    Even if people are spreading fake news, its still protected under the first amendment.

    Get information from "reliable sources"? Who is the judge and jury for determining what is reliable? I had no idea that opinions are being criminalized!

    Everyone: be sure to start following only OFFICIAL narratives. You may want to get a "narrative update" because governments are honest and they always have the best interest of their citizens. Never in history has a government ever lied–not even a single time. They are the shining beacons of truth.

    Because truth is stronger than lies. Covid19 doesn't EXIST. It was a ploy based upon a more sinister plan. So, this tells you what the truth is.

    Question. Does anyone actually know someone with the virus, because I haven't met anyone who knows someone that has the virus

    Why are Pneumonia cases dropped to zero and covid cases rise by the same rate exactly? This is a fake epidemic. We need truth about now.

    If covid19 is true, then why are you worried? Truth stands on its own. Truth doesn't need the law to protect it. Unless you have something to hide or there is something that can be uncovered, you should welcome alternative views. That is how science is done. But if you have something to hide, if you have deliberately lied, if I start to see inconsistencies in your official story, ah, then perhaps you have something to worry about and need strong arm tactics and the law to suppress free speech

    Those of you who believe the govt doesnt spread false news are fools. Covid19 is a govt lie. It's a FAKE VIRUS. No test can confirm a covid case and yes they are killing people with a criminally fake pandemic.

    I don’t know of anyone personally died of this virus around me; however I do know that people are getting sick after being tested. There is something in that kit and you’re surely guaranteed to die once you go to the hospital. I almost died 7 yrs ago from that flu vaccine and I said I will never take one again.

    The mainstream media spreads fake news all the time. It's been proven over and over again that they exaggerate thing, claim to been on the scene where something took place when they were in the studio using a green screen, they interview crisis actors, they show drills and pass them off as the real thing, they are biased so they purposefully omit important details of accounts, they reuse video clips while each time claiming they are showing original videos of events, and so on. Why are those news networks in trouble?

    How do we know the news this man spread was fake? I don't know if what he said was the truth or not. I never even saw his video. But, have his claims been thoroughly investigated and debunked, or are we supposed to assume what he says sound unlikely, or too shocking to be true, so it's assumed he is spreading fake news.

    Criminal offense that will take 10 years to clear your name and it's not a joke.
