They said that considerable maturity is needed to make this decision, and that young people should therefore absolutely not use their true identities.
I use my real identity on a couple of social media, only because I'm retired and do not need to worry about pissing off a boss or a future employer.
“Blasting it is one thing, what will he do to correct it? Will he sic the DOJ/FBI on them? FTC? Others? That should be openly done. “
Citing what law? The same one the left made up that forced a guy to bake a cake?
That is an absurd anology.
A social media site is nowhere near the same as railroads.
Using that, FR can be cited as being a “social utilities”, a laughable phrase, and that setting a lib is the same as denying them the right to speak.
Translated: We are at war with the leftist social media. Sure hope we win this one. They deserve a good beat down for sure.
when facebook, youtube, and other commercial site block, downthrottle, and ban political candidates ads and posts during a campaign, isn’t that a violation of the FEC?
>>Yup, they just declare everything they disagree with as “hate speech.”
everything they disagree with is out of step with The Party. Even past saints of the party like JFK would now be out of step with the Party.
Stalinism on the march
I’ll bet it just burns Jack Dorksey up to have to allow Trump to make these tweets.
The LEFT’s position about hate speech if applied equally would mean total silence. But, of course, it is not.
All speech is offensive. Name an issue that is 100% approved by the people. Bueller? Bueller?
Of course, the LEFT’s position on hate speech is tyrannical. They are tyrannical.
We need a LEFT MEDIA CARTEL(including social media) free day/week/month.
Imagine if the NFL teams were publicly traded. Where would their stock price be today?
The social media management = LEFT
The stockholders = money
That is their achilles heel.
This is trash. Twitter, Facebook, etc. are private companies and they should be allowed to discriminate against conservatives all they want. Political opinion is not a protected class. If Trump stops these companies from discriminating then he is engaging in tyranny.
I dont completely understand your post.
Are you saying because you do not post political stuff the LEFT will leave you alone because they have effectively silenced you?
And you happily continue to fund them?
Sounds like the LEFT has won.
As another Freeper pointed out, this is govt censorship, they have just outsourced it.
As publicly traded companies, their stockholders/investors would disagree.
“The left:
We hate you. Therefore you are guilty of inciting hate. Therefore we can ban you.
Oh... you hate us, TOO? Well, then you are guilty of hate. Therefore we can ban you.”
Well put. Worth repeating.
LOLOLOL!!!
“This is trash. Twitter, Facebook, etc. are private companies and they should be allowed to discriminate against conservatives all they want. Political opinion is not a protected class. If Trump stops these companies from discriminating then he is engaging in tyranny.”
OK, since ALL companies are private, then you agree “No Blacks” is a perfectly valid sign for any business to put up.

I’m sure sleepy sessions will get right on it!
Twofacebook
They want it both ways.
The LEFT speech code applied equally would mean total silence. But alas, tyrannical LEFT does not.
There is something much bigger to address with these services. First it is important to expose the fact that a Saudi Prince is the second largest stockholder in Twitter. This could be an issue of National Security considering the tracking cookies these social sites and Google install in everyone’s computer every time they log in.
All these services... Google, Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter install subroutines along with their cookies that follow you everywhere you go even when not logged in or using their services. None of these have a disclaimer or anything in their contract that they are going to do this to users and it is very intrusive and most likely illegal because it is done completely without your knowledge.
Check it for yourself. Anyone who has a good ad/cookie blocker (like Ghostery) list can do this. Clear everything and come to the FR. You will see just one tracker pop up, Google analytics. Then go log into Twitter, Facebook, Gmail and log back out. Or even just go watch a Youtube video and then come back to the FR which you KNOW has only one tracker.
After this your list will pop up two here. But it will not show what this tracker is in your list, it is invisible to even these good ad blockers. Then clear your cookies and return back here, it will once again show only one.
I did this with everyone of these sites one at a time and had the same thing happen. They are tracking everything you do on the net without your knowledge even if you are logged out and not using their services.
Being private companies DOES NOT give them the legal right to do this without your knowledge.
