Can't remember the term...

Shit's gonna change. No matter what. Probably tomorrow.

The unique experience is actually right now when everything hasn't resolved yet.

    However, I really just can't get behind the government enforcing editorial control over private communications services

    No need for the government to exercise "editorial control". Even when we did have a fairness doctrine they didn't do that. Instead, I think that if Fox News does decide to give air time to QAnon conspiracy theories then they should be required to back it up with actual bona fide evidence or face stiff fines per infraction. We also need to dust off those libel and slander laws and put them to good use again. People shouldn't be allowed to propagate nutty conspiracy theories without facing consequences. We have already seen how that kind of thing can be dangerous (e.g., Pizzagate).
