Liberals have never been censored on Twitter Facebook or YouTube for political speech. So what are you babbling about?

I get attacked for my opinions on FR more than on Twitter.

Good.
FR is not about far left activists and trolls being allowed to do drive by shooting without being robustly challenged by other Freepers.

Who said anything about Twitter or Facebook?

I'm talking about censoring liberals on FR.

Or do you think the EO will only apply to the "bad guys"?

Perhaps. I think the head Twits have been considering this act for awhile. Obviously they want Trump gone but what mistake were they hoping he was going to make?

I will re post what In just posted on the other thread.

First of all FR is not a social media platform with billions of users. It's a conservative web site. You need to go the front page and read what FR is about before you even start posting here.
Second, FR does NOT gather or sell information about anybody to anyone.
Third, Google, Facebook YouTube etc gather information about everything and anything you do and sell that data to anyone anywhere. Google alone is making close to $10 Billion in net profits every single quarter, all of it from selling data about you.
FR on the other hand doesn't even take advertisements. It's entirely funded by contributions from members
Huge difference.

Huge difference to us, but not to the law.

The language in the EO:

"” Sec. 7. Definition. For purposes of this order, the term “online platform” means any website or application that allows users to create and share content or engage in social networking, or any general search engine.”

FR squarely fits, as it does in the Section 230 definitions.

Trump probably wouldn't go after FR but when you start giving the federal government the ability to control political speech just be prepared for when your party is no longer in charge.

Chuckle.
You keep repeating the same thing with the Sec. 7
The EO is not just Sec. 7.
Read the whole EO. Then read it again.
It clearly does not apply to sites like FR.

*** Good.
FR is not about far left activists and trolls being allowed to do drive by shooting without being robustly challenged by other Freepers. ***

Oh, yes, I’ve been here 20 years, and I’m a drive by troll.
I don’t remember seeing you back then at FReeps at State Capitals, or get-togethers. FR has changed as many originals have gone to the great FReep in the sky.

I am not a neocon. I am Christian, but not an Evangelical of the John Hagee/Paula White persuasion. I want us out of the Middle East. I do not support the US’ treatment of Julian Assange, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone.

I am tired of regime change wars, and seeing people I know coming back maimed or mentally scarred. I am sick of the Uniparty in DC.

That about sums up my positions you think are left-wing.

FR is about robust debate amongst conservatives.
Which inevitably means different opinions even amongst conservatives. You defend your points of view with strong counter arguments. Being attacked is part of it.

If you continue to come back for more then you must enjoy being the victim.

No victim here, not afraid to stand up for my beliefs/opinions. Been here 20 years, and I’m not going anywhere.
