God Damn I hope Trump eventually does something about tech censorship

If nothing else, he's certainly building an overwhelming case of biased operations. I suppose the more evidence he gets, the bigger and easier the lawsuit will become?

I doubt it'd happen til the 2nd term.

With the passing of the Hillary prosecution window, I no longer hope for prosecutions, rather that the swamp drains through attrition

It will never happen because there is nothing to do about it. This is the United States and we have free speech.

Change the channel like an adult.

no

the media is doing something bad to the American people. it has a net negative effect. I don't care if you personally change the channel. That doesn't prevent it from doing damage. just because you personally don't do something doesn't mean it's not hurting other people

the problem is conservative selfish libertarians. I think the whole world revolves around them. but if it's not personally hurting THEM that it's not really a problem

just because you change the channel means it's no longer a problem. it doesn't. there's other people in the world besides you. there's other people in the world that matter. I'm selfish narcissism of the libertarian that think that nobody else matters and they should only look out for themselves and fuck everyone else is exactly what's wrong with America

if you can't care about other people then you're not a good person..

if you don't care that America is suffering because of this problem just because you personally don't watch it and you are not only a bad person but you're also bad for America. you are what's wrong with America. you are what perpetuates all the problems with America. Because you're such an old stuck in your ways Boomer but you can't accept what things change

So just admit you're communist lite.

You talk just like a libtard. "You're what wrong with this country, boomer. They're doing something bAd to the American people!!11"

Calm down, kid. Have some faith in your fellow Americans. You've all forgotten that Trump won, and he'll win again. What they're doing isn't working, no need to destroy the first amendment because you're scared.

Idk, rather than wait on the Government, or put one more thing on President Trump, I think we should do something ourselves. TheDonld.win is one example. We could wait on someone to stand-up for us on Reddit (and we'd be screwed) or we can take it into our own hands.

  1. The first step is support; support non-Leftist versions of everything as a user; through activity and money (like Judicial Watch and Project Veritas).

  2. The second is to actively promote the alternatives to the Leftists crap, and to publicize the injustices, keep calling them out on their double standards and hypocrisy like President Trump does.

  3. the third is action, positive and negative.

3a. Do something, for good. If you see a problem you can solve or help, do it. Don't get stuck on things you cannot do or fix.

3b. Do something, to stand up to the evil. Make a list of the supporters, advertisers, promoters of Leftist ideology and boycott them. I don't subscribe to Netflix, I don't shop at Dick's, I don't contribute to Reddit and every time I see an advertisement in a Leftist Reddit forum I blacklist them. You don't have to be stupid about it; if you feel you have to use something of theirs fine, but are you looking for more conservative alternatives to Google, PayPal, Reddit, Apple, Dicks, Netflix, etc..

  1. Community; there is strength in numbers. You found this community of online Trump supporters, do you know the Trump supporters in your local community?

completely stupid. you want to make a non left-wing version of every single thing in the world?

a rightwing twitter

a rightwing Facebook

a rightwing reddit

a rightwing paypal

a rightwing Wikipedia

a rightwing citibank

a rightwing payment processor

a rightwing loan company

a rightwing mcdonalds

economy for the left and one economy for the right.

the dumbest thing ever. totally impossible totally ridiculous and just a terrible thing to even want. you want America to be so divided like that??

tell that works out for you. I'm Reddit the average post would get 5000 up votes and the average front-page post would have like 30000 up votes

here u have about 2-3k on the BEST posts

you're delusional if you think that's the answer.

contrary to what narcissistic libertarians believe: the world does not revolve around you. therefore just because you're voting for Trump doesn't mean everybody else is. you cannot win elections with 2000 people

the solution is to fix the problems where they are. not run away because your a bitch and try to start your own company

"ill start MY OWN reddit! with blackjack and hookers!""

no

the people vested power in the government step in and take care of these companies when they get out of hand. That is why the government can do it. Because it's sanctioned by the people. everything the government can do. all of the government's power is take given directly by the people. without the people's consent the government can't do anything.

