I can't believe I hadn't heard about this!! The Digital Platform Commission Act of 2023 goes beyond the Ministry of Truth; this is a must watch! We need to watch if this passes in ANY form.
A new bill proposed in the U.S. will allow the government to track users online and allow so-called “disinformation experts” to rule on what are called “behavioral codes.” The Digital Platform Commission Act of 2023 would establish a new federal agency that could “organize hearings, investigations, assess fines and establish rules through engagement in public rule-making.” The agency could designate some platforms as being more important than others and subject those to extra oversight and regulation.
