Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis To Sign Bill Banning Social Media ‘Deplatforming’

[dblack]

Facebook does not own the Florida internet providers. They can refuse to allow them access. And Fuckerberg could do nothing about it.

This isn't about Florida internet providers refusing to allow access.

 

[HenryBHough]

Laughable to see liberal panties all in a wad when the right finds ways to do with leftist thought police as has been done to innocent bakers and florists. Suck it up ladies. You bought it - you own it.

When companies engage in biased censorship and discrimination, that’s Exactly what the government is for and rightful to step in

Nope. No constitutional authority to do so.

The Big tech companies are government protected monopolies. As such, government has authority to regulate them.

Which government?

Federal government.

So federal law doesn't apply to Florida?

LOLOL

Fucking moron, the federal government did pass this law, Florida did. And Florida law doesn't apply to the federal government.

The state of Florida can stil regulate them since they are exempt from lawsuits.

Fucking moron, Florida law has nothing to do with federal law.

The federal government is a separate jurisdiction.

If the federal government can regulate Facebook, then so can Florida, moron.

LOLOLOL

You're such a fucking moron, it's hard to believe you can even turn on your own computer.

Fucking moron, Facebook is based in California. The federal government has jurisdiction there. Florida has no jurisdiction over California.

Facebook does business in Florida, moron. Therefore Florida can regulate it, just as it regulates every other company that does business in Florida.

You really have a problem with this logic stuff, don't you?

They have no physical presence in the state. Florida cannot strip them of their free speech rights and property rights.

Wrong. Facebook is using a public utility in the state of Florida’s internet service. Thus they can be denied access to that of Fuckerberg doesn’t clean up his act.

Wrong. Facebook is not a public utility. Florida cannot regulate them as a public utility.

Facebook does not own the Florida internet providers. They can refuse to allow them access. And Fuckerberg could do nothing about it.

That would be a monumental mistake for an ISP to block Facebook.

The laughable thing is the hypocrisy of those who recognize that this kind of policy is wrong, but support it anyway in the name of political retribution.

Nope. Try following the law and stop discriminating. Simple for everybody except people like you and Fuckerberg to understand. People don’t need Fakebook to send an email or make a call or text.

Republicans' concern for our rights is "conditional". It's different when they do it.

 

[hadit]

When companies engage in biased censorship and discrimination, that’s Exactly what the government is for and rightful to step in.

Remember this when a business owner discriminates against a same-sex couple.

Such is the hypocrisy of the right – conservatives can’t advocate for government action against social media because they hate social media yet oppose government intervention against business owners who discriminate against gay Americans because conservatives hate gay Americans.

Conservatives can’t have it both ways.

That then would also mean that liberals can't have it both ways either. They can't on the one hand oppose government action against social media because they adore any entity that restricts conservative speech yet advocate for government action against business owners who won't celebrate gay activities because liberals want to see people forced to celebrate things they don't want to celebrate. Or is that "different"?

No they are not. I rarely use Amazon except when they have the best price. I rarely use Google and I do not use a I-phone. If they were a monopoly, I would not be able to say that.

Google owns 90% of the search engine business. Facebook and Twitter control 90% of their markets. That was all the justifation needed to prosecute Standard Oil for restraint of trade.

Here is the problem with your post. Having a dominant market share is not proof of a monopoly.

According to the DOJ, it is. That's the only evidence they had against Standard Oil and Alcoa Aluminum

Google has plenty of competitors. I rarely use Google. If Google was a monopoly then that would not be possible. If people choose to use Twitter and Facebook then that is their right to do so.

Google owns youTube, and all it's competitors are tiny. These same argument wee used to defend Standard Oil, but they were convicted.

One thing you're forgetting is that the government protects Google from lawsuits.

They are a common carrier, which means they are not allowed to discriminate.

‘In a preliminary injunction issued on Wednesday, the judge sided with two trade associations that argued parts of the law may violate the First Amendment by requiring social media sites to host speech they otherwise would not and by interfering with their editorial judgment.

The plaintiffs also took issue with the fact that legislation targets large technology companies and not smaller companies that operate in similar – if not identical – ways.

The judge noted that the legislation was an effort to rein in providers that were deemed "too large and too liberal."

"Balancing the exchange of ideas among private speakers is not a legitimate governmental interest," U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle wrote.’

Florida Gov. DeSantisâ Big Tech law struck down by judge

A federal judge has temporarily prevented Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis from implementing legislation allowing state residents to sue the country’s largest technology companies over their content moderation policies.

"Balancing the exchange of ideas among private speakers is not a legitimate governmental interest"

Exactly.

Meaning, it’s not the government’s business, it’s not within the purview of government, it’s neither the role nor responsibility of government to dictate to private entities the content of their speech or with whom they wish to associate.

If Florida were smart it wouldn’t bother to appeal to avoid further embarrassment in court.

No it isn’t. You don’t have the right to censor one side, yet ignore blatant wrongdoing from the other. Facebook has no “right” to Florida’s internet service.

You’re as ignorant and dishonest as you are a hypocritical authoritarian hack.

Just because you think social media are being ‘mean’ to conservatives doesn’t warrant their illegal and un-Constitutional regulation.