libertarians can't understand. They can't comprehend that a large group of people can form a country and work together to make it a better place. libertarians are so narcissistic that they can only see themselves. They can only think about themselves. They only look out for themselves. and so they can't comprehend any other wayyy

when a giant corporation is doing something to radical that you would flip out if the government did then it's perfectly fine to step in and have the government stuff them. That's what it's there for. just because some propaganda outlet told you differently doesn't mean it's actually different. I just means you've been manipulated by billionaires

pass laws against censorship

and if our elected officials won't step up and do that then we need new elected officials because they have clearly chosen to represent billionaire that before they represent us. They spend more time defending these other giant anti-American corporations and they do to finding their own constituents. if that's the case it's time to vote for other people. if Ted Cruz won't do it but for someone else is challenging him in the primary. if Mitch McConnell won't do it then vote him out. use that great right that the founding fathers gave you. The right to vote

Calm down dude. What you're suggesting isn't wrong; we should demand of our government to do right by us. However, while they fail to do so we can take responsibility and vote with our time and wallets by supporting companies that don't suppress non-leftist ideas. Nobody is asking for right-wing clone companies. We just want free speech.

The post you're replying to is a good one, and your point is valid as well. It's just too bad you force readers to wade through ad-hominem, straw men, and unprovoked anti-libertarian ranting to get to it.

Ah, No... Why allow any of them to continue existing?

Your freedom will never be safe till they have no power. Your/our current position is the result of believing there could be tolerance between Good and Evil.

We. Must. Be. Vigilante. Always.

Also, I never said not to require action from our government or hold them accountable; I said, "rather than wait on the Government" take it into your own hands as much as is reasonable and necessary.

Surely you realize that they are here because they have destroyed every other nation their ideology has visited. This is why Globalism and open-borders are necessary for their beliefs; to survive they must be able to abandon the sinking ship, rather than face the consequences of their beliefs and choices.

the people vested power in the government step in and take care of these companies when they get out of hand. That is why the government can do it. Because it's sanctioned by the people. everything the government can do. all of the government's power is take given directly by the people.

Like the FBI? The Portland police in Oregon? The British police who allowed the Muslim Rape-gangs to operate with impunity for fear they would be labeled "racist"? The British Red-Coats in 1770's? Tell me, who gives you justice in the court of law? Is it the Judge, or the Jury of your peers? Where was the government on 9/11? What about JFK's assassination? Were these convoluted government conspiracies, or is your government just a bunch of mostly lazy incompetents who could not make it in the private sector?

...I'm sure that eventually they might get around to looking like they are trying, but why wait? If you want to wait on the Government that is up to you, but your going to be waiting a long time.

Who is it getting dead/invalid voters off the rolls in these corrupt Democrat states? Is it your government, or is it Tom Fitton suing them?

without the people's consent the government can't do anything.

Like give Uranium to Russia, pallets of cash to Iran, our industries and jobs to China, our voting power to illegal foreigners, setup an effective ruling dynasty via Deep State, spy on oppositions candidates to ensure it, indoctrinate your children by taking over the education system and making you pay for it?

it's not just parts of Government or only our Government; there is no Government in the world now or in the past that has ever actually worked.

(I) You think you are protected by the machinations of the Government system, but the truth is you are protected by the Blood, Sweat, Determination, and Sacrifice of those noble enough to serve and do what is needed. We PAY them a wage/salary for what can be bought, but we HONOR them for what they give that no man can buy.

(II) Do you think the "democratic process", or the "balance and separation of government power" is what has turned things around in our nation? Or is it the undaunted sacrifice and service of a true patriot running for President and opposing the corrupt media, politicians, Deep State, Leftist Activists night and day?

Your zeal is appropriate friend, but I urge you not to ONLY rely on your Government to do the right thing... find a way to make them, or do it yourself.

I would love if he spent part of his second term (especially if he has the House & Senate) going after big tech and dismantling the powerhouses.

The Federal Elections Commission should be doing something.

This should be simple, immediate, and inarguable.

The FEC, the FCC, and the FTC should issue the following order

  • No social media platform can edit, alter, or censor the official candidate or official campaign account
  • Any action taken against either candidate or campaign will result in a $100 BILLION fine.

Not joking abut the $100B fine either. In fact, make it $100 Trillion.

NO CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE, of any party, should have their official account or official campaign account censored by any employee of a private company. Period. End of discussion.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS NOT SUBJECT TO A FUCKING TERM OF SERVICE

Such endorsements and censorship should be counted as in-kind contributions to a campaign

Yes, the distinction between PLATFORM (enjoying 230 liability protections) and PUBLISHER.

They should be held legally liable for the child porn, the illegal drug trafficking, the human trafficking, the facilitating communication by enemies of the United States.

