Will ANYONE in the government be held accountable for violations of the first amendment via Twitter?

[SweetSue92]

Directing is no more than an action of request not a cease and desist.

We'll see what the Supreme Court has to say about that. But that you find it acceptable is sad. You wouldn't if it were the Trump FBI doing that and shutting down liberals. You know the streets would be burning all around the nation is the tables were turned

 

[Mac1958]

Okay Mac. Here is the First Amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

So without whining about how victimized you are, explain to me what you meant by "read the first amendment", and tell me you DIDN'T mean the part that says "congress shall make no law...."

"law"

 

[SweetSue92]

You sure do love crackpot conspiracies.

It's really sad how out of touch you are sometimes. Are you even on Twitter?

 

[22lcidw]

Read the First Amendment.

Or don't. I don't care.

Gina Carano was fired from a Disney Star Wars program because she compared Republicans treatment to Jewish people with the holocaust. This was not any sleight to Jews. This was the way most people spew loudness. She was destroyed and to many people are treated the same way. At some point people will reel just to survive.

Twitter granted requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign to remove content in 2020, report says

Elon Musk has only condemned the Biden campaign, despite the report he hyped showing the Trump White House also requested that Twitter remove content.

is completely ignored. Imagine that!

Free Speech does not apply to a private company.

 

[SweetSue92]

"law"

Yes, that's what Congress does. It makes laws. Now, we have a renegade lawless body of non-lawmakers suppressing our free speech. But they are still "the government". That our poor founding fathers never imagined that we would ALLOW a bureaucracy to get so far out of control does not mean that the govt is not STILL limiting free speech.

You either know this and are playing stupid, or you're actually stupid.

Pick one.

It surely does when Yoel Roth is meeting with the FBI and attempting to make those calendar appts look more 'generic'

She worked for a private company. End of story.

WIKI is meaningless.

You idiots keep pointing to Twitter being a private entity but this isn't about Twitter. This is about the government boot being applied to Twitter in the hopes of removing speech that was already exercised. AKA infringement

To anyone but the most partisan it is clear that first amendment violations are abundant but will ANYONE be held to account for it?

If not our so called constitutional rights are nothing but a figment of our imagination IMO.

Hillary got away with initiating the largest criminal political scandal in US history, among many other crimes over decades...

Obama and his administration got away with committing treason via a failed coup attempt...

Pelosi and Democrats got away with multiple failed coup Impeachment attempts based on zero crime / evidence / witnesses during which they were proven to have treasonously manufactured false evidence in an attempt to overthrow the US govt by illegally removing a sitting President from office...

The FBI got away with violating the Constitution, the Rule of Law, the Patriot Act no less than 12 times, defrauding the FISA Court, illegally spying on US citizens / a US President & his team, knowingly participating in a failed coup attempt, obstructing justice / hiding key evidence IOT protect a criminal President and his son / family, admittedly conducting multiple 'entrapment scheme' operations against US citizens, colluding w/the WH and DOJ to brand parents as 'domestic terrorists', and engaging in conspiracy and collusion to violate the 1st Amendment.

The leftist Gestapo and other criminals / traitors will never be held accountable for their crimes, as they continue to destroy the country.

Every time they get away with their crimes and treason they become more emboldened and determined to continue to do more.

Wow, that must be frustrating.

Well, it would be if any of it were true.

So-called Americans, saying, yeah yeah they're a private entity, and generally minimizing the entire thing.

If the Trump admin had done this--if HIS FBI had done this, they would all lose their MINDS. And I would have no excuse to give.

You can't have a country with this, you just can't. At least not an America.

Remember that when it reverses. When poverty expands enough the abusers of rights who are so smart become stupid. As the impoverished become pizzed enough to get even with newly elected dictatorial leaders who will supply the answers. Progs elect these people who are rebellion without a cause. Non-Progs have none. And they will show up at some point.

Sure. Why are they only being released selectively without context?


Twitter in 2020 granted requests from both President Donald Trump's White House and candidate Joe Biden's campaign to remove content, according to a thread published Friday by independent journalist Matt Taibbi.

We still have our Supreme Court and the lawsuits are making their way up.

So...I have hope, yes.

Elon can ban everyone and talk to himself if he likes.

Did the FBI make him ban Kanye....for politics?

If you love it, imagine how much you would have loved it if it were Trump's FBI banning liberals left and right.

Gosh....all the fascism you all imagined belongs to.....YOU.

"Hey Mac, I do know that no law has been created here, so this isn't actually a First Amendment issue. HOWEVER, I do feel that actions like these fly in the face of the SPIRIT of the First Amendment, by controlling speech -- even in a private setting -- picking winners & losers, and not allowing people to express themselves freely. Would you agree with that?"

"I sure would, SweetSue92. I couldn't agree more. And I can tell you I've had hundreds, if not thousands, of squabbles with lefties here over the years with the way they have weaponized political correctness to control and intimidate speech, so I have a long history with them on this topic. Yes, they seem to have a natural impulse to shut people down, and they still haven't learned that it backfires on them. They STILL won't admit how shit like that brought us Trumpism in the FIRST damn place".

"Oh, okay, good. I'm glad I gave you the opportunity to clarify. I certainly wouldn't want to make assumptions based on ignorance. I get your point, even if I don't fully agree."

"Well, thanks for asking. I don't get that very often here."

"You bet. You have yourself one fine-ass Sunday, Mac."

"You too, SweetSue".

When you are commenting on process and not content, you have lost already.

But you knew this.
