Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis To Sign Bill Banning Social Media ‘Deplatforming’

[Missourian]

republicans strike again. Now they are taking first amendment rights from social media.

They are regulating the internet. And violating the first amendment to do it. They are also violating section 230 of the communications decency act.

What happened to their screaming that business owners have the right to decide who they serve or do business with? That was a lie too.

They are showing that their hate for regulations was all a lie. They love regulating business just not in a responsible way.

Their beliefs are of convenience not real beliefs.

Ban Trump? Not so fast. Florida is about to pass a law to stop Facebook and Twitter from censoring politicians

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is likely to sign into law a bill that would stop Facebook, Twitter and YouTube from censoring politicians such as Donald Trump.

I'm thinking youre a little confused how the 1st A works,,,

Nope. You are.

and yet you failed to explain why I'm wrong,,

the 1st is meant for the people not companies,,

The first amendment has nothing to do with business regulating their own speech or the speech others are making under their umbrellas. It has to do with the government not making rules regulating speech, which is exactly what tRump's mini-me just did.

If the social media entities are claiming 230 protections...they have no speech to impinge upon.

It's really a brilliant move...the social media sites either must change their policies...or sue and defend their 230 status. Plus there will be discovery.

I think the social media sites will cave before they risk that.

So many Trump cult First Amendment haters here. They really do all think that the government has the right to force anyone to say whatever TheParty wants them to say.

Stalin would be so proud of the Trump cultists here.

Don't be specious. Discuss the topic, or don't.

 

[danielpalos]

Not enough morals on the right wing to around to even understand the concept?

You have no clue what the subject of the thread is, nor can you compose a coherent sentence.

Yet, you are the one with nothing but fallacy right winger.

Being a libertarian means that I don't spend every waking moment worried that someone somewhere is doing something I don't agree with. Do what you want, just don't hurt other people and don't force your views on them. Otherwise, mind your own business. We'd all be happier.

Ron DeSantis is a classic libertarian my friends, and he'll make a great president in 2024

Agreed!!!

It sounds like the meaning of the word "libertarian" had changed radically in the last few years. At least for some of you.

Hey, are we going to live by campaign finance laws or not?

All this does is fine FB for giving a VERY VALUABLE benefit to political candidates for arbitrarily banning the opposition.

The First Amendment is irrelevant here.

FB wants to act like a publisher with the protections of a provider. Fuck that shit.

Most of them are statist nonsense. Certainly not "libertarian".

Just fucking repeal 230 and stop using it as an excuse for heavy handed government mandates.

Awww the leftists hate when states fight back against censorship....I really hope if President Trump doesn't run again that DeSantis does because he is about the ONLY candidate I would back right now.

 

[debbiedowner]

Maybe Facebook should ban DeSantis and we will see who wins

They already did, I think.

No they didn't.

Some of these people will never understand that, it's like debating with a spoon.

 

[WEATHER53]

The idea that you are private and can do anything you want has been debunked already
The idea that you can invite everyone in but selectively decide what concepts you will allow is illegal

No it isn’t.

Freedom hasn't been "debunked" just yet.

Link? I realize there are many idiotic "public accommodations" laws, but I don't think the cover social media yet.

Mitt Romney "Corporations are people my friend"

Not that it makes your comment less nonsensical.
The 1st is meant for the government.
Does not say what people or corporations or businesses can or cannot do.
Only the government

You've a complete failure to understand either the meaning or intent of the 1st.

There's not a conservative alive that has even the vaguest ideas what the constitution is for or what it's about. I was told on another forum, by a person who claimed to be a lawyer, that the preamble didn't matter because it isn't really part of the document.

The preamble is not legally enforceable any more than the ideas in the Declaration are legally enforceable.

BUT

They set a moral tone for the direction of this country meaning they are every bit as important as the rest of the documents
BECAUSE
Without them we are not the USA.

The preamble is what the rest of the document is all about.

The Constitution does not say socialism, fascism, capitalism, communism. None of it. It does say freedom and liberty and tells us about positive real money. Not the debt derived fiat currency we have today. So you must include that. But you can't. Because all of the agendas you have will fall like dominoes.

We have a more solid currency than our founders ever envisioned

Between 1790 and 1936 the US had easily a dozen depressions and dozens of regional recessions generally traceable to liquidity issues.
So long as the Fed acts to keep the lid on hyper-inflation the currency along with the euro will remain the model of currency stability.
And isn't it great the Fed is (sort of) politically independent.

youre forgetting they didnt have huge debt like we have now,,

the feds are eating us up with allowing that debt and getting filthy rich in the process,,

Sigh....

So let's go gold.
First, do we float or set a value? If we float prices will be generally competitive but subject to massive bouts of inflation and deflation. Set a value and imports could become prohibitively expensive.
Issue currency backed by gold or do business with actual gold? In either case, what do you do about hoarding?

We know all the answers to all the questions surrounding "going gold" because, to borrow a phrase, we've been there before.
Between 1790 and 1936 this country suffered literally dozens of recessions and depressions traceable to a lack of liquidity in the markets. The government's inability to print more money and remove money from the market meant there were no mechanisms to slow these bouts of depression and hyperinflation. Since 1936 the US has suffered zero depressions and, outside of 08/09 generally good economic growth thanks in good part to the Fed.

The ideas you're pushing are literally failed 19th century economic thought.

how about we start by not taking on new debt we can never pay off??

I think is a little disrespectful to future generations dont you??

REALLY?
After Trump raised the debt by over 35% in less than 4 years?

The hypocrisy is just stunning! The dishonesty is, of course, expected.

 

[WEATHER53]

The freedom is not the freedom of Facebook to do what they want. The freedom is for the people they invite in to share their experiences and opinions without censorship deletions.
