Supreme justice suggests treating Twitter and Facebook as utilities so they can be regulated

[Billy_Kinetta]

Excellent.

In a concurring opinion Monday, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said social-media companies have too much power over public speech, suggesting they be treated as utilities so they can be regulated by the government.

Clarence Thomas pushes new way to deal with social giants

Thomas is wrong, of course.

This opinion illustrates why Thomas is not fit to serve on the Supreme Court, that he would buy into the lie that social media are ‘hostile’ toward conservatives.

Such is the authoritarian right.

Token has spoken.

 

[AFrench2]

Agreed. We need to expand and grow government to cover technology companies. Kinda odd to hear Clarence Thomas espouse Liberalism...but whatever I guess

You're wrong, 100 percent of the time because you lie.

He is exactly right.....they can be either a platform like a phone, or a publisher, they can't be both and be protected as if they were both.

If they are a platform, they can't edit...

If they are a publisher, and they edit, they can then be sued for what they allowed on their sites....

Those are the two choices...

I note with interest that you do not explain your rationale.

It's a fucking weird forum today...one conservative made a topic praising Biden for catching 2 terrorists at the border, and now you're making a topic praising big government overreach into corporations.

Maybe y'all are waking up finally.

Liberalism isn't govt takeovers of the private sector. Thats called regressive illiberalism.

Uh actually government takeover of the private sector is like, textbook liberalism and bordering on communism. Thanks for playing, dingus. Have a good day

Only question is which will occur first. Government reigning them in or the citizens taking matters into their own hands.

Liberalism is support of individual liberty and small govt. What you jerk off to is regressive illiberalism.
Raping of words and ideals is what you regressive illiberals do. So it shouldn't surprise me you sit there and try to change the meaning.

Oh yeah you know that FDR...totally a proponent of small government.

Government can break up monopolies. Government can control the content of what is broadcast to a degree. Since it opened up a lot over the last few decades, TV seems much darker in entertainment. Cynical, jaded and obnoxious in talk programs of all types. Used for pushing social justice while destroying people that do not toe the line for globalist agendas and condemning a good part of the population for their political views and the eroding of Christianity by force.

He hasn't yet uploaded to YouTube a video of him pouting and stamping his feet.

So, you're admitting that Liberalism and Communism are the same thing.

No need for more government; government invariably fucks things up.

We have existing laws regarding the responsibilities of publishers. That's what the socials are acting like. So they need to have their responsibilities enforced.

It must first be legally defined what they are. Then they can be held to it.
