> Censoring foreign political influence and misinformation campaigns is just sane policy.
That would be true if there were objective definitions of "foreign political influence" and "misinformation campaigns".
But there isn't. One can wave their hands and say any information falls into those categories.
What rubbish. A foreign bad actor declares they specifically want to feed your people propaganda through a specific communication channel. Do you need more than two brain cells to decide whether that's an influence campaign?
What is rubbish is your inability to see the subjectivity in “bad actor” and “influence campaign”.
I can wave my hand and make that claim about anything.
“Oh those evil Americans and their influence campaign on free speech rights!”
