I would like to think a privately owned company could make their own rules as to what is allowed. Unfortunately it seems only to apply to the left.

I get it. Anything that is even remotely Conservative is deemed hatespeech.

I understand this man’s frustration, but FB & Twitter aren’t the ONLY way to get your message out there. These venues are ‘free’ so you get what you pay for. I can’t see HOW you can have an argument about your ‘free speech’ when the service is FREE. Find a pay-for-post Conservative Venue or, better yet, design your OWN and make your OWN rules.

*SHRUG*

However, not all users understand that ‘free’ use of FB & Twitter means that YOU are actually the ‘product’ being ‘sold.’

Funny how FB seems to know that I love Kohl’s and Overstock and Zulilly and Zappos, Dog Charities, Coffee, Gardening, Steve Martin, Tom Selleck and anything in the color pink. ;)

It ain’t Rocket Science!

I just saw some hate speech at the newsstand, on the cover of People:

The Trump Family SECRETS & LIES

Donald Trump taught his children to fight dirty and win, no matter what the cost. How the ruthless family culture has shaped Don Jr., his siblings -- and the Presidency

Bet they didn't run a piece on the Obamas like that.

I, am American veteran, will speak on whatever, whenever, whoever, and however, anywhere in America, and there is nothing any corporation can do to stop me, short of assassinating me.

Facebook & Twitter are publicly traded corporations, and as such, they should be able to make the rules as they see fit. If the shareholders of the companies get upset with the censorship of conservative ideas, there will be less censorship. But until then, you can either choose to put up with it, or not participate.

However, if a college or university takes a penny of taxpayer money, then the rights of free speech and freedom of association guaranteed by the Bill of Rights should be the rule of law. That’s where lawyers need to get busy, and the worst offenders need to lose students.
