Biden Administration Can't Be Sued For Pressuring Social Media Companies To Remove Misinformation, SCOTUS Ruling/

[Slade3200]

I wonder what would happen if Trump were elected and strong armed social media in similar ways?

How was social media strong armed exactly?

 

[Frankenstein]

The gov never chose a thing. These businesses made their own choices. Yall just decided to lie and spin by calling it censorship when it really wasn’t.

Your conservative Supreme Court agrees

Under pressure from Biden and company

Social media companies remain at liberty to post disinformation and lies regardless what the government might urge.

Ah, but knowingly publishing or broadcasting lies known to be lies gives rise to a suit for money damages.

Right-wing media reckoning: Some outlets pay a price after spreading 2020 election misinformation

Ahead of another contentious presidential election, media companies that promoted false claims four years ago are filing for bankruptcy, issuing apologies or settling lawsuits.

Nixon knew he was going to impeached. So he bugged out, the pardon by Gerald Ford (totally wrong thing to do) spared Tricky Dicky jail time, that he so richly deserved.

Indeed.

GH Bush should have been jailed for what he allowed and aided to happen in Panama under Noriega, instead we made him POTUS

What kind of pressure. Be specific. How did the gib force these companies to do anything?

 

[bendog]

Wrong.

Private social media decide what to post.

Exactly. If Trump claims the sky is red, and Fox posts Blue, there's not shit Trump can do. BUT, if it is RED, then media can more easily be sued for trafficking in LIES for someone damaged by the false info

He spent his time in the Oval Office cleaning up messes he made by Directtor of the C.I.A. Saddam being a case in point.

Hard to tell but my guess is under penalty of being shut down by the brown shirts at the DOJ

I'll ask Slades question of you

Unless the social media outlets tell us under pressure of wha,t how do we know, we do know they told them to take down content they didn't like

Heil MAGA...we know how fascist they are.

It’s hard for YOU to tell because you believe media propaganda outlets who can’t back up these claims.

Back in reality, blowhards making the same claims you are promoting were faced with the challenge of proving it in court and Trumps conservative SCOTUS shot it down.

That’s what this thread is about. Yet you persist. Why? How do you justify that?

Sure...when an entity with the power to destroy your business urges you to do something, it is no different than you or I asking

What do you mean “power to destroy your business”?

 

[Lord-Humungus]

For those who are applauding this just remember how excited you were about this when it’s someone like Trump who gets to decide what information is true or not and pressures sites to act accordingly.

Conservatives oppose the ruling because they believe it will interfere with the spread of right-wing disinformation and lies; as usual conservatives are wrong.

There are many employed Progs who do not go into inner city areas to deliver products. Despite all of their love for the realm of Prog Socialist agendas. Truth.

 

[Marener]

The government made them censor freedom of thought and speech... and that's where the constitutional violation occurred in my opinion... first its about a pandemic next time what will it be?... because now there will be a next time....

the government didn’t make them do anything. In fact, there were plenty of times when the social media companies didn’t do anything and nothing happened.

The Fed Govt could shut them down, they could fine them, they could do all sorts of things.

 

[Marener]

SCOTUS ruled they lacked standing in the case. The only thing the lower courts can do is dismiss it.

 

[Marener]

The Fed Govt could shut them down, they could fine them, they could do all sorts of things.

No they can't. That would be illegal.
