If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. In a statement issued on the occasion of the “International Day for Countering Hate Speech,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for the global eradication of so-called “hate speech,” which he described as inherently toxic and entirely intolerable. The issue of censoring “hate speech” stirs significant controversy, primarily due to the nebulous and subjective nature of its definition. At the heart of the debate is a profound concern: whoever defines what constitutes hate speech essentially holds the power to determine the limits of free expression. This power, wielded without stringent checks and balances, leads to excessive censorship and suppression of dissenting voices, which is antithetical to the principles of a democratic society. Guterres highlighted the historic and ongoing damage caused by hate speech, citing devastating examples such as Nazi Germany, Rwanda, and Bosnia to suggest that speech leads to violence and even crimes against humanity. “Hate speech is a marker of discrimination, abuse, violence, conflict, and even crimes against humanity. We have time and again seen this play out from Nazi Germany to Rwanda, Bosnia and beyond. There is no acceptable level of hate speech; we must all work to eradicate it completely,” Guterres said. Guterres also noted what he suggested are the worrying rise of antisemitic and anti-Muslim sentiments, which are being propagated both online and by prominent figures. Guterres argued that countries are legally bound by international law to combat incitement to hatred while simultaneously fostering diversity and mutual respect. He urged nations to uphold these legal commitments and to take action that both prevents hate speech and safeguards free expression. The UN General Assembly marked June 18 as the “International Day for Countering Hate Speech” in 2021. Guterres has long promoted online censorship, complaining about the issue of online “misinformation” several times, describing it as “grave” and suggesting the creation of an international code to tackle it. His strategy involves a partnership among governments, tech giants, and civil society to curb the spread of “false” information on social media, despite risks to free speech.

The Democratic-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee's chairman has sounded the alarm about the so-called threats looming over the 2024 presidential election: artificial intelligence and disinformation. On Tuesday, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) claimed that these threats—which he suggested were imminent—would transform the election into “Wild, Wild West.”  Warner made these comments during an event with The Christian Science Monitor, where he addressed Murthy v. Missouri, a pending Supreme Court case set to determine if the federal government violated the First Amendment by coercing Big Tech platforms to censor Americans. Warner’s alarm comes after his failed attempts to stoke fears about foreign interference in the 2024 election. “We may be less prepared 155 days out in 2024 than we were under President Trump (in 2020),” he told the Associated Press earlier this month. Conveniently, an unnamed official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has briefed political candidates and government groups about what the left deemed to be increasing risks facing the presidential election, according to The Associated Press. Warner told the Monitor that ODNI had briefed his committee with several “good sessions in SCIFs [secure rooms] and with our hearings.” Recalling the meetings, Warner claimed, “I’m feeling better.” Despite the lack of concrete evidence for the alleged threats of AI and disinformation, the Virginia senator asserted he would continue to raise the alarm about potential challenges.  “This is something I’m going to try to elevate in the debate: how we can potentially be more proactive on some of these entities and sites,” Warner added. In May, Warner told an audience at the  RSA Conference for Information Security that the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI—two agencies embroiled in the Murthy case—had resumed their ongoing Big Tech collusion about censoring online content. “There seemed to be a lot of sympathy that the government ought to have at least voluntary communications with [the companies],” he claimed at the time, according to tech news outlet NextGov/FCW.

