I'm naive. The left have been controlling social media and the news for a while, yet trump won.
Explain to me how he did that if the power they already have is not enough
you can face repression for your views offline too
I may be naive. I wouldn't be here if i wasn't willing to admit that possibility.
@Grenade123 Ok, they go and rally around social media and convince everyone online to go against your interests and you can neither organize nor talk.
I'm sorry, but last I checked, I could still kick socialist out of my house and hold meetings there
And use the police to get them off my lawn
You're also not running a phone company and advertising fairly standard services to the public.
I can host a webserver on my computers in my house.
Non sequitar.
exactly, people will kick you off their property if you're using it to spout stuff they don't like
Your webserver is too small to matter.
good luck getting the same audience in your living room as you can reach online
But AT&T can't just deny phone service because if they did they could control democracy--Western Union actually did it once.
The internet is the new phone.
It's only too small too matter if I don't talk to people
Except it's even bigger and more important.
Is Jones gone?
He seems to still be able to harass a sitting politician
It's the phone service, the mail service, television, shopping and finance all at once.
And all (aside retail) are banned from simply discriminating for non-economic reasons.
All things the government is involved in, monitors, and uses to accuse me of terrorism and throw me in jail or put me on a drone hitlist
@Grenade123 And when his money runs out? He hasn't seemed too effective.
`So you think that they should just ban James Woods.` If James Woods acts in a way that without a shadow of a doubt violates the platforms terms of services I don't think alot of people would argue against. Only problem is the TOS are too vague for interpreation, selectively enforced and most times users are punished without a crime. If Twitter equally enforced their TOS they'd have maybe half of the daily active users tomorrow
Very good options: get kicked off a platform and stop having socialist yell at me, or get drone strikes.
"Drone strikes" has to be the slippery slope of the year.
Perhaps we should remove 230 so James woods can sue for their vauge terms
Not an argument Grenade.
Removing 230 is on the table.
Is it? Need I go find the list of America citizens Obama had killed for no reason? And Trump hasn't stopped?
But I'm not sure it would be enough. I think it would open up for the SPLC and well-heeled NGOs to just sue people they don't like to oblivion.
I guess Snowfen was a lair and they have none of those programs right?
We're talking about social media and internet censorship. Not military action.
Bullshit, all government action is military action
And you think somehow not regulating tech censorship somehow removes the NSA monitoring programs?
It won't. Law enforcement will do what it wants regardless.
Removing 230 means they have to stop banning oland editing or be open to be sued into oblivion
Because protection for platform was around to protect libraries before social media
See, you're right, but I also see it backfiring and really helping the really well-heeled organizations at the expense of everyone else.
Infact, 230 was enacted to protect platform censorship from lawsuit
