Jen Psaki dragged down memory lane when she says ‘laws have to change’ for social media control

The progressive left is all about controlling speech, especially when it comes to social media — which explains why they detest Elon Musk so much.

Case in point, former Biden spokesperson Jen Psaki advocated for new laws to control social media Thursday on her Next Question podcast while analyzing the 2024 election with Katie Couric.

Psaki was talking about a lack of accountability for “having disinformation spread,” the oddity being that those who reserve the right to define what is disinformation are always talking about controlling it.

“One of the things that’s changed even since I got involved in politics is just the rise of the percentage of people who get their information off of platforms that have no fact-checking mechanism and no accountability for having disinformation spread,” Psaki said, before suggesting that local print and local TV have a higher degree of accountability than social media platforms

“That is crazy… and how does it change, how are people held to account? Laws have to change, I don’t even know the entire answer to it but that seems to me to be a core issue,” she added.

Democrats continue to grapple with the impact President-elect Trump’s 3-hour-plus sit down on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast had on the election and Psaki suggested there was an “undervaluing” here by Democrats.

“I don’t think Joe Rogan deserves 100% credit for Donald Trump being elected, but it was a misunderstanding of kind of also how people are getting their information and an undervaluing of some of those platforms that Trump was doing that don’t really exist on the other side,” Psaki said.

Social media users were quick to remind Psaki of her hypocrisy when it comes to “disinformation.”

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on Elon Muck’s free speech platform X:
