“This one appears to be designed to shut down Free Republic.”

I think we meet the fact checker requirement just by our nature. If someone posts something that is off, wrong, unlikely, within a half dozen posts, somebody will point that out. I’ve seen the mods pull a thread that has fake news more than once.

Which government bureaucrat is going to decide whether the site’s fact checker is really fact checking.

Don’t be fooled. This is a direct attack on conservative websites. This is designed to shut them all down.

“applies to”

“among others” may mean it only applies to children and midgets within a group of normal sized adults.

I.e., The shorties are “among” the others in the group.

I agree with you that our FR fact checkers are the greatest, BUT this is legislation by the leftists on Kalifornia. They will be the ones determining what facts to choose as correct based on the leftist agenda. It will be no good thing for any conservative website.

I think that FR could easily be caught up in this dragnet.

Jim I think it is time for you and the fam to move, self and servers to a more friendly area of the world. We all welcome you with open arms.

Dunno, I found that one while looking for the “better regulate radio” graphic.
