@Jerm nope cathy newman... I am concerned about the power Facebook has over free speech and am not convinced that free market theory will address this adequately

2018-08-16 11:51:41 UTC  

@Tom_Servo FB only has influence over free speech on its own platform.

2018-08-16 11:51:49 UTC  

@Jerm sorry unneccessarily rude - being said with a smile on my face

2018-08-16 11:52:44 UTC  

Also, free speech does not exist.

2018-08-16 11:52:53 UTC  

That's the first problem with the arguments around free speech.

2018-08-16 11:52:58 UTC  

People need to define it.

2018-08-16 11:53:25 UTC  

You aren't allowed to speak smack about my fiance in my home. Therefore, your free speech is curtailed.

2018-08-16 11:53:39 UTC  

You can't shout "bomb!" in a place. No free speech there either.

2018-08-16 11:53:43 UTC  

plane*

2018-08-16 11:54:23 UTC  

A business newspaper won't publish my cartoons about sports. No free speech there either.

2018-08-16 11:54:57 UTC  

if a printer refused to print your newspaper despite your willingness to pay then this would be comparable

2018-08-16 11:55:12 UTC  

A printer doesn't have to print your newspaper.

2018-08-16 11:55:14 UTC  

your house is not vital to public discourse

2018-08-16 11:55:16 UTC  

so no problem

2018-08-16 11:55:20 UTC  

It's not your right to get their business.

2018-08-16 11:55:26 UTC  

@Jerm, I agree, you will chase someone out your home and that is your right, but you should not be able to fine/arrest someone for offending your fiance

2018-08-16 11:56:08 UTC  

if printers had their own TOS, and refused to publish the Rapport because they were carrying one of your cartoons

2018-08-16 11:56:16 UTC  

Let them.

2018-08-16 11:56:47 UTC  

Like I said, it's not your right to get somebody's business.

2018-08-16 11:56:50 UTC  

back to work for me....

As a matter of interest, when last have you changed your mind on an issue?

2018-08-16 11:56:56 UTC  

any issue

2018-08-16 11:56:58 UTC  

Plenty.

2018-08-16 11:57:12 UTC  

i think this convo is getting out of hand.....

2018-08-16 11:57:26 UTC  

That's why I'm not longer in the mainstream anymore. 😂

2018-08-16 11:57:31 UTC  

no longer*

2018-08-16 11:57:56 UTC  

tone is lost in text....

2018-08-16 11:57:57 UTC  

I forgot what it feels like to work since discord

2018-08-16 11:58:08 UTC  

not trying to be rude

2018-08-16 11:58:20 UTC  

I need to get back. I've done my quota of Discord for the week. haha

2018-08-16 11:58:52 UTC  

@Tom_Servo I know what you're saying. I speak better verbally. Watch my interview with Renaldo and you will see how I speak. I hate text.

2018-08-16 12:26:03 UTC  

Friends, please debate. This is why we are in this chat room. Remember that we're on the same side, albeit a few minor differences here and there.

2018-08-16 12:26:38 UTC  

We're like light going through a prism. We all slot into different beams of light, but all on the same side.

2018-08-16 12:35:48 UTC  

can one of you social media famous guys run a poll on who should be NPA, Dali or Thuli

2018-08-16 12:56:26 UTC  

I should be

2018-08-17 07:56:43 UTC  

@Jerm boer soek n plaas cartoon....love it!

2018-08-17 09:58:53 UTC  

a quick hit and run.

Do you think the media are empowering Afriforum in the same way they did Julius Malema ?

Even though they are being fairly one sided and critical - is the long term effect going to be an increase in support and donations?

Ultimately should Afriforum be wewlcoming this, and perhaps even leaning into it?

2018-08-17 09:59:26 UTC  

remember initial reporting on JM was very negative, only softened more recently

2018-08-17 10:12:10 UTC  

to me it feels the media criticizes Afrifrom a lot (in some cases even plays with words to make them look bad), so not sure how that empowers them?

2018-08-17 10:14:03 UTC  

i dont see that as empowering
