U.S. Government Hold Talks About Future Of Alternative Media Websites
There is currently a big push to regulate or censor alternative independent media sites such as The Drudge Report, Infowars.com, Yournewswire.com, beforeitsnews.com and others.
Sites you would consider alternative to the mainstream will be one of the subjects of discussion by the FEC on Wednesday.
Specifically the FEC will hold a hearing on whether or not to regulate political speech on blogs, websites and YouTube video’s.
Websites that aren’t taken seriously and considered fringe, bizarre, or strange such as Davidicke.com, Godlikeproductions.com and others will be safe from any proposed regulation as they are deemed conspiracy/entertainment rather than political in nature and therefore harmless to the government.
Thetruthseeker.co.uk reports:
If you do not think that this could ever happen, you should consider what almost happened at the FEC last October…
In October, then FEC Vice Chairwoman Ann M. Ravel promised that she would renew a push to regulate online political speech following a deadlocked commission vote that would have subjected political videos and blog posts to the reporting and disclosure requirements placed on political advertisers who broadcast on television. On Wednesday, she will begin to make good on that promise.
“Some of my colleagues seem to believe that the same political message that would require disclosure if run on television should be categorically exempt from the same requirements when placed in the Internet alone,” Ravel said in an October statement. “As a matter of policy, this simply does not make sense.”
