Lemon DEMANDS social media regulate opinions, show where his critics live

 He also wanted them to regulate what's "true" and to show him where his critics lived. Meanwhile, Cuomo was calling for social media to upend a cornerstone of the internet and out their users.

After going at Facebook over their internal research showing how their service can be harmful to teens and questioning how their algorithm works (plus, once again suggesting Fox News didn't report the truth), Cuomo decried how Lemon was using the word "regulation" because it would "trigger" people to be resistant.

"This isn't about restricting your rights. It's about making sure that people do what they do right," he proclaimed. Lemon wasn't comfortable with that notion and suggested that "What is put on your platform, at the very least, should be true. Let's start there."

But Cuomo pushed back with the obvious point that opinions didn't fall into that flawed framework for regulation. Lemon's solution was to regulate those too:

CUOMO: What if it's an opinion?

LEMON: And then we go — it should be true.

CUOMO: An opinion is not always true.

LEMON: You can have opinions based in fact. Okay? So, at the very least, it should be true. And it should be based in some sort of fact. Beyond that — let's start at that base level, that baseline right there. And then we can go on with the rest of it.

Anyone with any form of sense understands that this is a problem because the liberals who run social media platforms can't be trusted to even allow the truth.
