I am ready to smash all platforms that censor speech with a government hammer . I no longer care about any arguments to the contrary. It’s time to destroy corporations that control speech. End of story. Period. Full Stop.
Well there’s a painfully stupid idea. So newspapers will have to print every letter? Nobody will be able to fire reporters? TV networks won’t be able to cancel shows?
It’s a fun little rallying cry. But out here in reality it’s a completely untenable utterly useless position. And you want to put the government in charge of it. Basically reversing the 1st amendment, give the government all the power to control speech and take it away from everybody else.
I feel your frustration and feel it’s time for some new laws about discrimination in regards to ideology.
Then I start thinking about what a slippery slope that can be and wonder if that’s the best immediate action to take. Of course getting congress to do anything usually happens at the speed of cold molasses on a winter day in Greenland.
I’d like to see some lawsuits against companies that discriminate and see where that goes first.
I’d also like to see private companies advertise they are like Gab and believe in free speech who are not controlled by commie leftists like PayPal, Stripe, and Joyent.
