Florida Gov. DeSantis Has Just Signed A Bill Into Law That Would Allow Everyday Floridians To Sue Big Tech Platforms For Monetary Damages

[struth]

You either agree or you can't use their essential services. Some choice huh?

What is unfair or unjust about a company requiring its patrons to adhere to their TOS?

nothing

what’s wrong with all companies being treated the same under the law and not having special immunities?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

They are so fucking pissed and I love it.

Abandoning ones principles just to anger others you hate is basically what’s wrong with the Republican Party.

You can’t govern by owning the libs.

I am not abandoning principles. There's a way for Facebook to censor ANYTHING it wants without liability. You're just mad because they won't do it. Because to do so, they will be FORCED to be honest about their political agenda and YOU FUCKING HATE IT.

They won't do it because they depend on users and they have barely managed to keep from having a mass exodus. But, if they keep doing what they have been, they will get sued into oblivion or KNOCK OFF THE BULLSHIT. Facebook et al have a choice.


Governing starts with being able to present your message.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Of course it is a restriction of freedom of speech. It is outright stopping speech.

Which they are free to do, just like colleges, just like an employer, just like your library, just like your local paper or news agency.

There's a place for lies, slander, dangerous medical advice, personal attacks and insane conspiracy theories. Maybe Conservative Treehouse or WMD would be appropriate for Trump.

maybe

but that doesn’t negate the fact that all that takes place on facebook and tweeter as well, and they shouldn’t be above the law and protected from liability

That's the point.. Facebook doesn't want the liability associated with lies, slander and bad medical advice. Trump needs to take that on himself.. He's trying to undermine the election process. Facebook doesn't want to be party to that.

Trump should take on the liability of his lies and conspiracy theories.

No, that's NOT the point, because Facebook doesn't currently face any liabilities associated with the content posted by its users. Basically, you're doing the same dishonest shit they're trying to: demanding that they get to act like publishers, while trying to cloak your bigotry in the mantle of "platform".

You have no business accusing anyone else of being a liar, given that you've never said a truthful word in all the time you've been spewing shit on this board. Oh, and the word "lie" is not defined as "saying things I don't like". Good to know that your knowledge of the English language is as extensive as your knowledge of the law.

Democrats running around screaming free markets! Free markets! Just unbelievable. Literally, as if they care about free markets.

They are just cheering because it's working, Republicans are being silenced.

And dblack doesn't see a problem

it’s not even about free markets. Free markets welcome the exchange of ideas, not censorship.

with that said, facebook is free in a free society to publish the content they want...with that said they should therefore be treated the same as everyone else in that business

Exchange of ideas like football players kneeling during the National Anthem? How did the right like that exchange of ideas?

I think some folks didn't like it....what's your point? I am not seeing the connection here. Facebook is free to have requirements of their employees as well. Facebook employees can sue Facebook....just like Kap was free to sue the NFL.

what we however is talking about something different all together. We are talking about consumers being able to sue Facebook. Just like consumers are free to sue the New Yorker, or NY Times....why do you continue to think that Facebook should be immune, be treated differently and get better protections?

you can sue anybody for anything.
You can sue FB.
HOWEVER
Passing a law to create a cause of action where none exists for the purpose of damaging specific entities is unconstitutional.
Article 1 Section 9 "No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."

sorry no facebook and tweeter are protected under federal law from liability

Govt can make laws creating a cause of action

this isn’t a bill or attained or ex post facto law. 1) it’s not criminal 2) nobody is saying they are guilty of anything

Government CANNOT make laws intended to harm individuals.
It's that Constitution you guys love to ignore.

How is allowing Facebook to be sued for cause "making a law intended to harm individuals?"

The "cause" doesn't exist. Only exists because a law was created for the express purpose of creating a cause SO FB could be sued and remember..."Corporations are people my friend."

Yes. That's generally how causes of action come about, unless they already existed at common law.

But those laws cannot be directed at specific individuals.
Article 1, Section 9.

hahaa it’s not a bill or attainer because it’s not convicting anyone of a crime

I'm sure your opinion is well respected in toilets around the country but it is wrong.

haha it’s not an opinion...it’s the definition

Except the law forbids them from banning politicians and news agencies.

Forgot that part, didn’t you.

Admit it. You’ve abandon your principles of being pro-constitutional. You want the power the platforms have so you’re going to take it by force. Government always wants power.

No it is not. It will not stand up in court.

This is just the start, this law is going federal soon and in a bipartisan way as well

So get over it

[Ray From Cleveland]

It's happening in at least 5 states, with more set to join in, + federal legislation is still making its way through US Congress committees. Has an excellent chance to become law, with rare situation of Republicans and Democrats both in support.

