That California law is silly and unconstitutional, and I'm glad it's being challenged.
Misinformation is a real problem though. We're incredibly lucky to have First Amendment protection, and we CAN use those rights to say whatever we want, but that doesn't mean we SHOULD. Whether false information is intended to be deceptive or satirical, gullible people can fall for it, especially when it's screenshotted or aggregated out of its original context. Remember when Donald Trump fell for a satirical Babylon Bee article? To borrow Ken's words, there are a LOT of unsophisticated news consumers online "who apparently have no sense of nuance or humor."
Social media tends to decontextualize content and distort reality, so maybe the well-meaning folks at the Babylon Bee and The Onion need to think about whether their business model is accidentally harming our political discourse.
Agree totally with Paul on Fauci A-Z
Needed
To bad others in Senate wont back him on issues
Prosecute Fauci for these crimes:
Wuhan Virus 2019+
Lockdowns
Mask mandates
Millions killed worldwide by then virus
No leadership
For the $$$$$ only
His crimes= War Crimes Level alone
