#CapitolRiot #Trump #TrumpTwitter Biden's Surveillance State Is Already On Its Way

 #CapitolRiot #Trump #TrumpTwitter Activist, singer/songwriter, parent, writer, and organizer Evan Greer joins the show to discuss her op-ed for “Fast Company”:”You can’t fight fascism by expanding the police state.” (https://www.fastcompany.com/90592060/...) Greer warns of coming pushes for increased mass surveillance programs, increased funding for law enforcement, and mandated government access to encrypted messaging services. Of particular concern is Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which ensures that social platforms or other websites aren’t legally responsible for what their users post on their sites. Constitutional attorney, activist, organizer, and 2022 congressional candidate (CA-12) Shahid Buttar gives a brief overview of the ways that Section 230 ultimately protects users from overzealous moderation of their online speech, as it allows online platforms freedom to create loose or strict internal policies with the knowledge that they won’t be held liable for user-generated content. ***Please support The Katie Halper Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com***/thekatieha...
