Former Chair of FEC Proposes Repressive Internet Regulation
The current hysteria over Internet privacy brings us good news and bad. Good: Facebook could perish. Bad: it would be destroyed by something even worse — repressive Internet regulation:
Ann Ravel, the former Democratic chair of the Federal Election Commission who controversially pushed to regulate the internet during her time leading the commission, is now suggesting a new government enforcement agency be established to help tech companies discover questionable communications from social media sites in an effort to find alleged disinformation campaigns.
Ravel made the suggestions in a recent Atlantic essay titled “How the Government Could Fix Facebook,” which featured insights from a number of experts and suggestions such as imposing fines for data breaches, making tech companies liable for objectionable content, and installing ethics review boards.
Ravel wants to expand the definition of “election advertising” to enable more censorship. She says that “communications could be examined for their intent.” If the P.C. bureaucracy ascribes to you an incorrect intent, you may be silenced.
Forcing all content to pass through censors and holding Fakebook accountable for any thought crimes it is used to commit would render it a sclerotic arm of the federal bureaucracy. Unfortunately, the rest of the Internet would likely follow.
