They can't. LOOK IT UP.since when can’t govt regulate an entire group? they do it all the time, from the diary industry, to tobacco, clothes, booze, etcGROUP DUMBASS!show me where in the law it singles any one out specificallyDoeshaha it singles out nobodyLegislative act...checkok...and how does that appply here?A legislative act that singles out an individual or group for punishment without a trial.this law isn’t directed at a specific individualNot directed at harming a specific individual.govt can create cause of actionThe "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."How is allowing Facebook to be sued for cause "making a law intended to harm individuals?"Government CANNOT make laws intended to harm individuals.sorry no facebook and tweeter are protected under federal law from liabilityyou can sue anybody for anything.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.Exchange of ideas like football players kneeling during the National Anthem? How did the right like that exchange of ideas?it’s not even about free markets. Free markets welcome the exchange of ideas, not censorship.maybe
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.
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
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
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 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."
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
It's that Constitution you guys love to ignore.
Singles out...check
fines=punishment w/o trial...check and Check.
nor punishes anyone without them being found in violation via due process
and Does
So there.
Geez.
It can regulate milk
But I can't do so with the INTENT of harming a cow or a group of cows.
Geez.
