You might be a liberal if you've been brainwashed to believe that speech other than the approved speech is evil.

just dont leak internal docs about twatter, and dont speak poorly of the one guy who decides who gets banned, and pay $8!

Huh??

The Constitution absolutely does not require Twitter to publish every piece of nonsense you want to say.

And Musk knows that. That's what he's been banning people who disagree with him on Twitter. Which is kind of a massive hint right there that you're not going to get what you want.

You're missing the point. The point is Musk bought Twitter and allowed everyone to speak their opinions. It isn't a matter of businesses don't have to do this or that, it is a matter that Muck made a change that favors ALL Twitter subscribers and the cry babies just can't stand it. Every time I get on Twitter I see nothing but one Tweet after another where some Dem is acting like the world is coming to an end.

To my knowledge the only people Musk is kicking off of Twitter are people who are truly dangerous and are threatening people's lives. Also, when Musk bought Twitter, the banning and censoring took awhile to stop as Musk began to restructure the application. Changes needed to made to the software and that takes time.

And then there is the law. I can't remember the name of the law but it was signed into law back in the 2000's. The law was about how a website could be classified, either a publisher or a platform. If a publisher had copyrighted material on their website they could be sued for copyright infringement. Whereas, a platform is protected from copyright legislation but in doing so they must allow people to speak freely. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and even good ol' ImgFlip are platforms, not publishers. Legally they are not allowed to regulate the speech on their website but liberals never let silly laws get in the way of whever they want to do, just as long as it removes freedoms from the people.

No, YOU'RE missing the point. Even right at the fact that Musk ISN'T allowing everyone to speak their opinions - he's been banning the accounts of opinions he doesn't like. People who make fun of him. People who contradict him. And people he HAS to ban because they're hate speech.

And that's fine! That's how moderation works! EVERY social media site has to do that. But he's lying to you when he says that you're going to get an anything-goes paradise - he's ALREADY NOT DOING THAT.

Your last paragraph is also not true and we've discussed it before - it's a misinterpretation of FCC regulations that actually says the exact OPPOSITE of what you're saying. Social media could not exist without moderation. It's impossible. And the FCC are happy to allow every site to exercise its own moderation standards. This is not censorship. This is moderation. It is legal. You are wrong.

Are you on Twitter? If Musk is banning people who make fun or disagree with him then I haven't seen it. I made this meme in response to all of the Dems whining about his Musk. These are tweets that are filling up my feed on Twitter, not anything I am reading online or watching on "Fox News". They are saying he is ruining Twitter and is allowing "dangerous" speech.

"Your last paragraph is also not true and we've discussed it before"

I don't remember discussing this with you or anyone else in a very long time but then my memory sucks so you are probably correct.

I'll look up the actual law after work today. If you are right then I have no problem telling you that I was wrong, because it won't be the first time and it most likely won't be the last. If I am right then I'll also let you know.

You absolutely do have a problem with recognizing when you're wrong! I've told you this MANY times.

You telling me I am wrong does not make me wrong. Lots of people here try to tell me that I am wrong. When I am wrong I will admit it but I try my best to only post the truth.

See, but that's why I'm trying to tell you - you DON'T admit it when you're wrong. You're even wrong about THAT!!

How do you know that I am wrong?

By the way here is the reference to the actual law:
https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:47%20section:230%20edition:prelim)

I am too frazzled from work today. I'll look into it tomorrow.

I explicitly said I already knew which law you were referring to!

I wasn't saying that this was discussion about which law it was. I posted it there mainly so I could find the link later.

As you know, I generally do not approve of dumping links on internet comment arguments. Especially since you directly said that you're tired after a day of work, it wound be unreasonable to of me to take up your free time chasing up external discussions on the topic.

However, for the purposes of really breaking down what Section 230 really is and what it does and doesn't do, Legal Eagle provides the best analysis I've ever seen from either side. It takes half an hour. You are free to ignore this link but it is well worth your time to watch it and really, honestly, sincerely process the information it describes and the implication that somebody lied to you about Section 230 and that you believed that lie.

