@mott-the-hoople saidTheir motto is "Free Speech for me, but not for thee."
check into it, not just what your propagandist say…
then come back and admit you are wrong
Relax, Muttley, it is a JOKE.

@mott-the-hoople saidThen you admit Republicans are the ones doing the censoring while Dems want free speech.

Discussion over.
@sleepyguy saidYou believe the government making recommendations based on scientific consensus in the interest of stopping misinformation that can lead to needless death is unconstitutional.
There you go again, around in a circle. It's pointless to discuss it it with you. Have a nice day.
It's not.
If you want to argue it's a bad idea to allow the government to influence businesses to engage in censorship of any kind, that's a different matter. This would be a valid concern.
@vivify saidIf it has nothing to do with free speech you are right, but that is irrelevant to this thread. This is about government restricting free speech.
It's not unconstitutional for businesses to willingly partner with the government. It happens all the time. Drug companies like Pfizer did so during the pandemic.
You are on the wrong thread.

@vivify saidSleepy guy is kicking your butt all over the place. You should give up.
Agreed. What I'm saying is the government didn't stop anyone from speaking; they merely encouraged businesses to willingly curb the spread of debunked falsehoods during a deadly pandemic that could lead to more death.
The Biden administration's recommendations didn't originate with them, it came from the vast majority of scientists educated on the matter.
Government conspired with social media to censor speech, so they did stop RFK jr. from speaking for just one example. John Stossel too.
They censored the truth. If you had bothered to read the links I posted you would know that. Facebook admitted they censor the truth. Why do you think they got sued?
STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION!

@vivify saidGovernment instructed facebook to censor speech. Government has no business telling facebook what to censor. Why do you think the court ruled against it saying it was unconstitutional? Because it was.

What is messed up is that they got away with it for as long as they did.
@metal-brain saidStill doesn't change that FB willingly complied.

@vivify saidYou don't know it was willingly. Government has been threatening to regulate facebook for a long time.

He could either censor what Biden wanted him to or he could get harassed again by congress under threat of regulation or worse.
@metal-brain saidYes, we do.
You don't know it was willingly.
The government partnered with multiple social media sites. You think the government "forced" all these billion‐dollar companies? As if they don't all have the ability to hire the best lawyers and sue the Christ out of the Biden administration?
@metal-brain saidno, what is messed up is these libs dont care

Yes, we do.

Government has the power to break up facebook with anti trust lawsuits. The only suing would be done by government. META would be the defendant. As long as Zuck cooperates they will not break up Meta even though Meta is in clear violation of antitrust laws.

If Zuck could he would buy all social media so he controls it all. He is an aspiring monopolist. So was Bill Gates. Remember when Clinton sued Gates for violating antitrust laws? If government wants a backdoor to Windows OS for the NSA they pressure Gates until he complies. That is how the game is played. If Gates did not comply they would have broken Microsoft up and ruined Gates' parade.
Comply and you keep getting wealthier. Resist and they clip your wings.
