Liberals in the Golden State have come up with yet another way to expand authoritarian control over the people who live there. It’s known as Senate Bill 1424, and it would basically eliminate all independent press in California, dubbing any information that establishment politicians disagree with as “fake news.”
If it ends up passing and being signed into law, SB 1424 will mandate that the California Attorney General create an advisory committee by April 1, 2019, to police the information that’s spread via social media and other platforms to determine whether or not it’s “true.” The state’s ministry of propaganda will then come up with a plan of attack to eliminate anything that’s deemed “false.”
Since “fake news” is a subjective term that varies in its substance depending on who you ask, there’s no real way to police it. But California politicians sure are going to try, and what it will mean (based on the vast majority of their political leanings) is the silencing of all dissenting viewpoints that don’t fit whatever official narrative the government is trying to push.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a freedom advocacy group, is vehemently opposed to the bill, having called it both “flawed” and “misguided.” Because there are already laws on the books that hold news outlets accountable whenever they print defamatory material, there’s simply no need to establish a ministry of “truth” that’s tasked with authoritatively declaring what information does and does not qualify as such.
“The group argues the measure would make the government and advisory group responsible for deciding what is true or false,” explains EFF about its position. “It also points out the First Amendment prevents content-based restrictions, even if the statements of ‘admittedly false.’”
Another California bill, AB 155, is attempting to force public school teachers to indoctrinate students about “fake news”
