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

[blackascoal]

And there is no way to silence conservative voices without engaging in censorship.

I silence it everyday. I just don’t watch Fox.

Big Tech can do what it likes. Legally, censorship refers to the government suppressing dissent, and by using the corporate friends of their party to do the dirty work, even the DEMOCRATS in the government are not violating anyone's rights.

You also don't have a right to access the internet at all, and soon that's likely to be the fate of those who resist the new regime.

She is, and sharpe, but she has ambitions, and knows this would be an issue for some on the right

You hate her because she's a Republican, Anchovies, just like the imbecile does, don't you?

Nobody has been "silenced". A corporation decided that some users cannot use their platform any longer. They don't need to justify their decision.

Conservatism existed before social media, and it will survive without social media.

I question whether social media was ever a venue for political discussion, anyway. I'm pretty sure it's for socializing and entertainment.

Censorship in the colloquial sense is still censorship.

It's not illegal.

You mean there’s nothing illegal about it.

It flies square in the face of *the principle* of free speech.

You don't know shit about the principle of free speech.

It's not illegal.

Doesn’t need to be.

"silencing people is what happens in China" (Nikki Haley). True. And cannot be argued against.

There is no right to post on social media.

There is no right "to be heard".

Damn right Old Bean.

In Red China, political opponents whom the regime wants to silence are imprisoned and/or murdered, Cap'n. They don't just lose access to social media.

Of course, I have seen several leftists apparently advocating for both of those "solutions" in the US, so there's that.

It's free enterprise in action. I don't want the government forcing corporations to allow users they don't want to say whatever they like on their platforms.

Take a visit at DP sometimes.

 

[AProudLefty]

Spin it all you want but silencing is silencing.

The permanent in permanent ban is all you need to know.

How is Trump being silenced?
