So It Begins, Facebook Censorship Underway

[EverCurious]

hmmm kinda sounds like someone at FB didn't like what was said and deleted it without authority - probs. in trouble now heh

 

[frigidweirdo]

What you said was ignorant, wrong, and a lie.

The doctrine of free speech concerns solely the relationship between government and those governed, not between or among private persons or organizations.

Facebook is a private company, as such it cannot ‘violate’ the free speech of anyone; only government has the potential of violating free speech when it acts contrary to First Amendment jurisprudence.

Consequently, any reference to ‘free speech’ on your part is ignorant idiocy and a lie – the issue has nothing to do with ‘free speech.’

And the notion that ‘the left’ ‘hates’ free speech is a moronic lie as well; liberals have always been staunch advocates and defenders of free speech and the right of Americans to express themselves.

It’s also a lie that Facebook ‘represents’ ‘the left.’

And yet if a business reserves the right to refuse service to anyone, and does, they get sued. huh.

This fails as a false comparison fallacy and a red herring fallacy.

It’s becoming more and more difficult to not come to the conclusion that ignorance and stupidity are indeed prerequisites for being a conservative, as your posts clearly illustrate.

In this case, as a consequence of your ignorance and stupidity, you’re confusing the doctrine of free speech with regard to First Amendment jurisprudence with that of public accommodations laws authorized by Commerce Clause jurisprudence, two legal realms one having nothing to do with the other.

Conservatism is indeed the bane of the American Nation.

Got it. Leftists can choose what to censor, Christians cannot.

Typical fascist blather.

Er... how many Christian sites censor what is written on their site? Hundreds? Thousands?

Christians are sued all of the time for not catering to perverts.

EHarmony sued for excluding same-sex matches

We're talking about two different things here. One is a website where you're not necessarily buying or selling anything, the other is a place for buying and selling. Do you see the difference?

Also, if you think sex is perverted, then you must lead a very sad life.

Saturday, April 16 a Christian author posted his views on homosexuality and the impact it can have on youth. You can read the post yourself (reinstated after complaints) on the link below.

Facebook is not the government, they can delete whatever they want. But they are a major social network, and the CEO of Facebook is publicly taking political sides on key issues in America. What gets censored will only increase now.

As has been noted before, the left simply hate free speech and are extremely intolerant.

Last I heard Facebook was a private company that can restrict what is and what is not posted on its site.

Long as they're not a bakery.

Again, they're different businesses.

Freedom of speech doesn't prevent the company saying certain things. What it does prevent them doing is basing who they serve.

Were facebook to ban black people using their website, or gay people, then this would be different.

Well haven't you got the whole saying nothing down to a tee?

Would you care to explain why? Or are you just playing games?

Horseshit. FB is using the public internet to provide their "service". They profit from it and some of their subscribers also profit too by having access to 100s of millions of customers. They can't prevent a person from posting an opinion when it's Christian opinion of homosexuality. There is no other explanation FB changed its mind and reinstated the poster.

Yes, they can prevent whoever they like on their own website. That's the way it goes.

If I come on this site and jut start swearing all the time, I can be banned from this site.

What Facebook can't do is ban people based on race and things like that. However they can edit whatever they like on their own site.

Just as Christian businesses must now participate in gay weddings even though it is against their beliefs, Facebook is a public corporation and cannot ban me from using their service because my opinion is against their beliefs. You can't discriminate because of religion, remember? Why did FB reinstate the subscriber?

Facebook can't ban you from using their services for being black, or gay, or whatever. They CAN ban you from using their services for breaking their rules, and they can limit what you post. They can ban pornography, for example.

I didn't say Facebook was discriminating based on religion, did I? However they can prevent someone who is religious from writing certain things on their website.

But I doubt you're actually going to try and prove it. So this is a little bit of a waste of time.

Now stop spinning to support hate and bigotry.

Or maybe the reinstated the post for other reasons.

As for spinning and all that, I'm not going to be cowered from debate by you using such terms.
