I guess I’m a trailblazer, I was blacklisted in 1981 or thereabouts by the Canadian Public Service for criticizing the prime minister (Pierre Trudeau) and his ties to Cuba and the USSR, in connection with the Solidarity movement in Poland and its struggles with the Polish communist government, which members of the Canadian public service supported (without actually having the guts to come out and say so in public).
I guess their “public service” was to the public of the USSR politburo at that point in time.
However, I’m not complaining about it now, think of what a horrific life I would have had in the company of all those voluntary commies.
You forgot George Soros.
Sadly freedom of the press belongs to the guy who owns the press, not to you or me. I firmly believe these platforms are hurting their own stockholders. But that said I do not expect them to change their policies so you will just have to learn to live without them.
“Misinformation” about covid and vaccines.
Why would someone post that on a job board?
1. Will my Internet provider be next to drop my internet service because they don’t like the emails I send? Today, they are under the jurisdiction of the FCC, but laws can be changed at any time so that the government can better silence critics like me.
2. Will every bank close my bank account?
3. Will PayPal terminate my PayPal account like they did for the National Vaccine Information Center?
4. Will grocery stores be required to check IDs on entry and not let you buy food if you are on a “critical thinkers” list?
YES to all of the above, if we continue our quest to ‘purify’ the GOP by letting Democrats win over RINOs, for once they have the courts, it’s over, for good.
I killed my LinkedIn account in 2014. Haven’t missed it at all. My Facebook I deleted in November 2020 and I don’t miss them either.
You can live without these a33holes.
Well you are Gay State Conservative......
Makes a person wonder.....
“I remember in the 80s and 90s seeing young skulls full of mush walking around with t-shirts that read “question authority”. Today, the skulls full of mush are the ones in authority and refuse to be questioned.”
Exactly, and similar to Lenin’s response when asked why he no longer supported free speech. He said: “I supported free speech when I was in the opposition.”
I firmly believe these platforms
***They claim to be platforms, claim to have section 230 protection, but in reality they are operating as publishers and section 230 protection should be yanked. This was one of Trump’s biggest failures.
It’s not ‘a job board’ but like FB and such, social media but focused on professional stuff. Looks like Steve used it, as many do, to document his work and to build cred and network.
This was (is) encouraged by LinkedIn and, as people joined/grew/empowered these places, they quietly turned management over to wokists and other unAmericans, until with near-monopoly and in concert they now act. (I’m not a lawyer but this alone would seem actionable — instead people whine about Sec. 230 and wait for government to do something right?)
Sec. 230 controls whether FedGov may step in on our behalf. FedGov will never act for the people, whether we change 230 or not.
IMO these experts and others who built on these social media platforms in good faith ought to be following the Sandmann/Rittenhouse model and inflicting monetary pain.
I hate it when people use LinkedIn as a social media tool. It’s to find a job, keep up with your career field and network - not Facebook Lite. Jeesh…
There are actually three genders: male, female, and neuter. Gender is a grammatical term. There are only two sexes.
I don’t get the attraction to being on LinkedIn or Facebook or Twitter.
I don’t need them to tell me I exist.
Yes, simply remove Section 230.
There is no proof behind his claim 150,000 people died from the vaccine. It was a hypothesis, not backed up by any real world data (death certificates).
If I recall, he says take the raw data and multiply it by 20.
Me too! Now I know the secret.
LOL...maybe I’ll open an account under Lesko Brandon.
