At first, I thought this video had to be a spoof because the promoted viewpoint is, well, bizarre for a westerner to say out loud.  Then I realized this guy isn’t joking – he’s deadly serious.

Billionaire Shlomo Kramer says, “I know it’s difficult to hear, but it’s time to limit the First Amendment in order to protect it.” When asked what that means, Kramer responds, “I mean that we need to control the platforms, all the social platforms. We need to stack rank the authenticity of every person that expresses themselves online and take control of what they are saying based on that ranking.”

When asked by who? “The government should do that, yes.” WATCH:

This is absurd totalitarian thinking.

Every month it becomes more challenging to push back against these insufferable control agents both inside and outside government.  What Shlomo Kramer is advocating for is digital fascism, where private industry collaborates with government to control the flow of information and speech on the internet.

Get stuffed Mr. Kramer!
