if there should be freedom of speech on fb and ig, should there be freedom of speech on fr too?
FR is specifically promoted as a site for conservative speech, much like a political party or a specific religious institution.
FB, Twitter, Google, etc are open public access platforms with policies that do not delineate a particular political, cultural, religious, or commercial platform. For them to try to do so violates their charter.
As public access forums they are in substantial violation of civil rights laws protecting first amendment rights as well as at least 5 other constitutionally delineated rights including freedom of enterprise, association, and redress. It is time to take these oligarchs to court.
No. I’m not signing on to government control over the internet. Our God-given and constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc, also includes freedom of choice, freedom of association.
The government has no say over the politics, religion or viewpoints of any website or association.
Facebook, et al, also enjoy the same rights. The difference is we openly declare up front that we are a forum for like-minded traditional Judeo-Christian conservatives and that liberals, trolls, disrupters, etc, will be dismissed and removed at our moderators’ convenience. The others pretend to be open to all opinion, but obviously, they are not.
Like all other areas in our free market economy, free enterprise systems and free press publications and services, it’s always buyer’s choice/buyer beware. If you don’t like the service or can’t tolerate the politics of the service, don’t subscribe, don’t read, don’t use it.
The politicians FR are in bed with? Conservatives need to get over this fear of using the government to win. The Left has set the rules, as they are today, use them against them.
The Left no longer embodies the principal of “I disagree with they say, but will defend their right to say it”. They want any and all means to be used to destroy you, destroy this country, destroy Western Civilization. The Right is trying to play the chess game by the rules, while the Left makes their moves as if every piece is a Queen.
