If we can believe the survey, this is shocking, and will require some thinking, even rethinking. The Pew Research Center, a Washington think tank conducted an online poll covering over 5,000 US adults. It found that the majority of those surveyed did not support the First Amendment protections for free speech. In particular, 55 percent of people held that the government should restrict “false” information online, even if doing so prevents people from “publishing or accessing information.” 55 percent of Americans said in response to the poll. Only 42 percent disagreed. The opposition to free speech came primarily from Democrat voters rather than conservatives. This is an indication of the in-roads that the Left have made into culture, having now established a hegemony.
It is necessary to make progress in opposing this, as the enemy is growing stringer by the day. The opposition should have happened long ago, but it seems conservatives only really fight hard in the 11th hour. My guess is that here would be a similar result if people were polled in Australia, but there does not seem to be a parallel survey.
