YouTube ordered to pay Trump and others $24.5 million for colluding with Biden regime to censor conservatives

[SeaMajor7]

What civil rights were violated by a private company telling Trump he can't post there?

**** THAT. Censorship of the freaking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is completely INSANE.
GTFOH, and take a HIKE with that BULLSHIT.

My bet is that if this makes it to SCOTUS, they rule in favor of YouTube.

What case does Trump have?

If (just going by the header) YT agreed to pay, that's as far as it will go.

Just how will SCOTUS figure in with the settlement?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Wait a minute.

Lefties said censorship was not happening.

So YOUTUBE is paying $25 million to Trump for something that did not happen?

Weird, huh?

Time for another safe and effective untested experimental gene therapy shot, lefties.

Maybe get it injected directly into your brains.

What case does Trump have?

This case is settled and won’t go to the SCOTUS. This does bring Section 230 protections back into question and that could be revisited by the SCOTUS at some point.

The anti-civil rights mob that ran wild under Joe Biden's disastrous, fascist regime is well into the FO phase of FAFO.

And it's beautiful to see.

YouTube will be funding the new White House ballroom!

Should have used the Jean Carroll scale and made it $24.5 Billion

 

[ColonelAngus]

Musk buying Twitter was crucial in the preservation of uncensored public discourse.

The censoring of any mention of the Hunter Biden laptop was absolutely vomitous.

The left did was the left does. Censorship and lies.

That is what they must do when their policies are antithetical to everything America stands for.

 

[Billiejeens]

So, I voted for him 3 times.

But I don't agree with this.

How is Trump guaranteed anything on YouTube???

Is YouTube a government entity?

The government pressured/threatened social media companies.

The government can't enlist a private company to do what the Government can't do.
And everyone lied about.

Trump is the fascist although he doesn't seem educated or intelligent enough to understand ideologies or for that matter anything. But Trump is not a conservative, he is a mini-fascist, a convicted sex offender, and a compulsive liar. One wonders are his fans really this dumb and hateful.

What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?

Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.

This really shines a light on the disturbing lengths the fascist Biden regime went to, to deny regular Americans our civil rights.

Your thread titles are getting more and more comically detached from reality, and consequently more full of shit.

Flashback: Trump sued Meta, X and Google over their moves to suspend his accounts on their platforms in 2021, alleging their actions were "unconstitutional" and violated his First Amendment rights.

• X described Trump's presence on the platform at the time as a "risk of further incitement of violence."

Reality check: The First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting free speech, not private companies.

• At the time, legal experts and First Amendment scholars said Trump's suits were unlikely to go far.
• "The First Amendment simply protects citizens from government censorship," Syracuse University associate professor Roy Gutterman told Axios' Sara Fischer in 2021. "Social media platforms exercise great power, but they are not a branch of government."

This settlement follows a disturbing pattern of companies handing over their lunch money to the schoolyard bully. A bully willing to corruptly wield the power of the federal government against them as a fascist dictator would.

Catch up quick: Meta and X have both settled their lawsuits already. ABC and CBS have both settled lawsuits that legal experts called baseless.

Once the government started interfering, it became something else.

Also, YouTube also likely violated it's own terms of service. They have specific reasons for banning or demonetizing, and I doubt Trump met those reasons.

Agreed to pay =/= "ordered to pay"

 

[Polishprince]

Easier to pay the extortion than face the wrath of the banana republic government under General Bonespurs.

No "extortion" here at all. youtube can see they were dead to rites.

The "just following orders from the Biden Regime" wasn't going to work out for them, just as it didn't work in the case of liberal icon Adolf Eichmann.


BTW, why do your libs insist on poking fun at people's disabilities with the "General Bonespurs" remark? Weren't you taught that its impolite to use such terms with the differently abled?

Trump may not be able to perform a 20 mile march, but he does have other abilities like presiding over hte people, which is what he was born to do.

We're not "poking fun' at anything, he didn't even have bonespurs, he is just a coward who was afraid to serve.

Thinking people have known this for decades.

 

[berg80]

The "just following orders from the Biden Regime"

An assertion that has repeatedly been shown to be a steaming pile.

Top podiatrists determined otherwise. Are you a foot doctor?

Where did you earn your doctorate in podiatry?

I suspect Youtube can do whatever they want to for whatever reason they want to do it.

Pressure....that is not Youtube's issue.

If they bowed to the pressure, so what ?

It's their choice.

The market decides.

Mind you, what's left of Bidens weak and infirm body should be drawn and quartered in public for all that went on during his tenure.

But YouTube.....not so much.

Nothing if they are settling out of court.

Which only tells you just how corrupt this whole scheme is.

Does YouTube not value it's independence?

Anyone going to answer this question.

What did Trump have that others don't have.

He isn't the only banned.

And I suspect Youtube can ban your fanny just because they don't like your choice of breakfast cereal.

Maybe not?
