Pretty sad when you have to go to Russia for free speech. The RATs have got their Jack Boots on and are in the mood for stomping.

What about the Sherman Antitrust Act "Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal."

This sure sounds like an illegal combination in restraint of trade.

Not yet..

But we can all bet our bottom dollar this. That the Russians will test this Old Bastard very soon.

If I were them, I would put several ships off shore on the east coast and get real aggressive with their fly by’s.

Just to see how soon he pisses his pants and runs for cover.

Then, if I were the Russian government I would make it very clear that they did not even consider it with the prior administration after Trump warned them.

this mass scale censorship of regular political discourse by American citizens is dangerous to our country and must be stopped

Agreed. Now, how do we do that?

Seems like Glenn Greenwald is undergoing a conversion. 8>)

He wants the revival of the classic liberal. But that classic liberalism spawned the devil he now fights. The classic liberal was always pushing the envelope, until the envelope became so distorted that it allowed the worst among them to have a voice that went unchallenged. For it was part of their reasoning to not challenge those who views radically differed from their norm. They didn't fear it because they though it wold never gain followers. They ignored the time valued adage of, if you give them an inch, they will sooner or later take a mile, and then will demand infinity after the mile is obtained.

Some judge just threw out the Parler suit against Amazon over antitrust. Was that right? No. But leftist judges are always about getting the ‘right’ result, not the law.

It starts at the ballot box when we elect .... oh hell. That's no longer viable.

We ask nicely?

for starters, apply antitrust law to break up the monopolistic outfits like Googoo, Facef*ck, Twit...

this is something that the law permits without having to get into a “free speech” or “forced speech” legal argument with them

How many servers does Twatter, Amazon and Fakebook have in China? And - how many Fed Guv people are using Zoom which records damn near every video meeting and is now rolling out a voice platform in which audio only calls can be recorded on those servers.

Total deflection as usual.....
