Democrat voters are the least worried that the government will use the guise of fighting misinformation and hate speech to censor political dissent on the Internet and social media, a new national survey reveals.

Nearly half (47%) of all U.S. likely voters are “very concerned” that “to protect against misinformation and hate speech, the government might censor political dissent on the Internet and social media,” according to a Rasmussen Reports survey conducted March 21 and 24-25.

Likewise, 51% of both Republican and “Other” voters say they’re very concerned the government will censor online political dissent.

In contrast, only 39% of Democrat voters are very concerned.

Among voters who “strongly approve” of Democrat Joe Biden’s job performance as president, just 31% are “very concerned” the government might censor political dissent on the Internet and social media. Meanwhile, of those who “strongly disapprove” of Biden’s performance, 64% are “very concerned” about government censorship of online dissent.

Among all U.S. likely voters, about three-fourths (76%) are at least “somewhat” concerned the government will use misinformation and hate speech to justify censorship of political dissent. Here, too, fewer Democrats (71%) than Republicans (77%) or “Other” voters (79%) are at least somewhat concerned.

Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that the State Department be held to account to adhere to the U.S. Constitution and that Big Tech mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called hate speech and equal footing for conservatives.
