I'm aware Facebook has a ton of data. I don't particularly care.

It's not a public forum. It's a private company that provides a service.

That's not what I meant by public forum

Like they can use my data all they want. I don't have much to hide nor does Facebook have the processing power to do anything super scary with it at the moment

Like big data is scary but not as scary as people make it out to be.

Facebook, Twitter, and other social media giants have to be public forums in order for people to have free speech and participate in the market place of ideas. Anyone who tries to deter free speech online like what Mark Cuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Susan Wojcicki and their cronies are doing by banning people for wrongthink right now should be thrown in jail without any bail.

No

You're wrong

Are you going to address my point, or not?

People are allowed to censor on there PRIVATE service

Which one?

No, I'm right. It's the best way to ensure free speech exists online.

It's a *public forum*

You assumed my definition

Whether those social media giants are private or not.

They MUST face consequences for what they're doing, PJW is right about them.

They're not just "private companies."

I think it's shitty thing to do. But they are a private company and they can do as they please. I don't use there services and I don't care. You can do the same.

They are a private company that provide a service of communication.

Not much different than a landline

"It doesn't bother me. I stay off the grid in a cabin and don't interact with society. All yall are fucked with the internet, good luck."

A lot prettier but more or less the same thing.

I do interact with society. But I don't need Facebook or Twitter to do so

Call me a statist all you want, but this is the best way to solve this problem for good. We need a online bill of rights, it's one of the only good things Paul Nehlen has come up with.

I'm more worried about Google if anyone

I'm going to wait until @Deleted User is done.

Ty @Fitzydog

Do you have a link? @Deleted User

Because I don't think you really need a bill of rights for the internet.

Just because the internet will never be monopolized

One could make a good and convincing argument about how Google has a natural monopoly on searchs which in essence is a monopoly on the internet.

But I don't think it's a good argument.

On your point of "How about this? Free to use, and publicly accessible social media platforms should be hands off, and not censor, but paid ones can?"
How about we don't get government involved in social media? Like the government fucks everything it touches.

@Fitzydog

Well, you might as well have more legislation and regulations, because this is not okay.

I don't understand why republicans didn't have this bill passed.

"@Shurik (Aleksey) Facebook has your info, tracks your data, and now wants your bank details, even if you're not on the platform. Where's the choice to not use it then?"
You just don't use there services. It's not hard.
An interesting point would be if the banks buy the data from Facebook and use your private dms do disqualify you from a loan or something but that's not the point you were making.

Oh, we're talking now?

Other than the fact they're RINOs who pander to the dems and other libshits.

Seriously, why aren't you people supporting such actions? The free market isn't going to save us. Google, Facebook, Twitter, and other tech and social media giants are one big monopoly.
