CNN’s Crackdown on Presidential Debate Commentary Sparks Backlash

I don't believe in coincidences :tap:
The timing of the SCOTUS decision the day before the Presidential debate
CNN's threat to invoke intellectual property law and act against "any creators and streamers who attempt to broadcast and add commentary to their upcoming debate stream"
I SMELL A RAT 🐀

And, although copyright issues are important, I think the First Amendment issues are a lot more important. Methinks that government censorship is being done via BIGTECH and a private news reporting company (CNN). Kind of like weaponizing U.S. Copyright law and making use of the recent SCOTUS decision for a political purpose MURTHY v. MISSOURI

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

CNN has threatened to take legal action against any creators and streamers who attempt to broadcast and add commentary to their upcoming debate stream. As the host of the upcoming first presidential debate this Thursday, CNN has notified livestreamers that live-streaming the debate with additional commentary is not permissible.
CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will host the Thursday debate.
The network has made it clear that they will not allow the use of their debate footage outside of their own network, claiming copyright infringement.
The decision has been met with criticism from many who argue that commentary and criticism of the debate fall under the fair use doctrine, which allows for the use of copyrighted material under certain circumstances.
