If Joe and that other person get the WH then freedom of speech will definitely be no more! Deplatforming will probably be the least of our worries! The CCP seems to have a lot of influence over this President wanna be and his team.
‘Richard Stengel, the head of the Joe Biden transition team for US state media outlets, is an outspoken supporter of “hate speech” laws, social media censorship, and other means that restrict or editorialize people’s speech.
Stengel was recently named on the Biden transition website as team lead for the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) – a US government-owned agency that’s responsible for operating several state-owned media outlets which include Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
USAGM also funds the Open Technology Fund which describes its mission as “support open technologies and communities that increase free expression, circumvent censorship, and obstruct repressive surveillance as a way to promote human rights and open societies.”
Yet Stengel’s past statements and roles show that he has a history of advocating for the suppression of speech based on censorship buzzwords such as hate speech, “disinformation,” and “misinformation.”
In 2019, Stengel wrote an opinion piece for The Washington Post titled “Why America needs a hate speech law.” In the article, Stengel suggests that hate speech “undermines the values that the First Amendment was designed to protect” and calls for states to “experiment with their own version of hate speech statutes to penalize speech that deliberately insults people based on religion, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation.”
Stengel has also claimed that several of the President’s statements are hate speech and tweeted that if America were to adopt a hate speech law, “the President might be in violation of it.”
In addition to advocating for hate speech laws, Stengel has also called for a rethinking of the First Amendment.’https://reclaimthenet.org/joe-biden-richard-stengel-hate-speech-first-amendment/
