The election is over so why is social media still banning/deleting posts they deem wrong?

[BlindBoo]

What is it about the freedom of the press that you don't understand.

It's not free if the powers that be can force them to publish what it wants.

 

[bripat9643]

Whats the goal here?

They don’t want to be a hotbed of conspiratorial nonsense.

You mean they want to suppress opinions and information they disagree with.

Who do you think you're fooling?

I mean that they are a business and advertisers don’t like their ads appearing on the pages of lunatics.

There are plenty of advertisers what would love to have their ads posted on rightwing pages.

You idiots kill me when you display your naked hatred for freedom of speech.

Why do you call yourselves "liberal" or "progressive?" Stalinists is what you are.

Not enough to pay the bills for the torrent of bullshit you lunatics put in the internet.

We are talking about massive companies, not stupid little right wing blogs.

The hatred of freedom comes from you thugs who demand social media do as you say.

Yeah, right. Censorship means freedom. War is peace.

Freedom of speech costs nothing. Censorship is what requires massive armies of Stalinist douchebags.

You're the lowest bucket of piss in the universe.

But you’re forgetting that this “censorship” isn’t occurring in the public sphere. It’s not occurring on government property.

It’s occurring on private servers paid for by private money. You are a thug trying to tell people what to do with their property. Because you know what? Running a massive website isn’t actually free!

It's occuring with government protection, scumbag. The cost of lawyers isn't free when the government isn't protecting you from lawsuits.

No one needs government to protect them from the consequences of chucking you lunatics off their property. That’s their constitutional right to do so.

The you should support terminating Section 230. Why are you fighting so hard to defend it?

Because the internet would be a steaming pile of shit without it.

You lunatics would burn it all down.

YEs, I imagine from the point of view of a bootlicking Stalinist dirtbag, it would be a pile of shit. However, now it's a pile of shit for anyone who isn't a brainwashed minion of the deep state.

The Stalinist is the one who wants to force private individuals to do to your bidding.

I have no intention of forcing them to do my bidding. I just don't want them protected from lawsuits while they persecute half the population of this country.

That argument is completely fake. You all are pissed off at Facebook and Twitter because they're flagging your posts for the bullshit they are, and you want big daddy government to punish them. Same old statist crap - using the government to bully people you don't like.

But, I know, it's different when you do it.

Anyone who wants some mega corporation deciding what the truth is identifies himself as a Stalinist. It's utterly hilarious how Trump hating turds believe censorship is a form of freedom.

You can decide 'truth'. Just not on someone else's website.

By your logic I can stroll into your living room, spray paint 'President-Elect Biden Wins Again!' on the wall and you can neither stop me nor ever take it down or cover it up.....else you're a 'Stalinist'.

You simply have no idea what you're talking about.

Spare me. I'm done arguing with douchebags about this. It takes almost no effort to spout your idiocies. debunking them takes 100 times more.

I decide what is truth. None of these websites has any ability to decide that for me.

It’s utterly hilarious how you lunatics think forcing people to do your bidding is freedom.

That's pretty standard fare for liberals though.

 

[Beef_Supreme]

Whats the goal here?

Suppress anger from the right befor the runoff senate race?

Force congress to break them up/strip them of protections?

Think they can permanently control public discourse if they just keep the propaganda machine oiled with the fresh remains of the 1st amendment?

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

www.bloomberg.com

Seriously can't say this loud enough....

FUCK THESE COMPANIES!

Why are they still doing it? Because they can.
They gave it a shot, and half the country (democrats) are cool with it. They haven’t faced any real blow back. The media isn’t beating up in them, because they are cool with the censoring of their opponents.
So it’s all good. This is the new norm.
A step has been taken, it was successful, and it’s not the new norm.

I guess CNN is out of business!

CNN managed to relay the election results in a far more accurate way than say.....OAN, NewsMax or that occultist youtube conspiracy theorist that told you what to think for weeks.

CNN lied about every breath Trump took for the last 4 years.

It's fine to think that FB and Twitter are providing a shitty service because of their censorship policies. And it's fine to complain about it. But the urge to "crack down" on them with government is straight-up, big government liberalism. It's hilarious, and predictably hypocritical, that people who like to think of themselves as conservatives or libertarians are so hell bent on this.

IMO, if you can't treat them like a publisher, they should not be censoring content. They should not receive, for example, protection from liability if a liberal hater doxes a conservative and his children die in a house fire while simultaneously being free to censor that conservative's expression of his views.

You can have that opinion but that leads to unintended consequences.

See, what you’re suggesting is exactly what we had back in the day, in the 1990s. There would be forums and they would be moderated so when objectionable content gets posted, they’d take it down. Well, the courts then made them liable for everything posted on their sites. So either you’d have to leave up everything on the website no matter how objectionable, or be responsible for the content of every person.

And that was not a situation that could be sustained.

It's not an ideal world and compromises must be made. I understand that.

I’d rather a few

It could not be "sustained" only if Dim douchebags wanted to retain power. They can't tolerate people speaking the truth.

The truth is you are a bunch of thugs with no respect for private property.

Stand on a street corner and spout your nonsense. You have my full support. Demand that someone do it for you, then go to hell.

Public accommodation laws really need to be worked out with regards to social media. It is not right that a person can be denied access to a publicly offered service based on the opinions he/she expresses.

Same as refusing service at a store or public conveyance.

It is the same. And this is exactly why libertarians argue vehemently against the "public accommodations" bullshit in the first place. It's just a wedge for statists to expand control.

What we have has not been freedom of the press for many decades. All of this cable and satellite TV and all of this social media. It has good points....and it has bad points that is tearing us apart for pushed political views. We were better off with a few networks and a few UHF type stations in many areas.
