Speech needs to be regulated by laws not by companies. @james j I don't give a crap if they're private companies or not.

What is ILLEGAL content?

@busillis there are no laws right now, so the company is all we have. Interestingly that would be closer (making new laws) to the boogeyman on the infringement of free speech than private companies

Catering to their users

looking like thought police Silk Road guy did nothing but collect monies.He had plausible deniability for anything that was being sold...

Fuck those companies

Nope. Hence why he went to jail. (For life, I believe?)

and then some on seemingly Trumped up charges! see what i did there?

Kingpin charges, yep.

Those companies designed these platforms to be like smoking crack @james j And now we’re gonna let them be the police

Not too smart

And don’t even try to say they didn’t know what they were doing

another episode of White Boy Rick it seems...

they must have proven that he knew.... it became such a well known fact. But he did not go to jail for the writing stuff, he went to jail for the actions that resulted from the communication

Yep. My point exactly.

You can be held liable if you allow illegal content to take place on your platform.

Speaking of crack And corruption ... @ShittyKitty Where is the white boy Rick story

you could be right, except people are getting messages deleted that are bare OPINIONS

Edward Snowden comes to mind assange few others.

wouldnt it be fun if they were pardoned

Sure.

But the 1A doesn't protect you from companies.

Nor social consequence.

@busillis you want actual laws that would effect everything. That’s more authoritarian than letting these companies do it themselves

@busillis also thats acknowledged. So I guess we shouldn’t let them use that design . Or keep dangerous groups off no don’t let them form these groups

Are you familiar with this @Maw

I don’t know there’s no easy answers but there should be some kind of regulation on this shit

Does it have to do with how social media creates a bubble and limits speech under the current model that allows insane things? @busillis

its more complicated
they are not just a company, they are a monopoly, and on top of it by all banning at once participating in coordinated activity as if one company. And intentionally buying anyone at infancy that could compete with them
additionally, they are corporations participating in elections and affecting outcomes. Zucky should go to jail all together cause he paid money directly

if its a monopoly, 1A is far more complicated issue

He out of jail and has a wife now and trying to stay out of public eye...

Things that don't exist anymore, okay.

Right regulation to make sure certain speech is restricted. Right now Facebook finally did what they should have done years ago @busillis

We have seen it’s result

Expected result

I mean, I agree with most of that, except thinking it's a 1A issue.

Crack down on Ron Paul

By design

So either change the structure or control the kinds of bubbles allowed to form

Libertarians are lazy
