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

[Rambunctious]

Maybe just maybe we will see Biden brought to justice for this kind of shit.....

 

[Rambunctious]

We may see the end of twitter and facebook in our lifetime... I wonder if they will know what happened to them and why.... you can't take political sides as a company in the USA without taking a risk.....

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

Free speech cannot legally be censored/silenced in POMPS with a few obvious exceptions.

You and Texas seek to make Twitter a public space.

See above.

You can’t do that.

See above.

Not without Twitter’s consent or providing compensation in accordance with the 5th amendment.

See above.

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

See above.

You have to actually supply something to reply to.

I hope you some day grasp the issues at play here.

Here's a link to another USMB thread discussing them:

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.....

One can only hope.

What a scummy little brat you have turned into.

Another lie to hide that I eviscerated you.

And your concession is noted.

Well, censoring/silencing free speech in POMPS is a bad idea with a few obvious exceptions.

Wal Mart banned me for wearing a billboard saying "Shop Target better prices".

Not really but Wal Mart not allowing that is what you are arguing.

Earlier, I explained what an Elmer is....



....one poster, Elmer, came up with this knee-jerk post from one of the indoctrinated:



“ There were hundreds if not thousands of people who lost jobs, careers, even families based on McCarty's (sic) over reach and list he compiled and interrogated. Innocent people.”

Yea Or Nay?



One hears this time and again from the indoctrinated....

If this is true…..it should be eminently simple to prove.



When challenged, he could not name a single such innocent ruined by McCarthy......yet he doubled down with his lies, continuing to blame McCarthy.



And now you....when given documentation that refutes your post, the same.





Another Elmer.

Were you in a WalMart POMPS at the time?

If so, you might have a case against them.

Your comment makes no sense, but see above.

No I wouldn't, but you know that.

No exception needed since social media websites don’t qualify under this definition.

It’s a thread where you make the exact same unsupported argument.

The government can’t convert privately owned property to public space because they feel like it.

For example:

Privately Owned Public Space Overview - DCP

Privately Owned Public Space POPS are an amenity provided and maintained by a developer for public use, in exchange for additional floor area. In 2007, the NY City Council adopted revised standards to facilitate the design and construction of unique and exciting outdoor spaces that are truly...

www1.nyc.gov

“This webpage offers an overview of New York City’s Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS), which are outdoor and indoor spaces provided for public enjoyment by private owners in exchange for bonus floor area or waivers, an incentive first introduced into New York City’s zoning regulations in 1961.”

NYC offered private owners incentives to get them to allow their spaces to be used for the public.

It is a voluntary agreement.

There is no such agreement with social media websites.
