Simple point, Google and the rest of private companies and have the right and power to ban anyone they damn well like
Only for specific reasons.....porn.....violent content....so-on. They can't ban speech just because they don't like it.
Yes they can, that's the problem. A private entity has no constitutional laws they have to follow. That's only for government.
Sounds like they're trying to engineer a government takeover of the internet.
I'm willing to bet they've already explored this.
If the Democrats take over Congress it will be on the agenda.
At any rate.....every time they ban someone...they open themselves up to lawsuits.
I don't think so. Only if it has to do with race or something like that. But outside of AM radio, the left owns everything else. They own our public schools, our colleges, Hollywood, any kind of entertainment, and now the internet.
Maybe you only believe "the left" controls everything?
Do you ever wonder if the "the right" is a minority, and what you (want to) perceive as "the left", is really a composite of the majority, which includes moderate Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Independents, the socially liberal and progressive set; and a small minority on the left of revolutionaries, those I consider to be on the idiot fringe who want change done yesterday.
Do you ever wonder about how we see "the right"? I suppose most if not all of those noted above perceive "the right" members' as extremists, inflexible, authoritarian and way out of touch with the majority.
'Those who don't wonder, the willfully ignorant, are now free to push the funny button.
