"silencing people is what happens in China" (Nikki Haley)

:) Again, hilarious. This isn’t communication, this is nothing more than political venting. Nothing gets solved in here.

You should have considered the value of a healthy democracy before you signed up for the clown show of baseless lies and childish insults.

And that is where you are mistaken, viewing social media as something it isn’t, above and beyond everything, it is a public entity, we don’t get “full political discourse” on talk radio or cable demagogues’ show. In the ideal world, the marketplace decides social media’s fate.

I am not sure about it, but the right is only upset cause it is Trump, and social media is his only means of communicating

those are BROADCAST. not INTERACTIVE media

I dont believe it. what were you banned for.
the only bans are for illegal activities where law enforcement it brought in ( they cooperate with LE)
Dont try to tell me Trump did anything illegal either - there is no crime no indictment

now you are just making shit up. and yes they did ban them all.

do you really want to go with "spreading lies?" is that the standard?
because if so- the entire platform/users violate that at times.
"Potential to inspire violence" is such an elastic definition,it can be applied to most anything.

I wont even get into the capricious and uneven enforcement of the "rules"

Not just spreading lies, rather spreading lies that they see have the potential to inspire violence, and how can it be “elastic” when it did that very thing last Wednesday

And again, above and beyond anything else, they are public entities, it is their decision, got nothing to do with “rules,” as I said, is Rush Limbaugh “limiting free speech” when he doesn’t allow callers who don’t fit the script on the air?

If she misrepresents the First Amendment then she’s another that has to go. Our politicians need to go back to being required to tell the constituents the truth. It’s their obligation to educate their constituents.

There is FAR more intelligent and civil thought discussed on MSM than you will EVER find in here or on most, if not all message boards AND MSM has been the platform of choice for the VAST majority of Americans for at least a hundred years. Why do you think America and Americans should conform to the whims of a truly dumb and insecure little man who has an aversion to truth and things he does not want to hear?

Personally I absolutely applaud Cancel culture .. absolutely. Ignorant and racist/sexist speech and behavior SHOULD come with a cost
 
Why are republicans so confused about what freedom of speech in the constitution is?


Because they hate the constitution and mangle it all day long

On their platform, yes, they can become the “arbiters of speech,” book publishers don’t have to print every manuscript someone sends them do they? They gave their reasons, and you may not agree with them, others do, speech has never been absolute

Book publishers can't prevent you from self-publishing, and there are many publishers available. It's not the publishing that counts anyway, it's distribution. Back in the day, Abby Hoffmann, a Leftist radical of the 70's published a book called Steal This Book. He had no trouble publishing but no publisher would distribute the book to bookstores. Same thing as Google and company are doing today.

I didn't like that then, don't like it now.

Parler has been banning liberals.

More importantly, even though they claim to "endeavor" to provide a free speech platform, according to Newsweek their TOS literally says you can be banned "for any reason, or for no reason"
