Most Americans favor restrictions on false information, violent content online
Most Americans say the U.S. government and technology companies should each take steps to restrict false information and extremely violent content online.
65% of Americans support tech companies moderating false information online and 55% support the U.S. government taking these steps. These shares have increased since 2018. Americans are even more supportive of tech companies (71%) and the U.S. government (60%) restricting extremely violent content online.

I don't think this is really about censorship. You can say and advertise whatever you want, but after this if it can be proven false you have to pay the price. All it does is make people double check their facts and figures before they go shooting off random falsehoods.
What worries me is who defines what the truth is? Reality itself became political decades ago, probably starting with the existence of global warming and now such basic foundational facts as who won an election. If the government can punish "falsehood", what do you do if the GOP is in charge and they determine that "Biden won 2020" is such a falsehood?
This just another fake poll used to justify the biometrics requirement for internet connection.
This statement reads like "I'm angry people don't want me using botnets to push my agenda."
Biometrics? Comcast didn't even ask me for a drivers license. They asked me for a credit card to make a payment.
Also, frankly, last I checked, Pew Research is pretty much unrivaled in social science polling data, so not sure why you're calling it "fake."
I don't know how things function in the US, but here in Europe it's already pretty much a standard that average joes has totally the opposite opinion what media claims to be the result.
And when multiple other polls with multiple time more responders shows the opposite result, media is always silent.
Our politicians started to push biometrics / strong identificitation last year or this for every people who connects to internet. That's just step closer to that "you have no pricacy" conspiracy theory created by conpiracy theorist politicians.

That's unfortunate to hear, and I am not here to diminish your lived experience, but I can tell you that they're not pushing for biometric ID in the US to log on to the internet, and this poll is from a well-respected, well-known to be unbiased research group in the US who does polling data for US households and US issues and has for decades.
So in respect to this thread, your feelings on that have next to nothing to do with this discussion.
Well, that's good to hear then. Hopefully it stays on that track. EU and US is banning encrypted messaging currently at the same time though. And India already illegalized them, but Indian people says that so far it hasn't affected anybody by any means.

quelle surprise that your comment history is full of right-wing, crank, Great Reset (((globalist))) stuff:
Haha it is funny that you oppose only with the arguments you read from fact checkers instead of going to Youtube and see what those globalists says by themselves. In every country the top politicians goes regularly to their meetings who talks harsh things directly and all you know is that all they talked is a conspiracy theory. You always repeat the sentences who nobody actually said, expect fact checkers. Lol
Year 2030 is a global target for renovations in every aspects of societies and countries.
Let’s hope the successor of Rutte isn’t a WEF muppet and will stop the closure of farms.
Wow I didn’t realize you hollandaises love WEF-puppets, 15 min cities and Rutte’s lies even after he got nailed by Gideon van Meijeren in the parliament. Well, have fun with your 11 200 closed farmlands then. Luckily the puppets haven’t planned that in here, but most likely it’ll happen here too.
15 min cities as a consept was invented in the Soviet Union by Stalin.
A broken clock is right twice a day, though. Being required by law to present real-life ID to use things online has been seriously proposed and is likely to be attached to must-pass legislation.
So what? You can't even prove any of your "conspiracy" claims wrong. All you can do is to restrict other peoples freedom of speech.
If you've got different opinions, then debate with arguments. Currently all you have capabilities is just very low iq monkey business. But naturally that's your choice how you want to play. Don't expect me to give you any credits for that.
