Trump to sue Facebook, Twitter, Google over alleged censorship

[EvMetro]

Thank God that Donald Trump is standing up for all of our first amendment rights. These companies are confiscating peoples right to free speech and if we let that happen, it's goodbye America.

The 1st Amendment does give Trump the right to lie, and he tries to take advantage of that. But, the 1st Amendment does not prohibit social media outlets from not helping him to spread his lies. Bigly!!!

Commies always defend Censorship.

Neither you, nor Donald Trump, have a coherent understanding of our First Amendment rights.

I would agree that a private company cant really violate a person's 1st Amendment rights (wasnt that the arguement about the NFL and the kneeling? Funny how everyone has switched stances on basically the same issue). That said these social media platforms have set themselves up as the defacto "public square" so there are, and rightfully so, concerns about their ability to squash speech they dont like. And make no mistake that's what's happening. They can say it's about lying or misinformation or violations of their terms of service but it's that they dont like what's being said.

They also enjoy protections against liable and other forms of litigation based on their status as a platform and not a publisher. Once you start picking and choosing which things end up on your platform I think you should probably lose that protection.

The other issue is why would we want them to stifle speech? Regardless of what's being said. I want people like David Duke to run off at the mouth about their dip shit ideas. It lets me know who they. You arent changing his or people like him mind by kicking them off twitter. Dumb ideas only go away when they are drug out into the sunlight and argued in the open so that everyone can see exactly how stupid they are. Pushing them into the dark only lets them ferment and I would argue gives the purveyors of the ideas credibility by making it seem like they are truths society is afraid to admit or deal with.

Companies should, and do, have the right to block speech, like Trump's, which incites violence.

Commies always defend censorship.

One would think a president would understand the limitations on censorship applies to the government, not to the people.

I guess not.

Censorship is censorship, regardless of who does it. Only a commie would be on the side of censorship.

Do you believe hardcore pornagraphy should be censored from preschools, social media and public television stations?

Have to love that Fox News inserts the word "alleged" in their title. Hah. He is banned from some sites, how else is one defining censorship?

Trump to sue Facebook, Twitter, Google over alleged censorship, says they've 'ceased to be private'

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that he will lead a lawsuit over alleged censorship against Twitter, Facebook and Google, three tech companies that removed him from their platforms after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by a mob of his supporters.

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday is announcing that he will lead a lawsuit over alleged censorship against Twitter, Facebook and Google -- three tech companies that removed him from their platforms after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by a mob of his supporters.

The lawsuit will be a class-action, with Trump as the lead plaintiff, claiming that he's been censored by the companies, the Associated Press reported. He will speak about the legal action from his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Twitter, YouTube and Facebook each barred Trump over his false claims that the presidential election was stolen, alleging that he contributed to the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6. YouTube is owned by Google.

If you watch how this thread unfolds, not even one single lefty will take a stand against censorship. Every lefty reply on this thread will be in support of censorship. Lefties rely heavily upon censorship in order to sell their message.

Im just curious. If I wanted to post an ad on Facebook that would show up on everybody news feeds, even young children, and this ad featured a video of two guys having anal sex with close up camera views of the penetration... picture it for a second... now think about it... now let me know if you think that should be allowed.

Companies are able to set their own rules of service as long as they are not enforce arbitrarily and capriciously. In this case these media outlets have been selective about who they censor. That is discrimination and it is illegal.

Wrong.

Private social media have the First Amendment right to freedom of association – they’re at liberty to determine who will or will not participate, who will or will not be a member, and may exclude anyone they so desire for whatever reason, whereby doing so is neither discrimination nor illegal.

HaHaHa, I guess those rules only apply to florists and bakers and pizza outlets. SMH.

Those rules only apply when you want to punish political enemies. And you have no consistent values.

Exactly my point. FB, Instagram, and YouTube-Google are all guilty of precisely that.

Nope. They don't "enforce" anything. They are not government agencies.

SC, apparently censorship banning by Big Tech is only ALLEGED by Trump, but not by any of the court cases he tried to file about the election.

They were NEVER allegedly baseless, just BASELESS and DEBUNKED.

Yet no one can tell me how, when or by who?

I am not the least bit surprised to see lefties come up with a question like this that is so far from the thread topic. My god. You guys will do anything to justify censorship. Lefties are asking thread diversion questions like this, while schools are handing out condoms to 5th graders. Go on now, post something else that supports and defends censorship.

My question is right on topic... Why don't you go ahead and answer it and I'll explain exactly how it ties in... So would you allow hardcore porn to flow through the feeds of social media platforms for our children to be exposed to? Its a pretty obvious answer. don't be shy

At least you’re consistent at being wrong.

Public accommodations laws don’t violate the First Amendment right to freedom of association.

In Heart of Atlanta Motel v. U.S. (1964), the Supreme Court upheld as Constitutional Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibiting discrimination by private businesses open to the general public.

It is censorship no matter who does it but whether or not you can sue over it is something else. Noting simply facts is not taking a side. You can't ignore realities just because you have chosen a side.

It makes me sick to see the kind of stuff that lefties are picturing. Your imagination is quite vile. Why the fuck are you dreaming of this kind of shit?

How is stating simple facts left or right? It is not, it just is.

Wrong again.

They’re not ‘guilty’ of anything.

Your 'point' is ignorant idiocy.

You are a shameless lefty, so you will always support and defend censorship.

Not going here with your moronic circular bullshit. They ARE enforcing and the fact that they banned Trump is proof of that. Now take your idiotic shit down the road or post an intelligent reply.
