Any Republican supporting this should be put in prison, ah yes, let's steamroll the scientific communities free speech with our "even freer speech™"
Your comment illustrates the problem perfectly...
You don't believe exactly as I do, do you should be in jail.
Yes enacting a law that bans organizations from research is the same as those organization marking FALSE information and VIOLENCE AS FALLSE INFORMATION AND VIOLENCE./S you glue eating asshole, I'm not saying they should be in jail for believing different things. I'm saying they should be in jail for undermining democracy by making it illegal to discuss the issue without catering to fascists. Gtfoh
Up-vote from me just so more people can see this drivel.
Well I'm sure you won't be receiving any, seeing as you're defending making laws against medical research that Republicans don't like
Medical research? Disinformation research has nothing to do with medical research. It may have something to do with the response to medical research, or the response to say a laptop from a pawn shop, or maybe the response to accusations of collusion with the Russian government.
Read the article please.
It doesn’t confirm their biases, so they’ll just ignore it if they even bother
That would require him to be able to read, unfortunately...
That's an interesting read, but after reading it I find nothing about a chilling effect on medical research, but I do find quite a bit about a chilling effect on how research is communicated to the public.
Those are completely different things.
Unfortunately, paywalled.
I'm sure you still won't get it but those paywalls aren't hard to bypass - https://web.archive.org/web/20230923115829/https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/23/online-misinformation-jim-jordan/
