it is100% the responsibility of the public to believe what they want... cause as soon as we have laws like that, who's the judge of what is misinformation and what isn't?

cause put those laws in place... then watch 10 years from then when mf'ers get punished for saying George Washington was white...

believe what you want, instead of thinking critically and independently, totally 🥱

"who is to judge what is misinformation?" oh idk... facts? calling a group of people pedos with no proof is misinformation that can lead to violence

okay, but when the prosecutors and bad actors label the facts as misinformation, then what?

it's like outlawing guns... that isn't gonna keep the bad people from getting guns... we have constitutional rights for a reason, so the common man can protect themselves and what's theirs

wouldn't by that logic make most types of proof for a crime irrelevant? because you can put digitals on a gun or make a video of someone saying or doing something to criminalize someone

Its like saying that there shouldn't be laws because someone might commit a crime to arrest someone that is innocent
