Get woke go broke
Only if they used it on company computers while at work.
Things are trending that way, but liberals hold so much power they’re shutting down the alternatives ...
In most states political affiliation is not a protected class. The same goes both ways. It seems like the Left only plays this game but I’m not sure how Leftist ideas are commensurate with the business model so why people hire them is beyond me.
Do not go to NYC.
On company time, yes.
Post 7
Solid advice
No way in hell I will ever go to NYC. When I even set foot in that state I spend no more than what I must for basic necessities.
This seams like a massive Civil Rights issue.
It’s a direct infringement on the First Amendment.
And taking down a public domain that hasn’t done a thing wrong
that Twatter and FarceBook haven’t, seems very wrong on the
face of it.
Unfortunately the way I read it, the First Amendment only protects free speech and assembly from being abridged by government. Does private enterprise fall under this? Shaming and shunning has a long American tradition. Free speech has never been free from consequence. Is there a solution that is non violent?
Yes, right-leaning orgs need to fire Leftists posting their vapid political bleatings on company time. Furthermore, those that make controversial posts on their own time can still be fired for the same reasons since those controversial posts could blow back on the company. Sorry, but I'm tired of our side being docile losers. The Left is taking over this country without firing a shot (mostly), and we just sit by and let it happen.
I can imagine a number of scenarios where a private individual
could infringe on other people’s right to free speech.
Playing with the power when someone that had spent considerable
month to produce and present a presentation could cause the
individual to have to reimburse costs, and probably pay fines as well.
Why is a business any different when they cut off a
very large platform, denying a person to present not only
their views but those of many others.
Do you have any idea what would happen to me if I somehow
took the Washington Post operation down?
Now, why can businesses take down something similar?
Not only did one business take Parler down, but they
conspired with others to make sure he couldn’t find a
platform anywhere.
Would a RICO prosecution be the legal approach? Conspiracy versus a free speech angle?
Well...Just how long are Americans going to continue to stand by and watch these things happen?
This reminds me of when abortion was trending years ago.....the public outcry was little. We wouldn’t have it if the public didn’t want it....and the same goes now on these power plays being made.

There’s some sort of a law that protects interstate trade,
and I wonder if that could be a jumping off point.
I don’t know. Look if the guy was dealing porn or advocating
the overthrow of our government, then perhaps. He isn’t doing
things like that.
This is wrong, and there must be a way to fight back.
Our side sits on their hands... again.
The public wanted Trump too...
If your boss knows what social media you’re on you probably already screwed up.
