The various government taxes I pay are more then my take home. There is something wrong with that.
If you want to take back the country you can start by allowing people to keep more of what they make.
Section 230 explicitly protects their right to block content they consider objectionable (see added highlighting):
47 U.S.C. § 230 (c)
(1) Treatment of publisher or speaker
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
(2) Civil liability
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of--
(A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected
+++++Then you are obviously one of the elites and you are probably using cheap foreign labor and maybe even own a part of the main stream media that smears the rest of us.
We need to worry more about our rights. It used to be that corporatists were conservatives but that is no longer true. They are only conservative when it fits their bottom line. Look at the corporate media and lets worry about our rights. corporatists changed and conservative need to change too or we will be destroyed.
We need to worry more about our rights.
If I violate the rights of others I make my own rights less secure. Rights for only some, are no rights at all.
I don't understand what people think eliminating 230 protection for the techs will buy them.
Do they think that FB will no longer be able to curate what gets posted there?
Publishers typically are much more restrictive in what speech they allow on their platforms than the techs are.
If you force them to act as publishers you'll get much narrower range of opinion like you have today from The Nation or Breitbart.
What people really want is to use someone else's platform to make money for themselves without having to respect the owner's property rights.
These people can take care of their own rights
Not if we (going against conservative principle) mobilize the power of government against them.
So then why is it that the more they violate our rights the more secure and the more liberal they become? Why are we violating anybodies rights by making them pay the taxes to cover the money they spend. By making them pay the damages to the rest of us because of the open borders they create? They undermine our rights all of the time with their lying lib media and their attempts to shut down populist conservative voices. We need to stop defending these people and realize that we are the ones being ripped off and cheated and ground into the dirt.
Who said making then pay taxes violated their rights?
to cover the money they spend.
What money other than theirs do they spend?
By making them pay the damages to the rest of us because of the open borders they create?
Government creates open borders; rather than demanding that government control how social media companies use their own servers, we should demand that government secure the borders. If the latter can't work, neither can the former.
They undermine our rights all of the time with their lying lib media
Lies don't violate our rights; let's not imitate the left in fabricating fake "rights" e.g. the "right" to a college education.
and their attempts to shut down populist conservative voices.
There are many populist conservative voices on the internet and other media.
