Trump

That is not the act of a free speech platform it's the act of a publisher and they should be treated as such Facebook and Twitter have had it both ways for far to long it's time for that to end.
Free speech is not absolute.

Facebook policy

14. Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity
Policy Rationale
We restrict the display of nudity or sexual activity because some people in our community may be sensitive to this type of content. Additionally, we default to removing sexual imagery to prevent the sharing of non-consensual or underage content. Restrictions on the display of sexual activity also apply to digitally created content unless it is posted for educational, humorous, or satirical purposes.
 
The big idiot is suing facebook and Twitter etc. Says it a restriction of his free speech or some other crap.
He must have forgotten they are privately owned. I wish him good luck.

Trump has taken up residence in your mind.
 
I wish Trump luck! He is on the right side about this issue!:thup:
Trump is using this lawsuit to raise money. The suit will go nowhere. If not dismissed by the courts, Trumps lawyers will withdraw from the lawsuit before it goes to discovery.
Positively stupid statement.

Trump didn't hire the tobacco lawsuit plaintiff lawyers to raise money....They're big time expensive.
Trump doesn't need money. This is a class action lawsuit. Once the judge certifies the class the judge will order the creation of the legal fund. Each defendant will then be ordered to deposit a sum of money into that fund to pay fees and costs. It's not like the peasants of Bhopal India could afford to take on Union Carbide.
 
They don't want to be sued they should apply there so called community standards fairly. Facebook and Twitter want to claim they are platforms for free speech where all can express their views and opinions yet they routinely block, censor and ban people opinions and information they don't agree with or like.
Facebrook, Twitter etc were hauled before congress and read the riot act. Either clean up your act, or congress will start passing draconian laws against them.

In response they picked cleaning up their own act, which meant stepped up enforcement of blocking "foreign propaganda", dangerous "fake news", and other posts that would violate their terms of service.
Yeah. They even banned the Doctor/Scientist who invented mRNA from discussing his own invention because "he was pushing misinformation."

Oh yeah? Facebook is being sued for complicity in child sex trafficking.

 
Oh yeah? Facebook is being sued for complicity in child sex trafficking.

Your citation:

This court ruling came after three Texas-based lawsuits had been brought against Facebook, alleging that the social media platform allowed sex traffickers to target minors. Most of the time, the victims would be lured by promises of a better future and modeling jobs that didn’t really exist. The lawsuit alleged that the tech giant was negligent when it came to protecting minors from the sex traffickers on this social media platform. The pimps enticed these sex trafficking victims with promises of love as well.

How do you propose facebook protect minors? Should they read everybodies communications? Right now they use algorithms to find content, which can't separate sex trafficking enticements, from ordinary human relations.
 
Maybe left wing idiots forgot that privately own corporations are not immune from law suits and are sued all the time.

Oh, anyone can sue for anything.

But when you sue a private company for a 1st amendment violation......you might want to read the 1st amendment. As its first word obliterates Trump's entire pseudo-legal gibberish argument.

This is nothing but a fund raiser to part dipshits from their money.

Anyone can sue anyone for anything. You can file a lawsuit that alleges that Facebook was complicit in the Lincoln assassination if you'd like.

Though your lawyer will want to be paid up front.

That excuse in court would hold no water.

That lawsuit wouldn't make it past the judge's clerk.
 
Help us own the libs and Big Tech by sending President Trump your money for our frivolous lawsuit!

Dunce caps.
I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.
This lawsuit isn't going to go anywhere. It's a donation seeking grift and nothing more.
Exactly this.

Trump announced his lawsuit at 12:01. At 12:03, the pleas for donations started:

At a certain point, you start losing sympathy for the poor rubes being fleeced again and again by the same conman.
 
Conservatives suddenly want a return of the Fairness Doctrine but applied only to big tech companies.
Have you ever heard of a Monopoly? Remember when Ma Bell had one?
there is nothing fair when you and a small few own 100% of the communication venues and control what people listen to. Stalin WOULD BE PROUD OF HOW YOU LEFTISTS CONTROL WHAT PEOPLE LISTEN TO.

Google is a monopoly? Here's 17 other search engines you can use instead:

A lawsuit requires some form of negligence, or failure to comply with a requirement.
Even an algorithm that targets conversations between adults and children, would flag every parent child message. Grandparents and grand children, etc.
There are no keywords, like "meet you" that aren't common.

So the idea of facebook being required to read everybodies communications isn't a tort, since they have no such responsibility.

Ma Bell remember that company?

Actually it would. A clerk can't stop the filing of a lawsuit unless basic legal requirements are met. That being the necessary fees are paid, and the necessary people served with process.

After that, it takes a motion before the judge to request the suit be dismissed.
 
Shortly after Twitter announced Friday afternoon that they were permanently suspending the account of President Trump, Google shared that they were removing Parler, a conservative social media app, from their Play Store

Parler was banned by the tech giant after it failed to comply with its content-moderation policies. It essentially required the social networking service to remove posts that incited violence. However, the platform's failure to do so ultimately led to the suspension.
 
Google shut down Parler so yes they have a monopoly
They didn't shut down parler, they removed it from their store. No different than Neiman Marcus removing the newtonian balls from their catalog.
if they didn't shut them down why is the page closed?
Google and Apple control who gets access to the internet
