The County Commission of Polk County, Florida will be voting this morning on a resolution to shut off public comments on the county’s social media sites, claiming that they are doing so because “the county’s comment sections became hotbeds for incorrect information, personal attacks, and vulgar comments.” The county defines incorrect information as being anything contrary to what they say.
What happening is people are going to government websites and calling out their governments for spreading incorrect and misleading information about taxes and budgeting in the fight for Amendment 3. Fighting fascism by silencing the public.
Remember when Trump did this, and a judge ruled it was unconstitutional to block a public forum? It was Knight First Amendment Institute v. Trump (May 23, 2018)
