Depends how you say it.Twitter and Facebook don’t say they’re the best place to check out unhinged conspiracy theories and harassment of transgendered people, do they?Twitter and Facebook claim the right to take down content they find objectionable because it’s being hosted on their property.Free discourse does not require anyone else to publish your shit posts. Never has. Never will.Ah, the old “I wouldn’t be an authoritarian thug if you just submit to my demands” line. You’re just doing great at this.What’s the fine going to be for kicking shit posters off Twitter?Sounds like a rebranding of authoritarianism.It's a new concept of commons, a digital commons.
Sounds like argumentum ad absurdum.
This coming from someone who supports 430k fines for someone not baking a cake.
Gay people didn’t do anything to the baker. Shit posters on Twitter are turning Twitter into a cesspool.
They don't have to fine them, because twitter wouldn't have to do anything except live up to its supposed goal of being an open discussion platform.
The baker didn't have an issue with serving a gay person, they didn't want to make a wedding cake for a same sex wedding.
The only reason he didn’t want to serve them a cake is because he did have issue with them, through no fault of their own. If the gay couple had been taking a dump in the middle of his bakery, I’d be all for kicking them out. However, someone makes Twitter a cesspool and you want to force Twitter to help them do it. Hell no.
He does not believe same sex unions are marriages, and didn't want to make a cake for that one specific event.
On the other hand Twitter has become vital to the countries political discourse, and thus regulating it is in the best interest of the country.
It’s in the best interest of trolls, but not the nation.
It's in the best interest of free discourse, something you can't stand because you know you would lose.
The internet is a digital commons. Facebook and Twitter are not.
and when someone tries to make an alternative to either, then they go after the servers, then the banks, then the access providers, then the people using it. All to silence the opposition.
Twitter and facebook claim to be open platforms hosting others content, and they are lying, and you are OK with them lying.
I feel the same way.
You want to make laws regarding common carrier status for access providers, I’m all for it. In fact, we already did that.
You only feel the same way because it's people you don't like being silenced. You aren't for free speech, you are for your speech.
I feel that way because I know that the internet is full of trolls who enjoy destroying what other people have built.
And you want the government to force people to let them do it.
you only care about "trolls" you disagree with. Lefty trolls are fine for you.
I want government to force them to live up to what they are saying they are providing.
Because that’s what you’re really defending here.
Saying men are men and women are women is harassment?
You’re distorting the concept of free speech with your newthink. It’s not about speech, we both know this. Everyone has freedom speech, Twitter couldn’t take that away. You’re looking for two things. Freedom from consequences and the right to have an audience. Neither of those are necessary for freedom of speech.
