What is this BS going around that the first Amendment only applies to the government, not Facebook

[buckeye45_73]

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Obvious, actually.

So can Walmart not hire conservatives or gays or whatever? Walmart is not public, they are private

Conservatives are not a protected class.

Then neither are democraps. like you, which means you have no right to Express your opinion. In your view that is, I believe you have the right to be stupid

No one said Democrats are a protected class, ya flamin’ moron.

They sure act like it and are protected by the media

Cries s rightard on a thread about how conservatives should be a protected class who should have the right to post on Facebook without being censored.

I’m tellin’ ya folks, you can’t make this shit up.

 

[Syriusly]

Seriously if Facebook can censor conservatives and it is not subject to the first Amendment, because it is not a public entity, but a private one, then we can all violate the first Amendment since we are all private entities.

So can Walmart not hire a certain color people? They are a private company.

Who thought this nonsense thru?

That's some very strange logic you have there.

You're applying talking about laws. Those are very separate things.

The constitution isn't our labor laws. The constitution doesn't have anything to do with labor laws. Labor laws specifically apply to employers.

We have laws that prohibit discrimination in hiring.

The constitution and those laws are two very different things and to try to equate one with the other is dishonest and ridiculous.

The purpose of the first amendment is to protect free speech. At the time it was written, there were no trillion dollar companies with the power to limit anyone's speech, not one

You obviously didn't read the first amendment and you're saying our constitution is the same as our labor and discrimination laws.

Walmart can't refuse to hire a minority because of our labor laws. Not because of the first amendment.

Our labor laws clearly state it applies to employers.

Our first amendment applies to the constitution. The first amendment says congress can't pass any laws abridging free speech. It doesn't say an employer can't create laws that abridge free speech.

You seriously need to learn the english language and the difference between the constitution and our labor and discrimination laws comrade.

Your whole argument is nothing but a lie.

The first amendment was written to protect freedom. It mentioned only the govt because at the time there were no companies able to deny freedoms to the public, this is no longer the case.

So you approve of Walmart not serving conservatives if they so chose?

Interesting

I find your ignorance of history to be as vast as your ignorance of the First Amendment.

The press was entirely privately owned and was viciously partisan at the time the First Amendment was implemented. If there was any intention of 'Freedom of the Press' meaning that private companies couldn't be partisan then the First Amendment would have been written so.

Walmart can chose to not serve conservatives- or liberals- or redheads.

And who Walmart chooses to serve or not serve has nothing to do with the Constitution.

Your ignorance is as vast as the oceans and as shallow as Trump's family values.

So can Walmart...…?

Is Walmart Congress? Is Walmart passing a law?

Walmart is not public, they are private

And?

Again moron.

Facebook is a publicly traded private company
Walmart is a publicly traded private company

Thus Walmart can choose not to let conservatives shop in their stores, if Facebook is allowed to ban conservatives.

Anyone with a private company could choose not to hire a certain group because of their beliefs.

This is not the law as it stands.

How long would this fly?

No the first amendment only applies to government and not a private company like Walmart.

The problem is Facebook could be seen as a monopoly or even a utility....which means they need to cut this shit out. Let people figure out what is fake and what is not......it's not Facebook's job.

Well that would be one way to get government to regulate FB and compel FB to do what the government wants.

Of course if it is a monopoly- we have laws that would address that- and none of them have anything to do with telling them what speech they allow on their platform.

We all have the right to express our opinion free from interference from the government.

We have no right to express our opinion on FB or USMB or the New York Times or Infowars.

I don’t follow him to know, or care, why FB wants him banned. I do know it’s a private website just like this one; where anyone can be banned for any reason at any time. And to protect themselves from lawsuits brought on by his lunacies, any business, including FB, is wise to banish him.
