Censorship Advocates Join New Council to ‘Fix’ Social Media
13th October 2022
Public figures who have consistently called for more censorship online joined a new council Wednesday to “fix” social media.
The Council for Responsible Social Media, a project of Issue One, was publicly launched with their website saying it was created to address “the negative mental, civic, and public health impacts of social media in America.”
Members of the council include former Senator-turned-MSNBC pundit Claire McCaskill (D-MO), former Clinton chief of staff and Obama CIA Director and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, and Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen. All have called for increased online censorship in the past.
