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

[kaz]

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?

The football players were only silenced AT WORK. No one silenced them other than that. Or proposed it.

Be more specific about the political protests you do at work

You mean like some are only silenced on Twitter or Facebook?

And ... Parlor ... Who was shut down by Google, not even their competitor. It's a clear anti-trust violation.

But you're here because you support free markets!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure, that's what you care about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOLOL

Parler was not shut down by Google. Who knows why you keep repeating that kaz?

MSN

www.msn.com

That didn't shut Parler down, you fucking imbecile.

Right, a social media site just had to operate without being on phones. That's all.

OMG you're stupid. You aren't faking, you believe the propaganda. At least Goebbels knew it was propaganda

Faun is stupid, stupid is Faun ...

 

[kaz]

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?

Faun screams Republicans suck at every other employee and customer who wears anything red. His boss is fine with that, right Faun?

You poor kazzer, you're delusional. WTF does wearing red have anything to do with anything. As far as my employer, I keep my work separate from my politics.

That isn't an answer to the question.

Give examples of your political demonstrations you do at work. Go ...

Asked and answered. It's not my problem you're incapable of understanding my answer.

Bull shit. You never answered it, liar.

Give examples of your political demonstrations you do at work. Go ...

Asked and answered. It's not my problem you're incapable of understanding my answer.

Another lie. You're just squirming now.

Give examples of your political demonstrations you do at work. Go ...

Repeated theme throughout this thread........

The Cunservative Right: "Um..hi...excuse me....but may we pretty please with sugar on top ask you to let us be heard? Pretty please"???

The Marxist Left: NO! Fuck off!! Censorship is GOOD !! No one is being censored !! it's all LIES !!!!

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

The Florida legislature has nothing better to do with its time?

Right? Who da fuk needs a voice anyway (except you and big tech) ?!?!?!

 

[Faun]

Noting in there about being a common carrier, fucking moron.

Only if you're deliberately trying not to find it, fucking moron:

In dismissing the case on 18 May, US District Judge Nicholas Garaufis upheld Facebook’s argument that the company was protected by the Communications Decency Act, which says certain Internet services are not liable for content created by a third party.​

Section 230 is not about common carrier.

Faun is right, their claim of common carrier status was not given merit.

Faun is wrong, as always, dumbass.

I posted the law, fuckimg moron...

47 U.S. Code § 230 - Protection for private blocking and screening of offensive material

www.law.cornell.edu

Nothing in there about common carriers.

Are you ever not a fucking moron?

Ever??

 

[kaz]

LOL

Now that's funny in a thread about how conservatives are victims.

The Democrat party is the victim party, so why aren't you attacking Democrats?

Fucking moron, see if you can pay attention for more than a nanosecond.... this thread is about conservative victimhood.

I posted the OP, jackass.

So? Were you expecting a cookie?

I sure wasn't expecting you to be embarassed about posting your idiocies.

Gotta agree with that since Faun's avatar is his Saturday night role play gay sex suit

This thread is about DeSantis' law, not you fantasizing about gay sex.

I'm not the one who put his gay sex suit on his avatar, you did

 

[meaner gene]

The federal government is not allowed to compete with private industry. They can't set up a military base that builds ships.

The Chinese are building ships every several weeks. Semantics mean nothing in death.

Maybe I should have been clearer. OUR government, can't compete with private industry. The chinese believe the government can do whatever it wants. After all they're communists. They believe government should own private industry.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Nah. It's more fundamental than that. Something so fundamental, the founders saw no reason to call it out in the Constitution. We're talking about the freedom to say "no" - with or without a "good reason", with or without "transparency" or "consistency".

And Facebook et al still have the freedom to do so without transparency or consistency, but now individuals have a cause of action against Facebook if they do.

"Cause of action"? For what. Is it now illegal to be non-transparent and inconsistent? By what justification? Who's rights are being violated?

Beyond that, your excuses don't hold water:

The law, Florida Senate Bill 7072, provides several new checks on tech and social media companies. Among other things:

• Platforms cannot ban or deprioritize candidates for state office.
• Platforms cannot ban or deprioritize any news outlet meeting certain size requirements.
• Platforms must be transparent about moderation processes and give users notice of moderation actions.
• Users and the state will have the right to sue companies that violate the law. Statutory fines could be as high as $250,000 per day for some offenses.

Sorry, I don't want government sticking its dick into social media.

Deceptive Trade.

It's not government "sticking it's dick" into social media in any fashion different from government "sticking it's dick" into manufacturing by giving injured parties a cause of action for product liability.

Do you believe in tort liability or not?

Retard, that only meant people could no longer reach Parler's site with their app. That didn't shut Parler down. Parler's website remained up and running. It was Amazon, not Google, who shut Parler down. For a brief period anyway, until Parler signed up with a new web host.

You're a flaming imbecile who's simply incapable of learning.

Removal from their store is no more a shutdown than would be if Walmart stopped selling twinkies being a shutdown of Hostess.

You're a fucking retard.

Right? Who da fuk needs a voice anyway (except you and big tech) ?!?!?!

Social media platforms are private property. You play by their rules or you don’t play at all.

Why is that so hard to understand?

"All rights have limits . . . if they belong to conservatives. It's outrageous that they think they're allowed the same freedoms we are!"

"Facebook is being completely fair and impartial and moral!! I KNOW they are, because they're doing what I want, and they TOLD me they were!! How dare you contradict my beloved masters!!"\

"You deserve to be silenced, because you refuse to follow orders and think what we're told to!!"

Just curious: Was it the lobotomy or the castration that made you such a puling little lackey?

Why is it that you guys always sound like people immersed in self-pity and victimhood with a persecution complex on top of it all? It's weird because it's just so damn common place among conservatives.

Says the party of woke victimhood.

Democrats built a party on victimhood. Their whining about it is classic.

Democrats are Nazis.

Goebbles: Accuse others of what you are

That's Mustang and the Democrats

LOL

Now that's funny in a thread about how conservatives are victims.

So just to be clear, you think stopping fraud is "victimhood."

My God your ass must just burn from the hypocrisy. You impeached the President TWICE for that accusation you stupid fuck

FAUX believe pointing out any crime committed by the leftwing is "victimhood."

 

[meaner gene]

Deceptive Trade.

It's not government "sticking it's dick" into social media in any fashion different from government "sticking it's dick" into manufacturing by giving injured parties a cause of action for product liability.

Do you believe in tort liability or not?

It also gives any political candidate the right to violate any law that might prohibit their posts.

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

To be more precise, members who are running for public office. The law would allow Florida to fine Twitter for banning such members for more than 14 days.

You know that is not the real goal of the legislation, right?

It's pretty obvious what the real goal of the legislation is.

What's that?

Petty political retribution. You all are butthurt because Trump got banned and you want revenge. There's NOTHING else going on here. Except for a bunch of spindly excuses that expose your hypocrisy.

You and I are probably more ideologically aligned than 99% of the rest of the world and at least 95% of USMB posters. So, don't take this as a challenge or personal attack.

The same can be said about you, based on your replies in this very thread. You a butthurt because now Facebook has some accountability. You hate this not out of principle, but because you LOVED the legal means of silencing any opposing views. You're pissed because this law will force Facebook to stop lying to its users about its moderation policies and the real goals.

Facebook gave the communist left and anti-Trumptards a beautiful fiefdom of unchallenged propaganda presented as "FACT," and now they have to tell the fucking truth and THAT pisses YOU off. Be honest.
