Media Left Wing Censorship in Action - Closing a Conservative Private Board

Investors Discussion Board - IDB politpub

This has been a long time conservative discussion spot by invitation only with a no trolls allowed special feature. A couple of years ago the lefty IDB Board's owners restricted new members to the Pol-pub board which was their most popular board of all by taking it private so that only old members could use it. Now without a legitimate explanation they are closing this board altogether and our free speech spot will be taken away in one week.

This is scary stuff! UNABASHED CENSORSHIP...

The owners tried to make it a "secret" board when they took it private and not allowing new members. They did succeed in strangling the once very active and productive discussion there as posting has dropped off in recent months.

So it's a privately owned company that decides to make changes with it's set up and that's "censorship"?

Coyote, Interesting I see you make rules for this US Discussion Board.That is not encouraging to me. I see my posts reaching your page 2 in record time!!
But to answer your question IDB bills itself as a place for developing free discussions on any topic - in other words a place for free speech. The polpub Board was by far their most popular spot when the lefty owners took it "dark" and only allowed existing users - no new blood. So this is a Investor Discussion Board encouraging free speech except when it threatens their lefty(perhaps NWO) corrupt agenda.

I don't make the rules, but this board, probably like the one you referenced is a privately owned entity. In my experience every single messageboard I"ve been on is privately owned and the owners make determinations as to what constitutes free speech. I don't see how it's censorship when it's privately owned. I've been some places I didn't like, so I left.

But privately owned bakeries have to bake cakes for those they don't want to...

This falls under business rights, sometimes shitty, but yea they can censor anything they want for any reason they want.

They also can't discrimminate on the basis of race by having separate drinking fountains.

On the other hand - no one can force them to make fried chicken when they specialize in cake.

 

[EverCurious]

That's debatable, they can force said person to make a wedding cake for something they don't consider to be a wedding.

They can't discriminate against a person because he's gay. If they don't consider it a wedding then maybe they don't consider a mixed race wedding to be a wedding.

It's a fine line.

 

[EverCurious]

But you can discriminate against someone based on political beliefs? -- Could private schools discriminate against Kellyanne Conway’s children because of her GOP connection?

A fine line indeed.

I don't think that is right. Not at all.

 

[EverCurious]

Yes well it goes right along with the left wing idea that Milo can't speak at UC Berkely heh

All the fine lines.

In short, you only have rights in the instances that the left agrees with you.
