The man who promised to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” is back at it. In an address at Stanford University last week, former President Barack Obama called for the government to regulate free speech.
Despite
describing himself as “pretty close to a First Amendment absolutist,” Mr. Obama
outlined an approach whereby private sector social media’s own efforts at what
he euphemistically called “content management” would be regulated by
governmental authorities so as to control the dissemination of
“disinformation.”
It’s
hard to overstate the menacing implications of such an arrangement for our
constitutional republic. Obama characterized the exercise of free expression by
a domestic political opponent as “flood[ing] the public square with…raw
sewage.” Such an impetus for censorship is not a characteristic of a First
Amendment absolutist, but someone absolutely determined to silence speech of
which he does not approve.