If I post a comment about what I read in the news then people on the left jump all over me for not posting the link. And you jumping all over me because I did post a link. I can't win for losing.

I like to avoid commentary when possible. I would rather read it for myself and determine what the law says.

Basically elon is just turnig twitter into another right wing platform like gab and other shithole sites

NO HE IS NOT!!!! Gab, MeWe, Parler, etc were never created as "another right wing platform". The creator of MeWe is a Democrat, I'm not sure about the others. What they were created for is a competition to the big social media sites and nothing else. They did not favor one political ideology over another.

The fact that you would say this lets me know that you have been brainwashed. Unlike you, I have looked into those sites. I had subscribed to them at one point. The only one that I stayed with for any length of time was MeWe and that was mainly because I got sick and tired of being sent to FB jail and called a liar by Facebook's ridiculous "fact" checkers. So I dumped Facebook. I just recently dumped MeWe because I just don''t use it anymore. When Musk bought Twitter I opened an account. There is one thing that is for sure, there are a ton of liberals on that site and I mean a ton. My feed is full of their insane ramblings about how Twitter is "dangerous" because Musk is letting conservatives also have equal speech. Oh the terror of it all that we should allow diversity of thought.

What made it seem like they were right wing is because conservatives started leaving the big guys because they were sick are tired of the treatment they were getting. Those sites were invaded by conservative refugees.

Allowing conservatives to have a voice on an open platform does NOT make it a right wing platform. What it does do is allow people to see another side of the issue and that scares Democrats to death. That is why they began censoring conservatives.

Democrats HATE freedom. They don't understand it and freedom scares them. Freedom requires that the individual, and not the federal government, is responsible for their own actions. Dems do not want to hear or read dissent. They want to be walled up in their own cocoon and they don't give a carp about how much all other voices are shut down completely.

What is truly dangerous is not allowing conservatives to have a voice, it is the opposite. We are no longer the land of the free when one party thinks that all the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights ONLY apply to them and not anyone who opposed them.

And you guys get upset when we call you socialists, communists, Nazis and fascists. If it upsets you so much THEN STOP ACTING LIKE ONE. Stop trying to "make a difference" by taking away someone else's rights just because you don't like them.

You're all a bunch of narcissists.

Tell it to Trump's pal, Kanye.

Well, you're post on Twitter was a bit on the rude side. Just a bit. I am not talking about rude speech, I am talking about political speech. Administrators and moderators from the beginning, many times tried to keep flame wars from happening. I don't know if that what Twitter is doing to you or not. One of the reasons is flame wars drive people away from chats, discussion boards, and every other kind of sites were people can post comments.

But I'm sure you already knew that. So what are you expecting of Twitter?

It's not what I'm expecting, that's only my 2nd post in 6yrs. (The 1st was asking Rob Reiner if he would champion boycotting/leaving Twitter when he was bitching about Elon's initial plan to buy it. No reply). It's what your claiming, which, as you know, is false.

What I am claiming is based entirely on what I have been seeing on Twitter ever since I signed up a few weeks ago. It's nothing but one whiny liberal after another complaining about how conservatives are going to destroy everything.

NeckKneeJackNeck, proved my point when he said "Basically elon is just turnig twitter into another right wing platform". He is saying exactly what I am seeing all over Twitter.

You know that Cookies thingy at the bottom of the screen you are asked to Accept when you go to a site?
Look up what that is.

AKA, you're seeing what you have a demonstrable habit of seeking to see because algorithms are a thing.

I know what cookies are. I know that if you reply to a person's comment you will see more Tweets from that person and Tweets from other people who think like that person. But I haven't made a ton of comments, maybe 10 at most. I save all of my venting for ImgFlip. And after I've had a good bit of complaining about "You leftists", then I feel better.

