this should be pinned on FR.
Their servers, their rules; the petition is Internet socialism.

You’re 100% right.
Don’t like their policies? Don’t use their service- too many friends & family still latched on to the FB teet? Try to steer them away to more open/fair alternatives.
But remember, your usage is your CONSENT to their policies.
I just signed up. Moving away from a free internet, is a move towards communism.
I don’t really understand what this bill of rights would say. But is it possible that it would allows liberals to post at will at places like Free Republic?
Not just possible, but inevitable.

This is why I don’t post here much anymore. Freep is taken over by such.
Go to the site and read it, and, Q told us to sign it.
You wouldn’t call me a liberal to my face.
Revel didn’t call you a liberal. Maybe it's for the best that you don’t post here much anymore.
Virtually all terrestrial land that matters is owned by someone. Our civilization imposes easements and rights-of-way on privately owned land, by necessity. Even condemnation and seizure by the state when needed for the public good.
Land owners are generally not allowed to impose tolls on rights-of-way or prevent/allow passage on a discriminatory basis. Imagine if your daily commute required paying tolls to a plethora of land owners, any of which could decide to shut down traffic on any given day, or could block/allow traffic on a discriminatory basis.
I don't maintain that this particular IBOR is the best possible or even any good at all. But access to the Internet is now nearly as vital to human society as access to land and freedom of travel. We need something analogous to rights-of-way for cyberspace, so that access to essential services can't be nickel-and-dimed by "tolls" imposed by every server or switch a packet may cross, and so that persons and the packets they send can't be subject to political or religious discrimination in terms of access to the Internet.
My question had nothing to do with you what soever. You really need to calm down.
The original article has nothing to do with this.
Sure just as soon as the rest of the country signs onto “THE Bill of Rights”.
The original constitutional ones.
Owners of those ‘platforms’ have the right to set their own rules about who and why they censor — just as FR does.
Agreed. I also think that asking government to get even more involved with any regulation of the Internet in a huge mistake.
Why wouldn’t some one call you a liberal to your face? (presumably if you were being liberal)
Signed. Everyone should try to sign this petition
