I believe that the US government should determine what is and is not misinformation.
I believe the US government should prosecute me if I post what they have deemed to be misinformation.
I do not believe this power could be misused.
Now I'm a good Democrat.
None of this claptrap actually addresses any objections.
No one has argued you should be prosecuted for passing misinformation. So far as I know, no one here is a government agent, so you're probably safe; and I wouldn't prosecute you, but simply call your bullshit out, which is what's actually happening -- maybe don't martyr so much?
I think we each should ourselves be aware of misinfo and alert to the possibility of being manipulated..
And for what it's worth, I'm not a Democrat, but your inclusion of that gives clear optics as to where you are yourself coming from. Mindless partisan bullshit bereft of thought and insight.
It's funny that you have such a high opinion of your own thinking but cannot cleanse your post of such obvious sloppy thinking.
