WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a groundbreaking and slightly puzzling move, the United States Congress passed a new regulation requiring all social media users to TYPE IN ALL CAPS when sharing what they believe to be “obviously true facts.”
The “Clear Truth Communication Act” (CTCA) aims to reduce misinformation by making facts LOUDER and more NOTICEABLE, according to lawmakers. “If you’re absolutely sure something is true, why wouldn’t you shout it from the digital rooftops?” asked Senator Bob Yellers (D-NY), a co-sponsor of the bill.
Platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and Truth Social have already started implementing automated caps-lock enforcement, causing a temporary surge in frustrated posts like, “WHY IS MY POST YELLING AT ME?!”
Additionally, users are required to include at least three exclamation marks for added emphasis. “THE SKY IS BLUE!!!” has become a trending example of compliance, alongside “GRAVITY IS REAL!!!”
Critics of the new rule argue that it’s impossible to enforce a definition of “obviously true facts.” “How do we determine if a fact is too obvious?” asked one user, who was immediately flagged for failing to capitalize their question.
Meanwhile, conspiracy theorists have embraced the law with gusto, proclaiming, “THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS!!!” in a strange twist of unintentional irony.
Social media experts predict this regulation will result in a “shouting match” of epic proportions. Still, supporters remain optimistic. “This is democracy in action,” said Yellers. “By yelling the truth louder, we’re drowning out the nonsense.”
Critics weren’t so sure, but one thing’s certain: THE INTERNET JUST GOT LOUDER!!!
