Prohibit the FBI from working on misinformation
What the document says“Prohibit the FBI from engaging, in general, in activities related to combating the spread of so-called misinformation and disinformation by Americans who are not tied to any plausible criminal activity.”
The chapter says the government has no business policing speech, that the First Amendment prohibits it, and asks for a hard firewall between monitoring online activity for threats or evidence of crime, which it treats as legitimate, and asking or demanding that publishers remove material based on content or viewpoint, which it says the department must not do.
What the document actually says“Prohibit the FBI from engaging, in general, in activities related to combating the spread of so-called misinformation and disinformation by Americans who are not tied to any plausible criminal activity.”
Stop the FBI working on false claims spread by Americans. Unless a crime is involved.
The FBI has worked on false claims spread online. The book says that is not its job. It says the government must not police speech.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
