ADL-Backed Bipartisan Bill Threatens to Censor Israel Criticism on Social Media | Common Dreams

A bill introduced Wednesday, backed by the Anti-Defamation League, claims to target antisemitism on social media. But the two congressmen who introduced it have indicated it is also meant to force social media companies to silence criticism of Israel.

      Zionism predates the holocaust.

      And holocaust survivors are treated like shite in Israel.

      Those committing the genocide didn’t forget the holocaust, they learned how to do it.

      Yeah, but this Supreme Court doesn’t give a shit about the Constitution or consistent rulings, only partisan bullshit. Citizens United ruled that money is free speech, but they refused to rule on an anti-BDS law because they would have either had to rule against their ideology or explain how withholding money is not free speech.

      If a lower court rules in favor of the bill, they’ll decline to hear the case. If a lower court rules against it, I bet they’ll make up some bullshit about how the first amendment applies to journalism and public speech, but not private companies providing a service, even if that service is speech. They’re barely even trying to pretend that they’re not a partisan institution anymore.

    ADL is a racist Israeli lobbying organization that supports genocidal violence. They work to undermine civili rights and free speech in thne US. Who cares what they say or think-- and anyone who is a member should be doxed and boycotted in every way possible. They are enemies of the US people.