You should look into it further. It's not just your "follows," it's your online activity.
One time on this site back in 2016 while discussing redheads, I went to Pinterst to find pics. Wow, a redhead showed in my feed as soon as I got on. Then another, and another. That was via the app, yet a ton showed up without me even searching. Welcome to Cookies.

No, you don't feel better. That's why you have to keep doing it, even when you made that (short lived) attempt at being civil last week and even made me feel guilty for treating you as, well, you prefer to be treated, as you just indicated.
You're you own worst enemy, the source of your ire. As you just said, that's what you do to feel good. Except you don't.

Near 10, I gotta eat me din din/

"No, you don't feel better"

LOL You now telling me how I feel? Are you a psychic? Just don't show up at my door, that would totally freak me out.

I keep doing this because every day "liberals" go and do some knew outlandish thing. It's like you guys have hired some liberal to sit around all day long and think up the most bizarre stuff that anyone has ever heard of. Even though the Onion and the Babylon Bee has done an amazing job of staying one step ahead of you guys, you still manage to one up them. I see this insanity and then I see that if I do not accept it 100% then I'm the most foul and evil guy to have ever walked the planet.

And this happens on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis and so I have to come back here and complain about it, or make a meme complaining about it.

So what I said then?

Don't not mean to sound cold, but, like my ol' Grandpappy Modda use to say, que sera, c'est la vie.

Good for him. I just don't like watching as society crumbles because of the power hungry.

Huh?

Apparently he's saying Gab and and 2 other RWNJ sites that he himself named aren't RWNJ sites.
That and some "You leftists" somethig something wall of text

Actually I am saying that Gab, Parler, and MeWe were NOT started as right wing. "You leftists" labeled them that because "You leftists" cannot stand having a social network site that allows conservative thought.

It is very apparent ever since I got on Twitter that "You leftists" are frantic that a conservative might be allowed to speak. Because I am mostly seeing "You leftists" making posts saying exact that. Do "You leftists" understand what I am saying now?

Of course they weren't, yet that's how you (accurately) see them when you added two of them. Nothing starts out as Right Wing, they merely regress to it.

"You leftists" is a trite term denoting nothing, other than a recurring lack of imagination maintained by those who repeat it like some sort of mantra that's supposed to indicate something of really awesomating impact and amazingly meaningful to boot. It's, like, totes based.

What other label would you prefer I use when talking about people who all think identical and are on the political left? I gotta call them something or else no one would know who I am talking about.

Would you prefer, Democrats, liberals, control freaks, freedom haters, tyrants, or LWNJ's. Then there's the Marxist, communists, Nazis, fascists and socialist labels.

All of them fit.

No, other than "liberals," the rest are all Right Wing, and exceedingly so, unless you're referring to authentic according-to-theory Communists, which have only existed on the small scale, such as in Kibbutzes in Israel or Jewish communal settlements in rural Argentina or the original Co-ops in NY.

So-called Communist countries have all been hijacked pretty much at inception by Rightists, hence their quick turn to autocracies. Real Communism is simply not possible on a large scale due to the limits of rule by consensus. Those countries never even tried decision making by referendum not ownership of industry by the proletariats.

I take it Animal Farm or 1984 can be added to the list of readings you've not done regarding the subject.

"No.
And this was explained to you multiple times..."

No what? Are you denying what I said about communism? You might want to take that up with Marx. I can't help it if Marx named his version of socialism, communism.

There are two versions of communism. One is what you explained with the Kibbutzes and so on. The other is what Marx called his economic/political load of crap. It was based on socialism. Out of Marx's communism came Nazism and fascism and has strongly influenced socialism.

When people talk about communism today, 99% the time they are referring to Marxism and not communal living.

You're right I haven't read 1984. I started it a long time ago and it just depressed me too much so I put it down and never picked it back up. I haven't read Animal Farm either. Of the books from that era I read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

No.
And this was explained to you multiple times by multiple individuals in recent days, so at this point you're simply lying, and rather lamely so.

Yeah, exactly.

When are you narcissists even going to ever stop accusing us for all your faults?

;)
