Fascism is not when a private companies dictates policy.. Fascism is when a govt. dictates policy...
What is hilarious is how this thread displays the deep and vast ignorance that USMB conservatives have about what Fascism is- what Capitalism is- and what the First Amendment is.
It's kind of interesting watching so called "liberals" abandoning traditional liberal values as they make a sprint for the right side of the spectrum vacated by those who bolted to the alt-right. You people have lost your minds.
What is more sad is pigeon holing liberals that have never done as such...
Am I missing something? Are "liberals" not on here defending corporations who are attempting to limit speech?
Yes, you are indeed missing something.
Liberals are not ‘defending’ corporations who are attempting to ‘limit speech’ because corporations have no authority to limit free speech – only government has that authority.
Again, the principle of free speech applies solely to the relationship between government and those governed, not between the people and private corporations.
Google is at liberty to refuse to host rightwing hate, bigotry, and racism – where no ‘free speech’ has been ‘violated.’
And conservatives are at liberty to not patronize Google and call for a boycott of Google in retaliation.
That’s how our free and democratic society is designed to work, as envisioned by the Framers: private citizens debating the issues of the day absent the interference of government or the courts.
