Now you are arguing for authoritarian big government actions to address this still?

Protecting every Americans first amendment CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS is the antithesis of authoritarian.

Your first amendment right does not apply when using Farsebook and Twatter and they have every right to remove and block content just like USMB, but you and those like you will disagree and believe you should be allow to post anything you deem appropriate even when it is not...

After rule 230 is repealed and Google and Facebook are dismantled because of anti-trust violations, then what you say might not be laughed at.

Whats the goal here?

They don’t want to be a hotbed of conspiratorial nonsense.

You mean they want to suppress opinions and information they disagree with.

Who do you think you're fooling?

I mean that they are a business and advertisers don’t like their ads appearing on the pages of lunatics.

There are plenty of advertisers what would love to have their ads posted on rightwing pages.

You idiots kill me when you display your naked hatred for freedom of speech.

Why do you call yourselves "liberal" or "progressive?" Stalinists is what you are.

Not enough to pay the bills for the torrent of bullshit you lunatics put in the internet.

We are talking about massive companies, not stupid little right wing blogs.

The hatred of freedom comes from you thugs who demand social media do as you say.

Suppress anger from the right befor the runoff senate race?

Force congress to break them up/strip them of protections?

Think they can permanently control public discourse if they just keep the propaganda machine oiled with the fresh remains of the 1st amendment?

McConnell congratulates Biden on his victory as more Republicans abandon Trump’s fight

"Today, I want to congratulate President-elect Biden," the Senate majority leader said on Tuesday.

www.nbcnews.com

After weeks of delay, the top Republican in the Senate, Mitch McConnell acknowledged on Tuesday that Joe Biden will be the next president following an Electoral College vote officially certified his win on Monday.

"Today, I want to congratulate President-elect Biden," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday on the Senate floor, after a speech heralding President Donald Trump's achievements.


Members of his leadership team also acknowledged the result.

So sorry for your sadness, you will need to get over your depression, or maybe find another nation which best suits you: Authoritarian, anti democratic and regressive.

Am I mistaken or Is this not the case? If you are a platform for expression, you have certain freedoms from the consequences of what is posted on your platform, but in exchange, you cannot censor what is published on your platform. Example being a phone company. You can't sue Verizon because you got a death threat from a liberal in a phone call, but then Verizon can't monitor phone calls and cut off conversations that support President TRUMP! (and just to note for the peanut gallery, that's what he will be called the rest of his life, chuckle). If, OTOH, you're a publisher, you have the luxury of censoring viewpoints you don't like, but are then more liable for what your publication expresses. Example being a magazine. They are free to publish articles written by anti-TRUMP! writers, but you can sue them if a liberal writer identifies your neighborhood as being pro-TRUMP! and a deranged liberal sets your house on fire. It seems to me that the big social media companies want the protections of being a platform but the freedom to censor of being a publisher. That needs to be resolved one way or another.

Either way, the First Amendment doesn't enter into it.

[my2¢]

Rush & Fox don't actively suppress the opinions of the opposite party. In fact they promote those opinions because it gives them fuel for their own positions.

Looking for fuel to prop their own positions sure wouldn't give me confidence I'm being providing the best and brightest representation of opposing views.

That's not the point. Let's keep the goalposts firmly planted shall we.

I've left where the goalposts are planted entirely up to you. If you have trouble recalling who ventured from the originial point refer back to posts #44 and #45. Just as this one refers back to #52.

Q. The election is over so why is social media still banning/deleting posts they deem wrong?

A. Because they are Trumpsters forever, and post the most vile, vulgar and dishonest comments. All worthy of being removed.

It’s not the case.

So what is the law around publishers and platforms such as magazines and phone companies? IOW, why can a newspaper refuse to publish your letter to the editor but a phone company can't cut off your conversation? Don't bother looking it up, but if you are familiar with it, I'd like to know.

The law is different for magazines, phone companies and internet websites.

I don’t know much about the laws that have to with whether or not a phone company can cut off a phone conversation.

The law for websites clearly states you can’t treat them like a publisher. At all. End of story.

If a website didn’t moderate content and chuck out the objectionable material, there would be no need for protection from libel lawsuits in the first place.

And maybe many of these posts sole purpose is to enrage certain members and encourage violence.

So you agree that they are acting as publishers and not open platforms, thus undeserving of the protections from civil liability afforded to them by the government.

Thank you both for proving my point.

They support Truth, Justice and the American Way

Trump lies don’t pass muster

Their lies don't pass muster-------

hence why we have FREE SPEECH in order to hear all sides and decide for ourselves who is the bullshitter.
