Haley continued, saying she fears a rise in anonymous social media accounts could lead to widespread misinformation and potentially pose a national security threat.
How about abolishing fox news, then?
“Every person on social media should be verified by their name. It’s a national security threat," she said.
We have people on Fox News, NewsMax, Daily Liar, talk radio, Alex Jones etc who lie all the time and spread misinformation and their names are verified. Doesn’t seem to stop them, dipshit.
that is a very low effort and bad faith argument for what she is arguing for
Imagine rhetorically competent fascists. That’s terrifying!
The common rabble can’t see through their flimsy lies as is. They’d be completely out of their depth if republicans took even just an introductory class to discussion and rhetorics.
I don’t think she thinks it’s going to stop it. The idea is to limit it. There were media personalities spewing lying shit before the internet. And I think it’s hard to argue we aren’t going backwards in terms of how much people buy complete nonsense, and the only thing I can reasonably attribute that to is the rise of the internet. It’s that fake news is easy to make and even easier to disseminate.
I’m not sure if getting rid of anonymity on the internet is the answer, but it’s a discussion that worth having, and not just dismissing with insults.
Nah, dude. It’s totally worth dismissing with insults. It absolutely will not prevent misinformation online, but can be used to track people, particularly useful if you think some political views make people “vermin”.
Stupid time

For those keeping score:
Foreign bots on social media: bad
Foreign money being used to finance political campaigns, lobbying, etc.: totally fine
(Note: I agree bot farms are bad, but that is a very low effort and bad faith argument for what she is arguing for)

You sound like you think you’re really above a lot of people here. Be careful with that, its how they got there.
It was a deliberate choice of words intended to reflect and emphasise what they might think of the average voter. But good looking out.
She’s just pandering to the Elon crowd.
Meanwhile Trump calls everyone left of Hitler “vermin”. Yeah, anonymity definitely seems like something they wouldn’t want, but we all really need.

She’s not a serious person. I will insult people who promote her ideology.
So mindless hate. Good for you.
Why is it mindless hate? She’s a liar.
Because you’ve made up your mind and it doesn’t matter what she says, you’ll reject it because “she’s a liar.”
It’s embarrassing that this needs to be explained. Although no doubt you’ll feel justified in your close mindedness.
I’m sorry, a person who lies for a living is…wait for it…a liar.
It’s pretty simple: she can be a liar and you can be close minded. They literally have no bearing on each other.
