You're stating the obvious. All social media sites are pushing limited speech. They're terrified of people speaking their mind and letting truth out.
And that is their prerogative as private companies.
Go to a Christian forum and they limit your speech...trust me.
They all do it, even this site.
If you do not like what FB does, start your own FB. The internet is a big, wide open place.
Of course they do. I've never opened any accounts on any social media site ie twitter, fb, instagram etc so I don't worry about their anti free speech. Im not going to participate in their hatred for the first amendment.
A private company cannot hate what does not apply to them. That is just silly.
If they can't, they wouldn't remove.
Free speech is a function of the government, not private entities.
They cannot remove your free speech, all they can do is limit it on their sites...like this site does.
...and now these people have been put in charge of censoring search engines and social platforms such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
When these kids are old enough to be judges, the First Amendment will be murdered.
Wait....trumpanzees know about electricity?Ok so what if Con-Ed said they would not provide electrical service to anyone with a Trump sign in their yard?

Except that then they become a publisher, not a platform, and they become subject to slander, libel, and defamation laws, just like any other publisher. The laws haven't caught up to them yet, but give it time and they will.
Right now, there's a very good case to be made that they're either in breach of contract, or engaging in false advertisement.
Good thing they are not publishers then...anymore than this website is

They are evil. For one thing, they are monopolies, and that gives the DOJ a basis for anti-trust prosecution. Furthermore, Google behaves like a publisher that edits its content rather than just a common carrier. As such, it shouldn't be protected from lawsuits regarding its content.
They are not evil, if they were doing what they were doing for the conservative movement you would be on here daily kissing their ass.
Neither are monopolies, it is impossible to monopolize the internet.
I just heard, "I'm an asshole who supports evil for partisan reasons, so I assume that means everyone is!"
Was that what you meant to say?

And this is the problem. Not political as I keep saying. The problem is societal and cultural servility due to an unbending and uncompromising political creed spread by the powerful...not synonymous with government. Those who attack cultural norms in the name of defending against state control end up leaving you at the mercy of actors just as powerful but lacking accountability.
Free speech is a “government function”? Look up Red Guard.

Why do you say they have been taught to hate free speech?
Lol you people always assume the most ridiculous outcome when it comes to being liberal. SOME college students get butthurt over something they deem offensive. They are late teens or early 20s. In 5 years, they won’t be so butthurt because that’s part of maturing as an adult....and now these people have been put in charge of censoring search engines and social platforms such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
When these kids are old enough to be judges, the First Amendment will be murdered.

You are a very confused individual. FB, Google and Twitter have no impact on your free speech, they cannot abridge it one iota.
They can limit what you say on their privately owned websites just like this site does.
Please learn who the 1st Amendment applies to and quit making such a fool out of yourself.

Let me type slowly.
I never mentioned the First Amendment.
I was speaking of free speech.
I love how you just ignore the entire post and go with "Good thing the world is the way I want it to be". Talking to you is so often like trying to reason with someone on drugs, do you know that?
This website actually is a platform. It has very general and basic rules, but within those rules, anyone can join and say whatever they want. USMB isn't going to censor or ban you just because they don't like your political viewpoint.
FB, Twitter, and Google are rapidly exiting that definition and leaving it far, far behind. When you decide exactly what can be said and who can say it, you're a publisher, and you become responsible for the speech that you have allowed, because you allowed it very specifically.
You can't really call Republicans "students". Because the majority believe college is bad for America. And because of that, many don't go....and now these people have been put in charge of censoring search engines and social platforms such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
When these kids are old enough to be judges, the First Amendment will be murdered.
And they listen to the rhetoric of racists like Trump and other Republicans and don't have anything to compare it to or anyone discuss it with.
Also,
Shouting "fire" in a crowded theater is NOT "free speech".
Saying that Obama was born in Kenya is not free speech. It's slander. Why protect slander?
Saying that Trump refused to pay workers, some of whom even went bankrupt because he tricked them out of their work is not slander because he actually did that.
Posting the truth is free speech. Lying is lying. If someone is going to lie, they have the right to prove they are telling the truth. And if they aren't telling the truth. then who wants to listen to lies hiding behind the curtain of "free speech"?

Every platform decide what can be said and who can say it, the big three are no different. My entire family is hard core conservatives, they are Trump followers and yet they have never had an issue with FB, they post pro-Trump, conservative, right wing shit every single day and have never once had a post removed by FB.

Thats anecdotal. Thousands have had their posts removed because of their politics.

Once again, free speech pertains to the government and its citizens and what the government cannot do.
Outside of the relationship there is no right to free speech, every private entity has the right to limit what you say on their property, be it physical or virtual.
