They're pushing for censorship on social media, but I wouldn't say that has extended to the internet as a whole. Nobody's asking for email filters or website blacklisting.

Not yet. They're all for payment discrimination though[1], which IMHO is as extreme as things can get anyway.

It goes well beyond social media, and internet. There are coordinated attacks by organizations with huge financial backings against political dissidents socially, financially and politically. Social media censorship is only the beginning. They already have come for people's livelihoods, bank accounts, jobs etc. Total castration seems like the end goal.

What is your definition of far-left? Democrats? Because the latter are not left in any sense of the word, beyond being more "liberal" than the far-right Republicans.

No leftists I know push for platform-provided censorship, because that inevitably harms left voices; eg: facebook taking down Crimethinc and It's Going Down: https://crimethinc.com/2020/08/19/on-facebook-banning-pages-...

Can you back up that only far left groups are against hate and misinformation? Those topics seem like topic that everyone would be against?

(Writing this from the EU, where most of the people have watched the past US election season with... "amazement". Especially the way in which both sides seem to feel they are the oppressed side.)

They posted those words in quotation marks. They're also subjective and prone to being defined by those with power.

It'll be interesting to see how EU/Western Europe copes over the next 20 years, if they cope at all.

Can you back up? Dude, pull your head out of the ground. Liberals are a dying breed. Liberalism is dying.

I think you're confusing technocratic liberal weirdos with "the far left." Look up the World Socialist Web Site's long-running feud with Google, or read any Jacobin article about free speech/tech. There are very few genuine progressives who endorse policing "misinformation."

technocratic liberal, as in Communists? The word for them are Communists.

Liberals are a dying breed.

I encourage you to engage with the outlets I mentioned. Regardless of the terms you choose to use, I hope you can appreciate how actual left wing organizations are at odds with the censorship measures called for by the New York Times, Silicon Valley, DC think tanks, etc. You can't fight an enemy if you can't even name it properly.

Most leftists, progressives & liberals are socially non-separable - both knee deep in CRT, censorship, twisting facts and outright lying the same way conservatives do.

ML's are probably the only ones who have any ideas of their own and support certain levels of freedoms at least.

After you been given references to outlets that are indisputably both on the far-left and prominent who hold the opposite opinion, you assert as a response that all far-left groups are inseparable and hold the opinion that both the WSWS (the oldschool Fourth International socialists) and Jacobin (the newschool Bernie-boosting 2016 socialists) publicly disagree with.

That's a complete aversion to evidence.

In the USA, liberals are those that support the Bill of Rights. The Democratic Party is made up of Liberals, and those that call themselves Progressives. I'm a Liberal, the Progressives scare me, as they are for complete Government bureaucratic control of everything. Biden won as a moderate, not a Progressive, but if he picks up that torch, I don't know what happens.