Federal law is different because they have the ability to classify FB or Twitter as they deem necessary. A state has no such authority and what's being proposed here is a law forbidding a company to remove posts that are not in line with what they think. They are free to do so since it's their site.

i did...didn’t see anything

first off, govt makes laws that harm individuals all the time. so no clue what you are talking about

You last phrase is the only thing you said that was accurate.

Show me a law directly targeting an individual for harm.

this law isn’t directed at a specific individual for harm

Lol, ever heard of unenforceable laws? The internet crosses state and international lines Florida can not force it's will across the world. Great publicity stunt though. Dumb fucks will believe it has some sort of meaning

A civil judge will determine that, and maybe the US Supreme Court too.

They are just cheering because it's working, Republicans are being silenced.

And dblack doesn't see a problem

it’s not even about free markets. Free markets welcome the exchange of ideas, not censorship.

with that said, facebook is free in a free society to publish the content they want...with that said they should therefore be treated the same as everyone else in that business

Exchange of ideas like football players kneeling during the National Anthem? How did the right like that exchange of ideas?

I think some folks didn't like it....what's your point? I am not seeing the connection here. Facebook is free to have requirements of their employees as well. Facebook employees can sue Facebook....just like Kap was free to sue the NFL.

what we however is talking about something different all together. We are talking about consumers being able to sue Facebook. Just like consumers are free to sue the New Yorker, or NY Times....why do you continue to think that Facebook should be immune, be treated differently and get better protections?

you can sue anybody for anything.
You can sue FB.
HOWEVER
Passing a law to create a cause of action where none exists for the purpose of damaging specific entities is unconstitutional.
Article 1 Section 9 "No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."

sorry no facebook and tweeter are protected under federal law from liability

Govt can make laws creating a cause of action

this isn’t a bill or attained or ex post facto law. 1) it’s not criminal 2) nobody is saying they are guilty of anything

Government CANNOT make laws intended to harm individuals.
It's that Constitution you guys love to ignore.

How is allowing Facebook to be sued for cause "making a law intended to harm individuals?"

The "cause" doesn't exist. Only exists because a law was created for the express purpose of creating a cause SO FB could be sued and remember..."Corporations are people my friend."

govt can create cause of action

Not directed at harming a specific individual.

this law isn’t directed at a specific individual

A legislative act that singles out an individual or group for punishment without a trial.

ok...and how does that appply here?

Legislative act...check
Singles out...check
fines=punishment w/o trial...check and Check.

Sorry bout that,

1. To discriminate by mods on certain people in our society should be punishable too.
2. I have a bone to pick with some mods, who represent certain websites.
3. They the mods are representative of societal norms and lifestyles.
4. Having mods attack certain weak societal peoples, is not unlike what the Nazi's did to the Jews.
5. When its considered normal to attack one group of society, things can get out of hand and those people being abused can be targeted as non essential.
6. Immorality can prosper, if people who see it, say nothing.

No it is not. It will not stand up in court.

This is just the start, this law is going federal soon and in a bipartisan way as well

So get over it

rofl

no it's not, trumptard

Time for Sux news and the botox hour

There's a place for lies, slander, dangerous medical advice, personal attacks and insane conspiracy theories. Maybe Conservative Treehouse or WMD would be appropriate for Trump.

maybe

but that doesn’t negate the fact that all that takes place on facebook and tweeter as well, and they shouldn’t be above the law and protected from liability

That's the point.. Facebook doesn't want the liability associated with lies, slander and bad medical advice. Trump needs to take that on himself.. He's trying to undermine the election process. Facebook doesn't want to be party to that.

Trump should take on the liability of his lies and conspiracy theories.

No, that's NOT the point, because Facebook doesn't currently face any liabilities associated with the content posted by its users. Basically, you're doing the same dishonest shit they're trying to: demanding that they get to act like publishers, while trying to cloak your bigotry in the mantle of "platform".

You have no business accusing anyone else of being a liar, given that you've never said a truthful word in all the time you've been spewing shit on this board. Oh, and the word "lie" is not defined as "saying things I don't like". Good to know that your knowledge of the English language is as extensive as your knowledge of the law.

Yes. That's generally how causes of action come about, unless they already existed at common law.

But those laws cannot be directed at specific individuals.
Article 1, Section 9.

hahaa it’s not a bill or attainer because it’s not convicting anyone of a crime

I'm sure your opinion is well respected in toilets around the country but it is wrong.

haha it’s not an opinion...it’s the definition

Here's your definition

A legislative act that singles out an individual or group for punishment without a trial.

Try reading.

It doesn't single out an individual or group, turd.
