Social media has become the discussion place or Town Square. Freedom of speech must be protected there.
Yes, good. Public space, I like.I would take it a step further as they have become the defacto "Town Square". It is now a public space.
Sure, that's the way it works. Whenever government wants control of something, call it "the commons" and go to town.Because social media is now the digital commons, and one side has decided only their viewpoint is allowable in said commons?
It is true that I've looked and looked for a conservative news weekly, even monthly, can't find any. I ended up with The Week because they send out cleaned-up sample copies that hide the fact that the actual magazine is frankly commie --- I'm not kidding, it's Leftist City, ugly put-down propaganda in every article. Don't get fooled like I did.Facebook is the single largest social media platform in the country, let alone the world. And any chance to set up an "alternative" platform geared towards a more Conservative POV will never get off the ground. This is why Parler and MeWe don't ever get the same exposure and this is also why Zuckerberg needs to be pressured, and pressured HARD to lay off of Conservatives.
Really? They are now the defacto public square simply by its sheer size of users. This is the argument that must now be had.I understand the sentiment, but the fact of the matter is that Facebook can, at its sole discretion, shit-can anything they want.
You don't have a "right" to say whatever you want to on Facebook...
This is also why the Communists want to reinstate the "Fairness" Doctrine, so they can have a total monopoly on the media.It is true that I've looked and looked for a conservative news weekly, even monthly, can't find any.

I don't know why the conservative POV is a minority view, but you are right, I think.

I'm not up on the "Fairness" doctrine. Why is that a problem?This is also why the Communists want to reinstate the "Fairness" Doctrine, so they can have a total monopoly on the media.
The First Amendment doesn't even apply to them. It's a restriction on government, not on private business.Yes, really.
Whether they're the "defacto" anything is meaningless. Facebook cannot be compelled to allow anything and everything people want to post, and rightly so. The 1st Amendment cannot be forced upon them, and doing such a thing would set a horribly dangerous precedent...
Correct;This is also why the Communists want to reinstate the "Fairness" Doctrine, so they can have a total monopoly on the media.
It probably could be forced on them ---- look at Ma Bell becoming a public utility. It really is the same exact thing, in the same industry: communication.Yes, really.

SO, they are allowed to silence whomever they want in the public domain... Double standards or no standards. You cannot have it both ways.Yes, really.

That is what you are advocating for and you cant even see it.This is also why the Communists want to reinstate the "Fairness" Doctrine, so they can have a total monopoly on the media.
That is not a double standard. That is how it works when you want to use someone else's property to display your message. Always has been.SO, they are allowed to silence whomever they want in the public domain... Double standards or no standards. You cannot have it both ways.
Town squares are public spaces funded by public dollars and publicly owned.Social media has become the discussion place or Town Square. Freedom of speech must be protected there.
Not when they are being paid, by selling your data. I have the same rights as every left-wing bat shit crazy has and they don't silence them. And that is a tangible disparity.That is not a double standard. That is how it works when you want to use someone else's property to display your message. Always has been.
