Joe Rogan has warned that the First Amendment will come under threat if Kamala Harris is elected president

In 2019, Harris famously branded social media companies as purveyors of ‘hate,’ and ‘misinformation’ vowing to hold them responsible for content posted on their platforms.

‘We will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our democracy,’ Harris said during a speech to the NAACP in 2019.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also said that he felt ‘extreme pressure’ to remove content the government asked Facebook to censor from its platforms, but that he felt the pressure was ‘wrong’.

‘There are so many wild things that they are saying,’ Rogan added. ‘Tim Walz said that the First Amendment doesn’t apply to misinformation or hate speech. OK, well, it certainly does.’

He added that the ‘goal’ of the First Amendment is to encourage dialogue so that when ‘you say something wrong, this person who is an expert says the right thing and you correct them’.

Walz previously stated that, ‘There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around democracy.’

However, in 2021 the Supreme Court previously affirmed that there is no exception for hate speech.

‘As a Nation we have chosen a different course—to protect even hurtful speech on public issues to ensure that we do not stifle public debate,’ Chief Justice John Roberts said.

During the episode Rogan went on to rant about how ‘so much’ of what is censored, ‘turns out to be true’.

He referenced the pandemic mask-wearing mandate, saying ‘face masks don’t work’.

However, studies have shown that effective and consistent mask-wearing can help slow the spread of Covid-19.

A new poll by Freedom Forum found that Americans are placing less importance on protecting the First Amendment.

Just 58 percent of people surveyed said they would approve the First Amendment today, a 4-point decline from 2020.

Has Coke gone woke? Iconic American company in hot water over can personalization that won’t allow conservative phrases

Coca-Cola sparked backlash after reportedly banning the words ‘Jesus’ and ‘Trump 2024’ from its personalized cans – while seemingly allowing support for Kamala Harris and ‘Satan’ and ‘Allah’.

The company fixed the glitch after the outrage from conservatives when the problem was documented and posted on X by Liberals of TikTok.

The updated version now bans all monikers that are ‘trademarked, political in nature, names of countries, celebrities, religious figures, as well as anything that could be considered offensive for other reasons,’ the personalizer tool says.

After the glitch circulated online, some began calling for a ‘boycott’ of the iconic soda company with some wryly noting: ‘Funny how these things always seem to go one way.’

Coca-Cola sparked backlash after fans claimed it was allowing customers to personalize cans with ‘Harris Walz 2024’, but seemingly banned ‘Trump 2024’

The personalizer website bans any monikers that are ‘trademarked, political in nature, names of countries, celebrities, religious figures, as well as anything that could be considered offensive for other reasons’

The glitch was first shared by Facebook user Antwoine Hill, and circulated widely after being pushed by conservative X account Libs of TikTok, which shared images of a ‘Harris Walz 2024’ can being allowed, but ‘Trump 2024’ not being allowed.

Others followed by sharing videos of their attempts to put religious names on the cans, with ‘Satan’ and ‘Allah’ appearing to be allowed.

Attempts to put ‘Jesus loves you’ on the can was met with a warning that the company couldn’t personalize the can with the word ‘Jesus.’

Some pointed out that excluding the name ‘Jesus’ would limit a common name for men in America, however Coca-Cola’s website notes that ‘a name might be accepted if you add a last name to the submission.’

The personalizer notably blocks cans with the names of political figures such as Donald Trump, Kamala Harris and Barack Obama, but does allow other celebrities such as Elon Musk.

After the posts went viral, Hill said he was surprised that his pointing out of the glitch captured interest, but stood by the anger he triggered.

‘I am pointing out the obvious, the only name that gets this much backlash and hate is the name of Jesus,’ he told the Daily Dot.

Amid some conservatives calling to boycott the brand, he said would support the move ‘if it sends the message that we stand for the name of Jesus.’

‘I’m also very conflicted with the whole thing because I’m in the streets daily seeing the much bigger issues, drugs, violence, homelessness,’ he said.

‘So for me this just doesn’t seem nearly as big as these issues, but nonetheless I won’t support any company that doesn’t support Jesus.’

In a statement, Coke said, ‘The tool does not approve names or phrases that are religious in nature or are for political candidates, trademarks or celebrities.

‘If a submission is not approved, such as for a specific name, a consumer at a store can show ID with their legal name for a store manager to approve for printing. If the submission is online, a consumer can also modify their request.

‘We recognize technology is imperfect, which is why we have additional layers of approval.’
