One having to do with GSB seemingly requesting that he, and all his posts, be wiped from the annals of this board, and the other regarding the general topic of censorship in the current age of social media. Censorship conversations can be deep and thought-provoking, as can already be seen in this thread. I'm in no shape this morning to add anything of value to that discussion (visited with a brother of mine last night who I hadn't seen in too long, and a couple things we realized immediately when seeing one another was that we missed getting together more frequently, and that we were both real thirsty -- lots of laughs, much needed good time). GSB calling it quits is a much simpler thing. Some family member of his probably saw the results of all the time he spent on here and flat out asked him wtf?! He scrambled to get everything of his removed, then denied to that family member he ever participated here. And then quickly changed the subject by saying he'd buy them something. There is two separate discussions basically. I think they hinged from what actually happened and how the reaction to and about that happened also. Its a good conversation to have really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, having the terms of service that twitter does, they could have and probably should have dinged the Donald a while back rather than the little "warning" messages attached. When its let go too far we see the Donald and family having a watch party while retards break into the capital with lil dons wife dancing in excitement all the while. Twitter, Facebook, and etc can't risk it, man.....your monsters like ted cruz and that crew can risk it for votes. Instead of getting on twitter these fools should be looking at the monsters donald has created before more madness develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should twitter be forced to be a player in that transition because of ONE MAN? Twitter is a player whether they want to be or not. As is Facebook, parler, reddit and even here. The question is whether they are correct to stop what so many see as inciteful speech and rhetoric or whether they have any obligation to do anything at all. There is an ebb and flow to opinion on these things depending on who is getting dinged. I'm of the opinion they should have done something sooner in general, but, I can be empathetic to the opposition opinion as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wosinc Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 When I see posters who spend a good part of the last 4 years fluffing trump and saying all sorts of nasty, insulting, and just plain incorrect stuff now trying to come off as all reasonable and fair-minded I’m reminded of all the cabinet members and GOP senators who spent most of the last 4 years fluffing trump now crying about how bad he was and how he must go and boo hoo now they have to resign. Bullshit. What I see is a sinking ship and a bunch of rats measuring how far down it is to the water. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has any issue with the terms of service as they should not lose the rights of a private company, but was speaking there of any rule with actual consistency, not the rule that we do anything we want 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know you 😡 are butthurt orange 🍊 but You wouldn’t want to try to argue consistency in a field of politicians, and compare the waffle stacks of trump to the norm. 🤓 Call him misdirected if you think but he’s been more consistent than most ( on policy in general, not day to day knee jerk stuff) We know you are not going to pass on any bashing opportunity but at least make it funny or at least realistic 👍 thanks👌 🍿 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If consistency was all that mattered, then a company could draft and consistently follow a rule that said all far-right speech was to be blocked. As @zulu1128 pointed out, the 1A constrains only government actors, and as you say, a private company isn't legally obligated to publish anyone's ideas precisely because the company is protected by the 1A. But things get tricky when the spaces in which billions of people communicate, including people in public office, are privately owned, since your 1A right shouldn't prevent me from exercising my 1A right just because you happen to own the space in which speech is expressed. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy said something like the internet was poised to transform First Amendment jurisprudence. I think he had issues like these in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hard to see the writing ✍️ on this wall Unless of course you allow it to be construed or censored...inconsistently 👍 of course 🤓 See bolded above... and what I mean by us not keeping our eyes 👀 on the ball 🏈 is that you and I can argue censorship line placement all day, while it’s not even going to be a problem for us until that dirty covid cash 💰 is rounded up and you only have access to your money 💵 thru that same technocracy... 🤓 But what does a newb know 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Big Tech gets big enough and builds into their terms of service that only far-left speech will be tolerated and if they follow that rule consistently, then we'd have no grounds to object. Conservatives would still be free to chat, of course, but they'd have to figure out how to find each other and then how to exchange ideas. Maybe they could build signal fires and then send carrier pigeons to each other's homes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple notes...do you think the real "risk" involved in GSB's posts were getting sued ???......or do you think getting "de-platformed" arbitrarily would be worse? (as you ponder which more lethal)...which do you think would be easier ? or which one has more consistency in their rules to be able to rely upon for your business...?...and probably "most importantly" (as that silly newb noted LOL) which part of them controlling the access to a businesses cash does newb's technocracy already have🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
