A private company could not restrict speech, even though it owned the sidewalk the speech was being distributed. THIS APPLIES TO TECH COMPANIES.
******************************************************************************
I would think that Facebook and Twitter etc. have sufficiently invite the public in, to qualify as the town square of today, where free speech is required.
However, more recent cases have no been quite so positive in this regards. With Commie Takeover of our Government, Courts, Universities etc. not sure a class Action lawsuit would do any good.
Cyber Promotions v. America Online, 948 F. Supp. 436, 442 (E.D. Pa. 1996).[1]
Cyber Promotions wished to send out “mass email advertisements” to AOL customers. AOL installed software to block those emails.
Cyber Promotions sued on free speech grounds and cited the Marsh case as authority for the proposition that even though AOL’s servers were private property, AOL had opened them to the public to a degree sufficient that constitutional free speech protections could be applied.
The federal district court disagreed, thereby paving the way for spam filters at the Internet service provider level.
In Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner, the Supreme Court distinguished a private shopping mall from the company town in Marsh v. Alabama and held that the mall had not been sufficiently dedicated to public use for First Amendment free speech rights to apply within it.
Recently the case has been highlighted as a potential precedent to treat online communication media like Facebook as a public space to prevent it from censoring speech.[2][3]
However, in Manhattan Community Access Corp. v. Halleck the Supreme Court found that private companies only count as state actors for first amendment purposes if they exercise “powers traditionally exclusive to the state.”
Supreme Court strikes again.
Just finished listening to the Ann Vandersteel report. General Tom McInerney reported that he had learned that Comey sold Hammer and Scorecard to the Chinese. So much for a higher loyalty. spit.
I’m calling it a night.....You?
Ok thankQ for the clarification!
Once they start talking and the one guy starts talking about post 4414 and he brings in the Pope? Yeah. Oooookay dude. Then he just rambles. I’m looking at 4414 right now.
Also, if the internet gets paused that’s going to take down the stock market, business, everything.
Let’s look at that line in 4414 again.
RED2: Central communications blackout [continental US]
That’s doesn’t mean ALL communications black out. If it did Q would have said that. I think it means cloud services like Amazon and others.

What worries me is real life. I am one dude with no support. Granted,I am a scientist in Commie Richmond,VA. No one cares about me. If I speak up, I lose my job. Take off my mask, talk shit about the misguided administration, be an American. I’m fucked. I have a daughter to care for. Revolution? Yup, not gonna happen.
All the tough interweb guys can preach revolution and independence. What happens to mere humans in everyone’s fantasies? Who had the backs of the Capitol Patriots? Faith and patience do not pay the bills.
"I wonder how the business owners in Portland, Seattle and other U.S. cities feel. Their lives and businesses were attacked by domestic terrorists who,, if they were arrested, were released by authorities. When the law does not apply to everyone equally, there is no law. Arbitrary law enforcement should be criminal in itself. The hypocrisy of elected officials and political parties are beyond belief."

He says credit cards and ATM machines are going down for approximately 5 days. Ten Days of Darkness ends on the 19th. Other political details, etc., as well. Says president of Italy may have been arrested and is a player in M16.
Anyway, my little contact who sent me the video, saw it and tried their credit card and their ATM. Sure enough NEITHER worked, in Dallas County.
Nobody said to have cash around. I didn’t think of it, either.”
My ATM card worked at the credit union in my county Saturday.
When did your contact have issues with their card?
they are saying the pope has been arrested on up to 80 counts....hmmm.....
Dallas TX.
I have no idea...I just put that up there so those in the know on FR can dissect it...They just said it's posted on Twitter that the Pope has been arrested...

I don't know about that either...They have been talking about blackouts in different parts of the World...Pakistan, the Vatican and a few other places...
You are okay. “Military is the only way.” We are as you alluded, responsible for our household and to stay out of the way of military operations. You’re good.
FR is family...unload on us...rant and rage....there’s lots of people here struggling with the loss of jobs, loss of family, chronic illness and just plain old anger and despair over some of the people in this country....

That’s Prepper 101 says to have 3 months of cash minimum. In places like Bosnia, Venezuela etc. the first few months cash is KING. Then not so much especially if its a financial crash and hyperinflation—that you need hard assets—silver, gold, and stuff for barter-sugar, coffee, alcohol, etc.
Forget the despair on this thread, anyway. Let’s not encourage thread therapeutic counsel.
Cameras are down. Suggesting strongly the blackouts are cover for arrests. Idk.
You asked about time. 1 AM (CST). Pardon. I read your inquiry as *where* and not when.
