Hahaha, right because it's only constitutional if someone else's ox is being gored. Leftists are such hypocrites.

Golfing Gator says he wants to be gored by RealDave 's ox.

here you go again, more sexual fantasies about me. Twice in the same week, I really have a hold on your little mind.

have you told your significant other (if you have one) about these fantasies you have about me?

What do YOU think should be done about a private business doing something?

The tech giants are regulated by the FTC. They are not doing their jobs and honestly weren't designed for regulating this type of industry/activity.

Like it or not the tech giants are now our new public forum and as such they need to follow the rules other public forums follow.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Censor liberal tweets the same way? Would that be too much to ask?

Yes, how about let free speech reign?

There is no free speech on a private server. I just ask that if one person is censored that all be censored the same way.

I predict they won't be "private" for long.

Yep. Trump socialists are going to declare them a "public utility".

No. I don't know what PUC is. Nor do I care. Are you trying to make a point or respond in some way to my post?

You should have stopped at “I don’t know”. That sufficiently explains your programming.

How so? Wha is it you *think* you know about me? I bet you're wrong.

I know you professed ignorance on a subject you were previously pontificating on.

I wasn't talking about California's PUC. That's your rambling.

Once again, freedom of speech doesn't mean you can use the government to force people to say what you want (or otherwise accommodate your ideas against their will). It means exactly the opposite. It means you CAN'T do that. Hopefully there's enough sanity left on the Court to recognize that vital fact

Of course you weren’t talking about it. You were spouting your programming.

Listen, do you have an argument at all? What is it? I'm not interested in your personal insults.

We can't have a free press defying the government! Something must be done!!!

What free press?

Are you saying that Twitter is the press, and not an open forum?

I'm saying it's not state property, not a 'public utility'.

 

[DOTR]

No? Be careful here. Are you claiming that California’s PUC *doesnt* enforce quotas for speech on communications companies in their jurisdiction?
Should I post their page?

No. I don't know what PUC is. Nor do I care. Are you trying to make a point or respond in some way to my post?

For you puritan liberals everything is a legal issue. But in the case the legalities are settled...monopolies not acting in the public interst are regulated or broken up all the time. Whether that is right or wrong..it is a fact. I am used to Democrats defending the interests of the elite.
What happened to Standard Oil? AT&T?
But forget the legalities. And know that your country is run by and the debate and agenda set by, these huge corporations. THEY decide who has the power to object.
So at the very least why dont we pull their protections? Because they are breaking the law.

47 U.S. Code § 230 - Protection for private blocking and screening of offensive material

We should. We should repeal all those laws, across the board. But you're not advocating for that. You want to do it selectively, just to bully companies who aren't doing what you want. It's the worst kind of hypocrisy and it's exactly why all those perks and protections are so poisonous to begin with. They might sound like the serve some noble interest, but in point of fact they are simply tools for authoritarians to exert power over opposition.

No I dont have an argument. Its pretty much settled. The elites control all communication in this country. And they use their monopoly power to shut down dissent. Its that simple.

And before you go on about "start your own twitter" let me show you what happens. We did start our own...GAB. Totally free speech with no censorship. It rolled out nationally to over 100,000 users the first week and clibed to above 450,000 the first month. Then Visa, Mastercard and Paypal cut off any and all money transfers to them. Gofundme banned any campaigns to support them. Both Apple and Google Playstore banned the app on their phones. Cloudflare pulled their DDOS protection. Google gamed their search results and their Chrome browser bans plugins related to GAB.

You can continue the "there is nothing you can do about who rules you" if you like. Its because you have been trained in government subservience. Liberalism is puritanism and legalism run amok.

The authoritarians are strangling free speech. An you enable it. You would rather hear no opposition. Thats to your own detriment.

Don’t be gay.
Don’t like black people?
Avoid them.

You're confusing freedom of speech with the power to make other people to do what you want. The Constitution protects us from people who would use the government to control what people think and say.

Do you realize how much you sound like a straight up Marxist? These are all the same excuses they use when they want to nationalize private companies.

Right. So Twitter is going to screen the President of the USA's comments for CONTENT.
Wish I had a Twitter account so I could cancel it.
You know this is just going to backfire in the Left's face and just make people want to vote for him more!

Not just his moron.

Yup no wonder why people get shot by cops, you to have no respect for authority, first amendment and the office of the president.

Why would I have respect for the office of the president when the man elected president has no respect for the office of the president?

It always amazes me the pretzel logic of liberals. For them, apparently respect for the Office of the President is CONDITIONAL, which means it isn't real respect at all. Apparently they conflate the man holding the office with the Office itself. The Left have made it plain they have NO respect for Mr. Trump, now they admit no respect for the office itself.

The really amazing thing is that when Bill Clinton was using the office of the president to abuse women and abuse his power to sexually molest underlings working there in a way that would heap scorn on any CEO or boss elsewhere forcing young girls to give him oral gratification right in the Oval Office then ordered them to cover it up to protect him, that wasn't disrespect for the Office. It was just a "blow job." You know, like any boss should get from his secretaries 'Harvey Weinstein' style.

Yet they rail and rail about something Trump merely SAID, a vague claim he made 15 years ago boasting as a jet set playboy.

And when Obama sat around trashing the Resolute Desk with his feet up on it like it was some dirty park bench, a gift from Queen Victoria herself from the 19th century made from the timbers of the USS Resolute, that wasn't disrespect for the Office. No, Obama was good as gold.

But let President Trump simply carry forward HIS policies the way he wants them, and not comport democratic values in a way democrats want as if their opinions mattered all the time, such as just WINNING THE FREEKING ELECTION when half the democrats demonstrated scorn for the Office by not even showing up for the swearing in ceremony, and respect for the Office is out the door. Yep. It is TRUMP who hasn't respect for Office.

Leftard goons. Never sure whether to just pity and laugh at them or whether they really need their heads slammed in a car door. Somehow I doubt that would help knock any sense in them.

I can go to their comments section and publish away. And yes I cannot publish main articles because they decide what goes into articles and Twitter is quickly deciding who can and cannot post hence they are closer to the NYT than AT&T as they claim. If they allow you to post that Trump is Satan but ban me for posting that Liz Warren is Satan. They are basically controlling content and are closer to the Times than Time Warner.

They do not claim to be ATT, that is just your spin, not them.

They will allow you to post either of those.

If Twitter gets treated that way, every site on the web needs to be also. The Christian forum I was a part of needs to allow full and total access to anyone that wants to post there, else they should be treated like a newspaper also.

Twitter should be treated like USMB. Pretty similar? Yet Twitter receives greater protections than USMB. Ask the Mods. Why is that? If they are truly just an internet conduit of info. then why do they block content? They should not block anything but allow the users to block content, which they may but Twitter, which leans Left is blocking conservatives. I am not on Twitter but I find that alarming if in fact they claim to be just a conduit and not like the NYT..a source for biased info.

They block content because as your link above alluded to, they can still be sued for what is on their site

Then they should not advertise or be classified as a neutral provider of content. They block what they deem is offensive. Subjective. Should be regulated as such imo. We are going in circles we need a third party to moderate.

Being a neutral provider of content does not prohibit you from blocking content that would damage your company.

Which is subjective. Hence you’re not neutral.
