Now that Joe Biden is elected for president he's going to assign a task force to stop online harassment, extremism, and violence against women. And if Joe Biden is saying he's going to censor the internet and let some controversial people get involved to censor it more than China, it's never a good sign. What if they go after Know Your Meme next?

The only immediate red flag is the mention of "threats". Online threats, with rare exceptions, are empty. They're also very easy to fake, if not outright lie about.

I expect that if this actually goes anywhere, it will be quickly rendered completely useless by professional victims complaining that random nobodies called them mean names.

We don't know anything that's going to happen yet. He's not even in office either. The election STILL isn't over, and let's not jump to conclusions. Only time will tell.

I think it should be said that targeted harassment, death threats, and trying to instigate terrorist attacks aren't exactly what most people think of when they think Free Speech. There's a big difference between censoring anything that makes China look bad and going after political extremists and mass shootings.

Our algorithms from the Chingchongdingdong Centre for Glorious Class Struggle have identified you as a political extremist and potential mass shooter. Prepare to be defenestrated.

The last six months have only reenforced the idea that a lot of people vote Joe in spite of his platform, his people and himself.
