Peter King Laments First Amendment, Wants ‘Better Controls’ On Facebook, Twitter, And The Internet


VAZ: Would you like to see better controls on the internet? On these social media sites like Facebook and Twitter?

KING: I do, now we have a First Amendment issue which does not really confront you or really pertain in Great Britain. So we’re trying to find ways, how can it be done without violating the First Amendment, involving freedom of speech or communication.

Explaining his prior statements in support of the then-terrorist Irish Republican Army (IRA), King said that he stands by these statements “in the context that they were said.”

Rick Santorum alluded to that in one of his interviews too. He was a little upset about the Google Santorum thing. He didn't say it, but he appeared to be concerned that people were allowed to do and say just about anything on the internet.
