John Kerry: "The 1st Amendment stands as a major roadblock for us right now"

JOHN KERRY: WE NEED TO CONTROL SOCIAL MEDIA


"I think the dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and is part of our problem, particularly in democracies. In terms of building consensus around any issue, it's really hard to govern today; you can't. People self-select where they go for their news or for their information, and then you just get into a vicious cycle.\

There's a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you're going to have, you know, some accountability on facts.

If people go to only one source, and the source they go to is sick and, you know, has an agenda, and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence.

So what we need is to win the ground and win the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you're free to implement change."
