Just say No!

Not talking about "public" companies, but private ones. Private property is sacrosanct to a free society. Laws that give special favors to some citizens over others erode that freedom.

What's dumb is to think the laws you cited "enable the business to exist". Cuz for sure we all know businesses didn't exist before those laws...

If you serve the public...you are a public company for the purposes of this discussion.

Try thinking about how difficult running a business would be without laws, law enforcement, infrastructure and other publicly
funded necessities having to do with health and education.

Businesses only exist because the community affords them the opportunity.

Nope, still private property, still a private business. Public is owned by government. Nice try, but you don't get to change the definition of words to suit your world view.

You are playing with words to avoid the meat of the issue. That's to be expected.

Ironic. The meat of the issue is that business operate because people make voluntary decisions to engage in trade, not because central planners pick and choose winners and losers in exchange for political support.

True, that is to be expected.

You didn't spend much time thinking there, did ya?

On your posts? Never.

The problem with Facebook and Google is that they don't do anything until they are accused of breaking the law.

It would be ridiculous to believe they were unaware of Russian trolls. I cannot believe Google employees were not reading any comments to Youtube videos last year, or two years ago. Russian/Trump trolls post political comments even on videos that have no political content.

Twitter, on the other hand, put warnings immediately.

Dumb argument.

Public companies only exist because they take advantage of protections afforded them by the laws of the community and the
infrastructure which is funded by the community.

A business can refuse to serve a dude because he isn't wearing shoes or because his hair is too long. But they can't
refuse a person due to race, gender, age, religion or disability...because the laws we make as a community, which enable the business to exist, protect people from discrimination.

Want to tell a negro he can't come into your store? Get the laws changed.

FB is telling a customer that they can't use their platform to LIE to people. This has nothing to do with public accommodation laws.

I don't know why Trumpsters and progressives aren't celebrating their "common ground".