For the Tuesday installment of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, Marlon Wayans broke out his Quan character as he interviewed former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade to ask if the affair with D.A. Fani Willis was worth ending democracy. Wayans began by asking, “What was your first thought when you had the affair with Fani become public between you and here?” Wade did not like the word, “I don't label it an affair. D.A. Willis is a respectable mother, a brilliant legal mind. We spent countless hours preparing this case, investigating this case—” Since Wayans was playing a character, he never asked Wade explicitly about whether the tradeoff was worth it. Instead, he would try to make things awkward by using heavy irony and sarcasm to point out that none of Wade’s inside legal baseball talk explains the affair, “I see it all happen, countless hours, and I need a foot rub, and, you know what I mean? She rubbed your foot like ‘here, let me give you a massage’ and all of a sudden we up on this desk. Man.”     Wade did not do much to extract himself from the awkwardness, “No. Not even close. Not even close. Not even close… so during the course of the investigation we would meet early mornings, weekends, spend full days –” Wayans pretended to understand, “How can you not hit that? How can you not? We spending that much time together, we doing everything, we might as well!” Later in their conversation, Wade would claim it is “a common misconception. She's not my boss, she's never been my boss… I was a contract attorney, she’s more analogous to a client to me.” That led Wayans to the following exchange, where the sexual irony appeared to fly right over Wade’s head: WAYANS: So you say she was a client? WADE: Yes. WAYANS: So, you serve her well. WADE: I did—I did my job. Let's talk about some of the successes I did while I was— WAYANS: I think we talked about successes. WADE: We didn't. We are talking about securing an indictment, talking about getting people to enter pleas. WAYANS: Right, enter pleas. Enter pleas, you gotta enter pleas. Wayans eventually got to the main point, “So let me ask you, when old girl was like ‘Hey, babe, you want to be in charge of this prosecution of the president of the United States who did this insurrection,’ did you think, like, this could get messy? Or you was like ‘no, I will be all right?’" Wade insisted, “We did not have that type of relationship at the outset, and we were interviewing other people for the position.” Wayans then did a couple of sex position poses on the couch to ask, “Did that position look like this? Or did that position look like this?” Towards the end, he again asked, “So, some people saying this sort of deal might have ruined the best chance to hold Trump accountable for trying to end democracy. Now, what would you say to all the haters out there who can't get laid?” Wade did not know why Wayans was so upset with him, “Well, I don't know what the haters are thinking, but what I will say is under my leadership, we successfully secured a valid legal indictment, the charging document.” With all of the bitter irony he could muster, Wayans again doom-mongered about the end of democracy, “All right, young black men need a role model, what's your advice to kids in the hood that's out there that want to grow up and have big dick potentially end democracy? That's some lethal shit if you ask me.” Wade, initially, could not control his laughter, and only after a cartoon technical difficulties interruption, did he declare, “I don’t know that I have advice for any young black men to have workplace romances. What I do have advice for young black men is simply this: you can do whatever you put your mind to.” Apparently, that includes getting kicked off one of the most important trials in American history over ethical concerns. Here is a transcript for the June 18 show: Comedy Central The Daily Show 6/18/2024 11:14 PM ET MARLON WAYANS: Here today I got my man Nathan Wade, looking smooth.  NATHAN WADE: I'll take that. WAYANS: What was your first thought when you had the affair with Fani become public between you and here? WADE: I don't label it an affair. WAYANS: Wifey or? WADE: D.A. Willis is a respectable mother, a brilliant legal mind. WAYANS: Right. WADE: We spent countless hours preparing this case, investigating this case— WAYANS: I see it all happen, countless hours, and I need a foot rub, and, you know what I mean? She rubbed your foot like “here, let me give you a massage” and all of a sudden we up on this desk. Man. WADE: No. Not even close. Not even close. Not even close. WAYANS: She liked it at you or you liked it at her? WADE: That's a great question, right, so during the course of the investigation we would meet early mornings, weekends, spend full days – WAYANS: How can you not hit that? How can you not? We spending that much time together, we doing everything, we might as well! WADE: Well, in terms of workplace romances, how many places have you worked? WAYANS: I probably worked like three or four places and everywhere I went it was a mess. So, she your boss? You are not indecent proposal – you on that Demi-- what's that white girl's name that married to the dude from Die Hard? WADE: So, that's a common misconception. WAYANS: Disclosure, you on that disclosure shit. WADE: No, that's a common misconception. She's not my boss, she's never been my boss. WAYANS: You weren’t HeToo-ed. WADE: Right. WAYANS: She ain’t HeToo you? WADE: No. I was a contract attorney, she’s more analogous to a client to me. WAYANS: So you say she was a client? WADE: Yes. WAYANS: So, you serve her well. WADE: I did—I did my job. Let's talk about some of the successes I did while I was— WAYANS: I think we talked about successes. WADE: We didn't. We are talking about securing an indictment, talking about getting people to enter pleas. WAYANS: Right, enter pleas. Enter pleas, you gotta enter pleas. WADE: Well, we’re talking about other jurisdictions even following suit. WAYANS: So let me ask you, when old girl was like "Hey, babe, you want to be in charge of this prosecution of the president of the United States who did this insurrection,’ did you think, like, this could get messy? Or you was like "no, I will be all right?" WADE: We did not have that type of relationship at the outset, and we were interviewing other people for the position. WAYANS: What position was it? WADE: It was the position of special prosecutor. WAYANS: Did that position look like this? Or did that position look like this? WADE: So, no. … WAYANS: So, some people saying this sort of deal might have ruined the best chance to hold Trump accountable for trying to end democracy. Now, what would you say to all the haters out there who can't get laid? WADE: Well, I don't know what the haters are thinking, but what I will say is under my leadership, we successfully secured a valid legal indictment, the charging document. WAYANS: All right, young black men need a role model, what's your advice to kids in the hood that's out there that want to grow up and have big dick potentially end democracy? That's some lethal shit if you ask me. WADE: We’re talking about – [laughter] Cut! [Cartoon Technical Difficulties Screen] I don’t know that I have advice for any young black men to have workplace romances. What I do have advice for young black men is simply this: you can do whatever you put your mind to.

Kevin O'Leary, entrepreneur and cohost of the show Shark Tank, scolded Gov. Gavin Newsom for what he called the destruction of California’s economy through a controversial minimum wage increase. During a Monday interview on Fox Business’s The Big Money Show, O'Leary asserted that Newsom has turned The Golden State into a “version of Venezuela” by crippling the restaurant industry with a targeted minimum wage hike. “I'm here in California shooting season 16 of Shark Tank [and] the casual dining has been decimated by a policy mistake on minimum wage,” O’Leary said, referring to Assembly Bill 1228, which mandates fast food restaurants to pay all employees $20 per hour. O’Leary’s remarks came during a discussion with Fox Business anchor Jackie DeAngelis about the impact of the Biden administration’s proposal to increase the corporate tax rate to 28% by 2025. “I think about the restaurant industry, already suffering, you’re seeing fast food chains, clothing stores and also laying off employees,” DeAngelis told O’Leary. “They’ve got higher cost,  they’re paying higher wages and then you see less foot traffic. That tells me that fundamentally things are slowing down. That's not the time you want to squeeze the businesses harder.” Referring to restaurants in California, O’Leary added, “They’re shutting down left and right. I mean, Gavin Newsom made a huge mistake I think he knows that knows that now. He's turning the state into a sort of version of Venezuela.” O’Leary argued that the minimum wage law is “killing business” beyond the restaurant industry. “There’s all kind of capital leaving [California] for more competitive states, he said. You see what’s going on in Tennessee, Florida, Texas.” While describing Newsom as a “nice guy,” O’Leary didn’t hold back his criticism of the governor’s policies. “He's a bad manager. He’s decimated this place. I’ve been coming here for 15 years. This is a shell of it used to be.” Conservatives are under attack.
