"No evidence" of bias other than the people working for the various companies on camera admitting there's a bias.

Yeah this writer’s a ####.

“To be clear, there is no evidence that social media networks are actively engaged in deliberate censorship of any particular political point of view.“

Hahahahahahahahahaha.....stop it....yer killing me.

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah that’s a humongous stretch to state that there is no evidence of silencing conservative voices.

[Paladin2]

We need to run an experiment where we shut down CNN for 6 months to see if it will make any noticeable difference.

I suspect it won’t

[lastchance]

Yes there is bias. Is government oversight the answer we want? Remember what paves the Road To Hell.

"No evidence" of bias other than the people working for the various companies on camera admitting there's a bias.

The hilarious and inevitable outcome of this order, would it ever come into effect, would be for the companies in question to eliminate all political speech and allow nothing but pictures of grandchildren and kittens.

Can't wait for the stimulating internet of the future.

It’s already broken...Trump’s fixin to fix it...

[HighSierra5]

Good. There's part of the Internet that needs "breaking".

[sanjuanbob]

I want to see these would be totalitarian Nazis destroyed. Americans need to make it clear that any company that censors speech will be wiped off the map.

Our system of government was not designed to exist in an environment where one side gets to speak and the other side does not. This existing system is lethal to our freedoms.

I lived on the tenth floor of my dorm in college in the late 60’s. We were tasked with coming up with a name for our floor......we came up with the Good In-10-tions. : )

They (sometimes) enforce their own respective terms of service agreements that oftentimes prohibit content that includes hate speech or calls to violence. For some, that’s a political ideology.

How disingenuous. The big thing on the left is to characterize all conservative ideas as racist. And since all conservative ideas are racist, i.e. hate speech, then the terms of service dictate that any conservative content be removed. Of course that isn't censorship, it's just applying the TOS.

I wonder how Gizmodo characterizes the recent banning of Senator Mitch McConnell, the deplatforming or demonetizing of conservatives like Paul Watson, the classifying as adult content of Prager U. videos, etc.? How are these things not censorship?

[DiogenesLamp]

Good. There's part of the Internet that needs "breaking".

Here we agree. The tech Nazis need to be defanged.

[UCANSEE2]

Once again, it’s not the internet or social websites that is the problem.

Just like the issue with guns, it’s not the guns, it’s the people.

[McGruff]

a popular political talking point claiming that social media networks are censoring conservatives.

That's a fact.
