WATCH: Don Lemon advocates for social media censorship

In an interview with CNN’s New Day on Wednesday, fellow CNN host Don Lemon mentioned that some individuals on social do not “face enough consequences,” and advocated for a degree of censorship of these customers.

“Facebook always says, well, you know, we walk a line between, you know, letting people — the free and fair flow of information. There are ways to do that,” mentioned Lemon.

“We figured out ways to do that, most people in legacy media, not everybody in legacy media, because there are people and propaganda networks in legacy media that spread BS and don’t face enough consequences.”

“But I do think that social media, just like any other media company, especially legacy media and traditional media, there should be — they should pay some sort of consequences, and they should be regulated,” Lemon continued.

“That’s just at the very least what you put on there should be true and if it’s not true, then it should be actionable,” he added.

The query of social media censorship has as soon as once more been dropped at the forefront following Facebook “whistleblower” Frances Haugen’s testimony earlier than Congress this week.

Haugen had beforehand leaked paperwork to the Wall Street Journal, who then was in a position to publish a sequence of articles dubbed The Facebook Files, which dove into the inside workings of the social media big.

In a 60 Minutes section this week, Haugen criticized Facebook for lack of censorship regardless of Facebook actively banning people that maintain conservative rules from their platforms. Haugen acknowledged there must be extra censorship and that Facebook was deceptive traders.

She blamed Facebook for contributing to the January 6 riot on the US Capitol regardless of the FBI’s investigation which revealed there was no “insurrection” or coordinated assault.
