Did you even read your article? It very clearly states they have every right to filter their content. The only argument made is that Congress should take away their extreme libel protections if they choose to heavily censor content. Which is a mostly stupid argument. Congress gave them those protections partly so they couldn't be sued Everytime they remove content just as much to protect them from being sued for people posting copyrighted content. It's the same protections newspapers and book stores get and they censor their content. This is a free market, the government doesn't tell companies what content they have to provide, the market tells them with their $$$$. If you are a conservative you should try thinking like one. If whiny little bitch conservatives don't like Facebook and Twitter than they better #learntocode and make their own platforms.

You stupid shit. That law was passed in 1996 under the assumption that platforms like Youtube, Facebook, and the likes WOULD NOT CENSOR UNDER THE GUISE AS A PUBLISHER. JFC, you are goddamn moron.

You're about to see American f***** justice.

So you are in favor of censorship?
 
discrimination is not the same thing as censorship. and political affiliation is not a protected class. Twitter and Youtube are not refusing service, they are revoking access for not following their ToS.

That case has nothing to do with internet censorship. It is about whether or not public access TV channels are deemed as state actors and therefore governed by 1st amendment protections. because like i said, once you fill any role of government SCOTUS deems you liable for constitutional protections. The only reason it is getting any attention is because the 9th circuit focused on public forum arguments instead of state actor arguments like they were supposed to. In oral arguments the conservative justices were arguing against what morons like GassyKnowls are crying about. Kavanaygh argued that you cannot consider a company a state actor just because government sold them right of way access otherwise all utilities would be considered state actors.
False.

So Congress was ****ing stupid and made assumptions. Whoopty ****ing Doo. They still have every right to censor just like Ted Cruz said they do. And Congress has the right to change their libel protections but they won't. Maybe one day Congress will learn not to pass good faith laws because companies don't give a shit about acting in good faith.
 
It SEEMS that a company which requires you to sign up and agree to TOS would have the right to manage content any way they want to, but things aren't always as they seem.

But they can't as the courts said, you can't prevent freedom of thought and ideas. That's why the assumption was implied. Well, here we are in the 2019 and facebook, twitter, youtube are in violation.

Make sure you read a liberal slanted bias. Because that's what you're going to get when you "google" your research.

The battle needs to be fought and won in the civil courts.

Facebook should be held accountable for broadcasting leftist loony toon hate speech and promoting violence, school shootings, etc. while showing the ability to censor content they disagree with, like making fun of Che Guevara for being killed in a town that translates to "the fig".

If you can censor factual information that might hurt a community's feelings, you absolutely can censor lies and calls for violence like we see daily from the left.

"We cant police content" is not an excuse to hide behind when you continually do police content you disagree with.

Edit: might take Congress or SCOTUS for that to happen though
 
Companies have every right to regulate speech within their business you brain dead jizz stain. only state actors cannot regulate speech. And even they can if its porn, hate, obscenities, defamation, etc. The 1st amendment is what allows companies to regulate speech within their business. Use some common sense dumbass. Since SCOTUS ruled that corporations are people that solidified their right to controlling speech within their business even more. You don't have a right to twitter or facebook because you don't even have a right to the internet. You have to pay for access. You are free to go stand outside their HQ and say whatever the **** you want within your 1st amendment rights. If SCOTUS ever rules that twitter has become a public forum they can just add a pay wall and back to censoring. If you want an example of a company that is very restrictive of what speech it allows within its platform look at apple. Some states like Maine have passed laws to provide for more speech protections online but nothing has happened at the federal level. Companies cannot discriminate access to their product against protected classes but they can damn well tell you exactly how you are allowed to use their product, aka ToS. I can't believe a conservative is even trying to argue this, it is a fundamental pillar of the free market.

What? Someone changed their story? Surely not? Kinda like President Heel Spurs saying he knew nothing about the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, and then a month later Trump Revisionist Giuliani saying that Cheeto Man knew about the general arrangement and had approved Cohen making the payment?
Old news boy and she and her lawyer wound up paying Trump. Do you guys even think before you type loser.
 
Interesting convo on the right of a company like Twitter to control content. I don't know where it falls and am not going to take the word of a message board poster (sorry Plat and Willy.) I'll have to read up more on this tomorrow after golf. It SEEMS that a company which requires you to sign up and agree to TOS would have the right to manage content any way they want to, but things aren't always as they seem.
What's funny about the YouTube issue here lately is ar first they werent going to ban content, that was until the vox lib mob attacked them into caving. As a result actual journalists who document things on YouTube got deleted in the sweep. Straight fascist behavior from VOX
 
Throw that dirty slut in Gitmo. Since she is a muslim terrorist i would have no problem breaking her face. I look at her as suicide bomber who hasn't yet did a 911.
I can’t take her. She came to America as a refugee to escape from Islamic danger in her shithole country. She should have simply said thanks to America and lived a good quiet life.
 
So you are in favor of censorship?
In favor? No. But thanks to the GoP companies have all the power and one of those powers is not being held liable for 1st amendment protections. Willy is just a moron with no grasp of who is required to protect the 1st amendment and who isn't. He read one opinion piece about "publishers" and now can't get it out of his head.

Lol. Owned. No amount of run-on paragraphs will save your lack of knowledge.

Pay your fair share.
