“Misinformation” as category is problematic for a number of reasons. “Inciting violence” concept is within my academic realm and requires cause-effect evidence/data. Thus far, none of the woke claims of “inciting violence” are legitimate in my opinion. “Hate Speech” - I am short and I hate people who are tall, (not really). What is wrong with expressing my hatred against others? “Explicit Call for violence or physical harm” - is the only category I consider harmful. Media platforms need to have numbered rules with an example of a sentence that breaks each rule. Platform discipline towards user violation needs to (a) Include quote of offending sentence, (b) Reference to rule that was violated, (c) Explanation of how sentence broke rule.

I wrote down numerous sentences from April 23 Goldblatt discussion. All sentences sounded normal to me. Public Health/APA were supposed to create new words for trans people, rather than allow existing language to be appropriated and redefined. My Dec 2022 letter to AG Garland addresses this. If I send new letter to media platform CEO’s; I will forward to Loury/McWhorter.