This is true, but should be inarguable. But, the 230 protection also render no Standing to even potential litigation where a claim could be made that harm was made and facilitated through the network (e.g., harm/loss/death that came from bullying). They are currently protected from any and all allegations (mostly civil) that could also be brought to bear would drain these companies of their resources. Yes, their pile of treasure might bear that out now, but (again) these companies would have never "made it" without these protections being afforded to them from early stage until now. Protections that were afforded them by the US (the People); not their own TOS or some other national policy.

take it even further. Make income contributions by social media Giants illegal. Have the FCC rule that it is illegal for large social media companies to make in contributions to a campaign

have the FCC rule that political censorship is classified as an in-kind contribution. Because it is. if you sent her the supporters of one candidate or just have him since you're talking points of one party but not the other or you take action in a way that manipulates an election that should be counted as an in-kind contribution to a political campaign

endeavor under the FEC rules that would be illegal. subject to a 1 billion dollar fine..

how do you stop censorship. and I don't give a fuk about any arguments are there was. They proven they can't be left to their own devices.

Can I hold a rally for Clinton in your living room? Can I use your cell phone to campaign for Bernie?

Twitter is not "free speech", and you would never want it defined so narrowly. It's a company that's owned by private citizens. It is under no obligation to allow people to use its service when those people break the terms (contract) of that service. It would be the same if .WIN became huge, and all of sudden leftists demanded that because of "free speech" they be allowed to post here.

Twitter, Facebook, et. al. are absolutely allowed to discriminate with regard to the content they allow on their platform. It is their platform. It does not belong to you.

And discriminate, they damn well do. That's what we are opposing, here.

When Twitter flags an unedited video as "fake," but ignores multiple falsehoods, that is absolutely an assault on our First Amendment rights.

First, notice the downvotes. It's a new feature rolled out by the GODMODS, but it's telling.

Second, bruh...we are not talking about a banal commentary about a food recipe nor an invective-laced tirade about my random political opinions.

We are talking about our citizens qualified for and in the act of running for PUBLIC OFFICE.

FURTHER...

These PLATFORMS are granted LIABILITY PROTECTIONS from the US Government that without them these platforms would be literally sued out of existence. It's not a stretch to say that OUR PUBLIC OFFICIALS made and continue to make this platform/business possible. We maybe should think they could say, "Thank you" and then shut the fuck up and be on their way.

FURTHER...

These PLATFORMS are WELL QUALIFIED for public-square protections and should apply broadly to Political Speech for anyone.

There shouldn't be any doubt or discussion that these PLATFORMS should not impeded the access to or censor any publicly-qualified candidate (i.e, they have gotten the signatures of their tentative constituents and are in the act of running for office).

You are compare Apples to Screwdrivers.

If you think I give a fuck about downvotes from dipshits who don't understand the law you have no idea who you're fucking with.

No they wouldn't. Are you attorney? No, you aren't, and you have no idea what you're talking about.

No they aren't. They are private services. The only reason they are popular is because they are free. There is absolutely nothing public about them. They have the same rights as any other business, no matter how much you cry about it.

Ever wonder why nobody sues twitter for "censorship"? Use your head. They're completely within their rights to censor you all fucking day long, and for the rest of time. You do not have the right to use another person's property, violate the contract you agreed to when using it, and then complain about your "rights". Twitter is not your property. Facebook is not your property.

When you engage with twitter, at the point of "sale" you sign a contract that defines the terms and conditions of your usage of their service. They could come right out and say, "No anti-Democrat party sentiments" and it would be entirely within their rights to do so, just as on this website we can say no Democrats. The point is you signed a contract. If you didn't like the terms of the agreement, you shouldn't have signed. Facebook and twitter are not utilities. There are thousands of other ways to communicate of the internet. The internet is a utility. Facebook is not.

You need to put on your big boy pants and start "adulting", because you're acting like a child who has no idea about anything. This is the way the world works, and whether or not you like it, it's completely fair. You talk like a fucking commie when you complain about "big tech" and "muh government" needs to point guns at people for me to have my way. You may think you're a patriot but at best you're communism lite. You believe in the same shit they do.

Fabius 2 points ago +2 / -0

It's private property, dipshit. You have no right to determine what facebook and twitter allow on their webstite. ZERO.

You faggots can cry all day long. You will NEVER get what you want, and thank god for it. Because if you can do it them, they can do it to you. You people are seriously fucking dumb and have zero foresight.
