Will they censor anti Christian speech? Didn’t think so.
Ping
I don't agree with Facebook, etc. But it's a private business - they can do what they want.
How about anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Caucasian, anti-family, anti-life, anti-Second Amendment...speech? Can they “censor” that too?
When did section 230 become law? Whoever voted for it should be grilled like a porkchop by the voters
They have the right to add, delete, and censor anyone using their product. Those who wish to do something about it can use the power of the market to drop their accounts, and find a new, or create a new, alternative.
Go for it AFLC! Kick that Camel’s nose out from under the edge of our tent, and chain it up over in the sand pit it belongs.
There could be blowback from this lawsuit...could eventually lead to a determination that the FCC has jurisdiction over the internet. Bad idea.
I wonder if Twitter will bake me a cake against same sex marriage?
I know it’s not a bakery, but the whole company has baked brains.
And, if successful, what is to stop someone from suing Free Republic for not allowing certain speech? Yet, some people applaud this lawsuit.
Facebook servers are private but they use the internet to deliver the information. These AT&T, Verizon etc. internet systems are owned by stockholders. Facebook is one part of the informatin delivery team. People with Facebook accounts have a contract whether written or implied, that the information is based on free speech rights. The government cannot regulate free speech and the social media sights must abide by their contract with their users.
There would be no need to sue a small website like this. The FCC would ‘regulate’ it out of operation with exorbitant fees, reporting requirements, etc.
The “social media” moguls are being enlisted by the government to force us to accept our new masters.
IDK about that. If they have a business that is making wedding cakes, can they discriminate between cake users?
They should be able to do what they want, but CA won’t allow any private business to discriminate for any reason, so why let Facebook get away with it?
Not in CA private business can’t. And Christian bakers anywhere can’t.

Yes, they are a private company-—but they have to be truthful and not commit fraud.
They have to advertise in BIG PRINT and UPFRONT that they CENSOR CHRISTIANITY and BAN certain 1st Amendment Rights and promote ISLAM.
They should have to also state that they promote fascism, mutilation of women, pederasty, sodomy, and misogyny (all muslim virtues), and the persecution and killing of Christians.
All persons who log in should be required to read the above statements, so fraud and misperceptions and lies are not perpetuated by users of their fascist sites.
So, a California store cannot kick someone out the door for having no money to pay for a product? A business can't refuse service to a Cruz supporter? A private company cannot mandate a dress code that includes no political messaging?
