Federal court upholds Texas social media law, clearing way for users to sue over censorship

[westwall]

Never heard of LegalZoom?

Easy money, and really all I want to do is help you all shut down all these small sites since that is your end game.

Sure thing. Go for it. I expect your lawsuit to be filed by the end of next week.

"Many innocents were ruined by McCarthy, and you refuted nothing."


Many?


Let's see you name a single one.


Or.....we have proven you to be one more empty vessel filled with propaganda.


Speak up, Elmer.

Sure, Porky.

His own.

But you're derailing - start a thread about McCarthy & the many lives he ruined, and we can discuss it more there.

Thanks!

It depends on permitted use.

The government cannot seize private property for public use without compensation or consent.

Texas has neither in this case.

 

[MinTrut]

Such as?

Privately owned/maintained public space.

When can the public just take over private space?

Take over?

You're making a straw man argument.

Be specific.

Privately owned/maintained public space cannot legally restrict/censor free speech.

 

[westwall]

Just stating facts.

The Democrats aren't remotely left - they're liberal, and liberals DESPISE the left.

Yes - I wish conservatives would.

Believing that Democrats are the left is like thinking the Nazis were Jewish.

There is no progressive left; progressives are liberals, not leftists.

The left has little power in most countries, and none in the United States.

You are incorrect. Progressives ARE leftists, and leftists are statists

Your comment is both irrelevant to this discussion and at least partially incorrect.

Texas has neither in this case.

See above.

You are just rambling. Of course they can except to note, privately owned space is not public space to start with.

 

[MinTrut]

You are incorrect.

No.

Progressives ARE leftists,

Not remotely.

and leftists are statists

The libertarian left in the US will be quite surprised to learn this, as will the vast majority of US leftists.

 

[MinTrut]

^ Projection.

Of course they can except to note, privately owned space is not public space to start with.

Privately owned/maintained public space is quite common, and free speech cannot legally be restricted/censored there with few and obvious exceptions.

So we agree you were either lying or talking through your......hat.


Don't do it again: think before you post.

So common you can't name one that exists in real life.

Generalized rambling not saying anything.

 

[MinTrut]

Your concession is noted.

Don't do it again: think before you post.

Start a thread on the many lives McCarthy ruined; I won't again respond to your derailing flamebait on this one.

 

[MinTrut]

Generalized rambling not saying anything.

Yes, and you're usually a much better poster.

I look forward to your return to form.

 

[Marener]

It’s not irrelevant at all. It’s the fundamental difference between private and public property.

You and Texas seek to make Twitter a public space. You can’t do that. Not without Twitter’s consent or providing compensation in accordance with the 5th amendment.

Twitter isn’t public property and Texas can’t wave a magic wand making it so.

 

[pknopp]

Yes, and you're usually a much better poster.

I look forward to your return to form.

You have to actually supply something to reply to.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Your concession is noted.

What a scummy little brat you have turned into.

Another lie to hide that I eviscerated you.

Federal court rules Big Tech has no 'freewheeling First Amendment right to censor'

A federal appeals court upheld a Texas law on Friday that seeks to curb censorship by social media platforms -- a major victory for Republicans who charge companies like Twitter and Facebook are limiting free speech.

The justice bug is starting to catch up to big tech... they played with the big dogs of the democrat party and are getting burned.....

 

[Rambunctious]

The dems got caught deleting users and posts on Facebook and Twitter.... and that's a no no....
