thought former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
“Tim, I'm focused on the future. Did Kamala Harris censor Americans from speaking their minds in response to the 2020 coronavirus situation?” Vance responded. Ta.
Mr. Walz also accused Mr. Vance of an “extraordinary non-response,” to which President Trump's running mate responded, “Not talking about censorship is an outrageous non-response.”
“Obviously, I think Donald Trump and I had issues in 2020. We've talked about it, and I'd like to talk more about it, but you're right that under U.S. governance, you've got the most sacred right, democracy. They're attacking us for not believing in 'democracy is the First Amendment,''' Vance elaborated.
“You yourself have stated that you do not have a First Amendment right to misinformation,” Vance told Walz. “Kamala Harris wants to use the power of government and big tech to prevent people from speaking their minds. It's a threat to democracy and will continue to prolong this current political moment.” It will happen.”
Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate then refuted Vance's claims with a commonplace statement that many on the left use as an excuse to censor speech, saying, “I don't want to hear someone say “Fire'' in a crowded theater.'' I can't scream.''
“Tim, a ‘fire’ in a packed theater? “You guys wanted to kick people off Facebook who said young children shouldn't wear masks,” Vance responded. “It's not 'arson' in a packed theater, it's criticizing government policy, and that's the right of every American.”
Mr. Walz replied, “Well, I don't run Facebook.”
However, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in August that the Biden-Harris administration would require the company to censor certain coronavirus-related content in 2021, including “human satire.” The government appears to be exerting effective control over Facebook, as it has admitted to exerting pressure on the company.
Columnist Sohrab Ahmari criticized X in response to Walz's earlier comments that focused on “banning books,” saying the bigger issue at hand is that the government is even intervening in the 2020 election. He pointed out that this involved censorship of speech.
“No, I’m sorry, Governor Walz, but censorship is not “banning books.” It's a trivial or non-existent problem. “Censors are being used by Twitter and Facebook to censor America's oldest daily newspaper, the New York Post, founded by Alexander Hamilton, for its reporting on the lab leak and the Hunter laptop,” Ahmari said.
As reported by Breitbart News, Mr. Zuckerberg announced that Facebook would be the first to report that the company had announced that it would not be able to do so ahead of the 2020 election after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) “warned” of a “possible Russian disinformation operation.” He also admitted to killing Hunter Biden's bombshell article about his “laptop from hell.”
And, of course, the FBI's claims of “Russian disinformation” were later proven to be false.
