Everyone does not have the right to the global transmission of his speech via a private company’s platform. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

You may be correct, I don't know. I know of one. Of the hundreds, can you show me, maybe say, fifty other examples blocked for political views. Originally Posted by reddog1951

It's not really a left vs. right thing. They'll sensor whoever they want, regardless of which side of the dildo you enjoy plugging your bunghole with.

The real fight is between small independent media channels and the corporate mainstream, who want to control what you think. The corporate mainstream is politicizing this so bungholes like some in this thread will be convinced to actually support it.

The court has already decided (wrongly) that a private business working with the public, they do not have a right to deny service to gay couples or Nazis.

I’ll do no such thing. I’ve just as much a right to post here as you do, Buddy.

Apparently you have a problem with me or anyone else calling BS on the misinformation, cut and paste propaganda, fake news and “ugly” talk that appears under your account.

Please put me on ignore. Put everybody who doesn’t agree with your posting style or substance on ignore. Then you won’t have to see what others think of it.

Deal? Sir???

I do not use the ignore feature.
However you could take your own advice and put me on ignore.
mmmm K

Your post makes zero sense and has false accusations.

Humor us by reading the forum guidelines you agree to when logging in.

Not gonna play your games sir.

Like a fiddle at a barn dance.

And you still don’t get to tell me what to do.

I’m happy to leave you to your rage whining. Jeez, I don’t think there’s much we can do about it.

But quit playing the games you accuse me of playing, sir. Because I’m not playing ‘em.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSHS!

I looked but I didn't see anywhere in the Constitution where speech had to be true, just free. If you want true then you going to have to have a lot of little committees to decided if something is true, a delusion (true to the speaker), or a mistake. The founders wisely decided to stay out of that but in the intervening years we have come up with news about libel and slander. So a judge or jury can decide the intent of the accused but only if there is any damage. Some DOTYs should be painfully aware of their past meanderings. Originally Posted by the_real_Barleycorn

People knew that separate but equal was the wrong decision and they said so and the court changed it's decision.


I'm not saying BC is right. I'm saying that the court has admitted on quite a few occasions now, that it was wrong. Maybe, just maybe BC is right.


What I find amazing, is that a young person ( I guess would be how you describe yourself ) is unaware of this.


There have been plenty of people who knew better than the court. A historical fact.


One would have to be deaf, dumb and blind to not see what is happening on the issue of free speech.


Very soon now, the SC will decide whether in this new age, a monopoly, actually a couple of monopolies can conspire to limit free speech just because they are a private business.


I'm reminded of Barack Obama saying "you didn't build that". I think in the very near future, the SC will decide that this idea, that these new private monopolies that control much of the speech we count on, can discriminate against one party, one ideology over another. Then again, I could be wrong and free speech will indeed be dead in this country and only one party can speak the truth, the way some people actually want it to be.


The Ministry of Truth doesn't seem so far off any more.

Thanks for clearing that up.
