Even conspiracy theories can be an opinion. If Warren had been able to motivate the mob, based on her legal opinion, that is also self serving to her, then this can become the seeds of a conspiracy theory, if she does not get her way. It is good to push back, after seeing the obvious end game. She is a lawyer trying to create a legal precedent using peer pressure.
Well technically all conspiracy theories are opinions. They’re conspiracy theories after all.
If by promoting certain conspiracy theories lead to people committing crimes or otherwise harming themselves or others, then it behooves social media platforms to try to mitigate the spread of such. If only to reassure their advertisers who don’t like being associated with such things.
(Good old capitalism, eh?)
Otherwise I don’t think such platforms care, really.
Again I’m jaded enough to not really believe a word any politician says publicly, even if I support their party
The work around to avoid censorship, can be for people, to claim in advance, this is what I think and this is my opinion. I am not claiming to know everything. If we avoid this disclaimer, we can use people tricks; tell people what they want to hear. But if we say this is an opinion, we can teach each other new tricks without any commitment. There is difference dynamics to the discussion.
I actually agree with you.
Politicians in general often do this daily even. Arguably it’s unavoidable to a large extent since politicians need to have open lines of communication to their fans (or at least be perceived as having such.) I mean politicians by default are constantly being scrutinised in the public spotlight. It’s just part of the job.
So they will try to say things that appease the public and/or their fans in general.
There is no direct quote in the Constitution that says the President is in charge educational financing. Or that an assigned and not elected bureaucrat in the Department of Education, can by-pass the duties of Congress who is in charge of spending tax money. Warren is making her claim based on a pattern of behavior; bureaucratic overreach, that has reached the end of its self life. The Supreme Court is making Congress more accountable. It can not longer have its cake and eat it to the detriment of the tax payer.
I’m not an American so I can’t comment either way.
Instead of giving the tax payer the shaft, why doesn't Warren address the fact that the university system ended up with all this student debt money?
Aiming for some PR points, like all politicians tend to do?
