I was banned for 24 hours of posting, for posting Ciaramella's name in a meme in Facebook today.
Real censorship has arrived, folks!
Odd. I did the same (a meme I stole from another FReeper), modified it to say “leaker” and haven’t seen anything.
I even linked to an American Thinker post with his name in the title and body.
Nada.
So now it’s a thought crime to blow the whistle on the leftist whistle blower.
That’s double plus ungood.
I would almost bet that he will never testify because he can't be found (likely chummed in the ocean or dissolved by acid in a barrel) because he has become dangerous to his co-conspirators by being forced to testify or they will fear he will make some sort of a plea deal and snitch them out when the hangman looms.
By the way, has anybody seen Craig Livingstone lately?
I haven’t clicked on Facebook in 10 years, men on the site started sending me private emails asking for dates that was the END of FB for me!!!
Kudos for Free Republic’s support (for the most part) of freedom of speech.
post it as an anagram puzzle lol
Here's your participation trophy.
Yup, dem/msm/big tech/edu = one big team.
About the only way to do it would be to make the image like one of those captchas, where the letters are all tilted, not real solid, different colors and fonts and have lines over them.
Next try “Tommy Robinson” :)
...you’ll get permanently banned. This isn’t new...
Only 35 years late but Orwell’s world has arrived with a fascist twist.
AntiFA
It’s a publicly traded corporation. If you are a stockholder, you have rights and if you are a user of the product, you have even more rights.
The only way FB survives breakup and punitive actions is to go private. As a publicly traded stock, it is not privately held, therefore not private. It is a public square surrogate, a public square product provider.
Zuckerberg wanted the public’s money so he decided to go public. He took the money in exchange for selling a piece of public square. Because he took that money he has to observe the rights of those he invited in. He has to respect all rights of the public he invited including free speech.
For example, if one of his invitees from the public was to post a photo wearing a MAGA hat or a Cross around the neck, Zuckerberg cannot censor it legally.
Zuckerberg may censor illegal content such as child porn and must report it as well.
Posting the name Ciaramella is not illegal. Ciaramella’s lawyer might attempt to scare someone that it is illegal but that lawyer won’t find any law or law enforcement body that will enforce a law that does not exist. The only entity required to keep the name Ciaramella private are the Inspectors Generals because they conduct investigations and cannot be seen as partisan or biased.
Section 230 of the CDA details that Zuckerberg must act as either a Publisher or a Platform.
As a platform, Zuckerberg is bound to respect the rights of his platform users as long as federal, state, local laws are followed. He invited them, he is making money off of them. They are not private members that he can throw out unless they have violated a law.
And the CDA protects Zuckerberg’s platform from liability.
As a publisher, Zuckerberg can censor content but he is exposed to liability. For example, discrimination, slander, breach of contract, violation of constitutional and civil rights and so on can be used to sue Zuckerberg if he is accused to have committed such acts.
And because Zuckerberg is selling a public square product, he is exposed to lawsuits by acting as a publisher although he says he’s a platform only. He says this hoping it provides him immunity.
Your comment supports Zuckerberg as a platform, Watch and see how Zuckerberg and the rest of the Tech Punks are stripped of their Section 230 immunities. That will happen as soon as the GOP takes back the House as there is already legislation introduced to do that very thing, introduced by Josh Hawley.
Can we please stop buying in to the Pravda News. Eric CIArmella is NOT a whistle blower, he is a SPY.
BTW, one person posts Eric CIrmella’s name on Facebook and YouTube, one person gets suspended. What about two> ? Five? A hundred?
And when THAT time comes I hope THEY are ready.
The Schiff coup show is going to be televised. We should get everyone and their mothers to boycott it.
Is this where you start an all or nothing argument, or a slippery slope argument?
Amazing how quickly stuff gets banned in the Free Republic Group in Facebook. Maybe make it a Private Group?
Let's start with a simpler question. Should your cable company, or cell phone company, or whoever provides you internet access be able to restrict the content you view or post, except for the usual legal restrictions?
They are a private company aren't they? So shouldn't they be able to block you from going to websites that don't support their political point of view?
So would it be acceptable in your view if your internet service provider decided to no longer include FreeRepublic as an IP address you can access? How about if all of the internet service providers in your area decided to do the same thing?
