    NOPE. ON THEIR PLATFORM , THEY MUST RESPECT THE FREE SPEECH OF ALL USERS...JUST LIKE THE PHONE COMPANY CANNOT BLOCK THE CALLS OF CERTAIN CUSTOMERS BECAUSE THEY DISAGREE WITH THEM.

    The internet company and the phone company are required to transmit without caring about what they transmit. It is called net neutrality, and Republicans are against it. It is not technically a free speech issue, but more a technical issue.

    That being said, printing presses and websites are not required to print anything anyone hands them. They have the right to print what they want.

    If you say I am wrong, then I demand a TV slot on FoxNews to speak.

    So, you would be ok with the government telling Trump's Truth Social who it can/can't ban, who it is required to allow on its platform and why?

    Banning is what companies do when they want to block speech on their website. According to the Constitution, they have every right to do that. For instance, StormFront can ban me from speaking freely against their ideology.

    Texas wants to force media companies to express the government of Texas' point of view. That is not freedom of speech, it is the opposite. If Texas wants their own presses (or websites) to express their own views, they should buy their own.

    You continue to prove you are a moron.

    CENSORSHIP/BLOCKING is what they did to the Hunter Biden laptop story, alternative COVID treatments, etc.

    See how upset the DEMTHUGS ARE, LIKE YOU, THAT THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANTS ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO CARRY YOUR LIES, WHILE BLOCKING THE FREE SPEECH OF OTHERS YOU DISAGREE WITH

    Banning is just one example of a manner in which censorship happens. The point is the same. We don't have free speech protection on Twitter, FB, Truth Social, etc. Our free speech rights are protected from infringement by government, not private industry.

    Agreed. When Trumpers claim they have rights to violate their Terms of Service agreements on any website/social media, they are displaying their ignorance.

    They're also proving they are the spoiled little pieces of shit I believe them to be. This is one reason why I have zero sympathy for them when they are shot down by good guys with guns or packed off to prison crying for themselves.

    Fuck those assholes. If they had any honor, they'd hang themselves in prison. Zero fucks given for these pussified dumbasses who never gave a shit about the harm they caused others.

    Insurrectionists Cry At Sentencing After Crowd Surfing At The Capitol Riot Then Pepper Spraying Cops
    Cody Mattice, 29, of Greece, N.Y., and James Mault, 30, of Brockport, N.Y., both wept as they stood before Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell and asked for leniency, apologizing for their actions and saying they hoped to return soon to their families and young children. But Howell noted that prosecutors had already cut them a reasonable deal by dropping charges that could have led to far more prison time, and she imposed the sentences requested by the government. Only four other Jan. 6 defendants have been sentenced to longer prison terms....

    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    Why didn't Trump pardon them the first time, Matt? Why did Trump betray them?


    Matt, did you know that accepting a pardon is admission of guilt? LOL

    You want government to hold people accountable for their views? Facism personified. This is what scared people into voting against Trump in 2020--wanting an oppressive government to regulate political views.

    Our free speech rights don't require us to express views we don't agree with or spread false information. There are an unlimited number of message boards and other social media for people to express their views. They don't have a constitutional right to say anything they want on any platform they choose.

    Your free speech protects you against government restrictions on speech, not restrictions imposed by social media. Now, you want government to be able to impose those restrictions on private business. So, nobody's constitutional free speech is being restricted by social media.
