Your idiotic straw man spamming is noted.The government must take over. Only the omnipotent power of the state can save us.

And this, sad to say, is the thread win:
Trump's Truth Social barred from Google Play store over content moderation concerns
As has been pointed out repeatedly, no one can compete with Facebook, Twitter, et al because the gatekeepers of the new public square will shut them down, forcing The People back onto their platforms.
SCOTUS must weigh in.
It's different when "we" do it.So, functionally the fairness doctrine. Again. Something that you have been avoiding directly addressing.
How do you think this is any different than what the democrats have been calling for the past few decades?
^ Can't see his own ox being gored.How dare companies have standards the those wishing to do business with them must follow.
Monopolies are quite evil indeed.Such things should be illegal.
Monopolies are quite evil indeed.
One can only hope that SCOTUS weighs in, and properly
And see it shut down by the Big Tech monopoly.They are a natural outcome of capitalism. They are neither evil nor good, they just are.
But they are irrelevant to this discussion. The internet is basically infinite, pretty much anyone can start a site at anytime, I have had a few myself over the years. If there were a monopoly you and I would not be having this discussion.
Yes, must get big brother to punish success whenever possible.
And see it shut down by the Big Tech monopoly.
You're choosing not to get it, but that's who you are, bless you.
Agreed. This discussion is about whether we want to drive off a totalitarian cliff.But they are irrelevant to this discussion.
Agreed. This discussion is about whether we want to drive off a totalitarian cliff.
Both the left and the right want to sink their claws into social media, so it's probably going to happen. Once freedom of speech goes, the slippery slope gets steeper.
Like I've said elsewhere, the courts would settle on a precedent that essentially recreates sec. 230. People don't want to shut down the internet. So we won't.As soon as you hold FB or Twitter to the same standard as an actual publisher sites like this will cease to exist overnight.
You notice how they can't actually name the singular company that compromises 'big tech monopoly' as they are well aware there is not one. A secret cabal of companies needs to be invoked along with a myriad of other conspiracy theories to even make sense of the idea.Yet here we are, bad mouthing the Big Tech monopoly. I could go to 1000 other sites and do the same thing.
Pretty shitty monopoly
If that was the solution, you may have a point. You know that is not the solution though. DeSantis did not remove 230 protections, he put in his own requirements and no one is seriously talking about simply repealing 230.Like I've said elsewhere, the courts would settle on a precedent that essentially recreates sec. 230. People don't want to shut down the internet. So we won't.
This. Same shit, different argument: "Problem: Health care is controlled by handful of powerful corporations. Solution: Single payer!" - and generally delivered with no appreciation for the irony.And the solution to this mysterious monopoly, cement the monopoly into law. That is the ticket.
I'm calling their bluff. If removing section 230 would satisfy them, I'm all for repealing it.If that was the solution, you may have a point. You know that is not the solution though.
I am 100% for Ron DeSantis, because he turns Cancel Culture back on Progressives. Hopefully more Conservatives embrace Cancel Culture and apply it to Intolerant Leftists.This is about vengeance, or at least that's where the popular support is coming from. People are embracing retaliatory government in the name of the culture war. That's what they love about Desantis. He uses state power to go after woke companies, and anyone else the populists don't like.
Hopefully they will -- there are 6 Conservatives on SC.As has been pointed out repeatedly, no one can compete with Facebook, Twitter, et al because the gatekeepers of the new public square will shut them down, forcing The People back onto their platforms.
SCOTUS must weigh in.
Then don't visit their sites. Even a moron or a Trumper can figure that out.And they are selling our data for profit... SO, IT IS NOT FREE.
Exactly. Republicans are adopting the tactics of liberals, and the values that go with them. What good does it do to elect Republicans if they're going to govern like Democrats?I am 100% for Ron DeSantis, because he turns Cancel Culture back on Progressives. Hopefully more Conservatives embrace Cancel Culture and apply it to Intolerant Leftists.
At best, you're choosing not to get it.Yet here we are, bad mouthing the Big Tech monopoly. I could go to 1000 other sites and do the same thing.
Pretty shitty monopoly
Liberals control social media.Agreed. This discussion is about whether we want to drive off a totalitarian cliff.
