AWESOME. They managed to turn the internet into a political tool/weapon. Stopping the spread of misinformation is twitter/facebook/google’s #1 job. They should be free to execute it.

Twitter or Facebook. Are you a platform or publisher. I say a publisher now.
Jeff High
October 29, 2020 at 12:38 am
A publisher makes the decision on what gets published like we are seeing with these tech companies now. A platform hosts content with a much more narrow censorship ability., like calls to violence. Section 230 was to make sure platforms are protected…not publishers.

Boo. Too bad Ted Cruz and the rest of his nasty friends never managed to raise THAT that level of outrage for the 545 kids separated from their parents.

First, 10 amendments don’t apply on Corporations.
Second, these are the people who created monopolies in the first place. For eg. A Law in California wants women on board for every public company.
Taxes and cost of living so high for the tech ecosystem that, it becomes impossible for someone to start a company. Stop the nonsense

There is no such thing as freedom of speech these days. All people do is try and micromanage everyone else’s life.

How do hou define free speach? Are you dumb On purpose or it is some kind of DNA infliction? Google and Facebook will be broken up and Twitter will go bust as all three will lose protection of 230 as they clearly became publishers. They will be screaming murder, but people at large will be celebrating. I predict that Dorsey, the newest incarnation of Ted Kaczynski, will be ousted by the Twitter board of directors as he clearly is destroying the company. Zuckerberg is the smartes of the bunch and will clean the house when faced with the company’s breakup threat.

Democrat & Republicans should be allowed to post. It’s called freedom of speech!!! Anytime you block or delete it…it’s dirty politics!! Twitter & Facebook block everything they disagree with. If freedom of speech is not allowed we are no longer the USA. How sad!

Twitter and Facebook are businesses, not taxpayer funded utilities.
They don’t owe anyone a spot, and you use any website or software on the owners terms, realistically.
Hiram Diaz
October 29, 2020 at 7:09 am
@Tech With Sean Facebook and Twitter are both businesses built on managing platforms. They don’t owe anyone a spot but the moment they choose to moderate they are acting as a publishers, not platforms, and can be held accountable for both censorship and promoting false narratives.

We want a level playing field. Conservative leaning views are crushed in Social Media. I’ve seen more 2A materials get blocked and banned because it doesn’t play well for progressive groups or anti-2A groups. I hope they lose the protections they have. They won’t last 5 years.

Don’t want your comment censored? Then, do not lie or incite hate. Simple!
Mojokuku
October 29, 2020 at 6:50 am
@Hector G. That’s not what’s actually happening though. People are getting banned and/or censored for nothing more than posting a video, picture, or comment while espousing the ‘wrong side’ of a controversial issue. Look at PragerU’s stuff. Tame by any standard. Yet their content gets removed and blocked simply because people don’t agree with their political and/or social views.
Social media doesn’t what you to even consider the point of view of conservatives. What you’re seeing is a battlefield and the people on both sides are waging a war for you mind. A world where people are free to share and debate their thoughts (conservative) or a world where everyone is force fed the same party line politics every time they turn on a TV, radio, or computer (democrat).
Hector G.
October 29, 2020 at 7:22 am
@Mojokuku first of all, PragerU is the worst kind of example. Yes, I think that lots of what they say its true and makes sense; but that is the problem. Not many people can tell the difference once PragerU squeezes some bs among the other things that are true, and those are the worse type of liars; they use the same type of techniques that terrorists use to get you to see things their way.
And no, it is not a war against conservatives as much as it is a war against misinformation; if conservatives do not want to be censored, then they should stop disseminating all this false information designed to undermine our democracy.
Mojokuku
October 29, 2020 at 9:22 am
@Hector G. PragerU is the perfect example. They have testified at hearings on this very issue. They cite historical and statistical fact but also have philosophical speeches to inspire free thought. Last they are extremely unpopular among leftists, which is probably the only ‘real reason’ why they are censored on social media.

This is a bunch of bs from republicans because their lies are getting censored. Facebook has even deleted several Democratic accounts for posting political content; some people went as far as to run for office so that Facebook would allow them to post the content back on the platform, but here are the republican snowflakes crying and acting like victims once again.

Your ignorance is the problem Hector. Blind faith is no way to choose a political position. At LEAST make an attempt to become educated. And after the country is reduced to throwing rocks and pointing laser pointers at the government troops, you’ll pretend you didn’t vote for Biden. So sad.

Those are owned by people who allow you in their house sometimes for dubious reasons.

what i believe politically is no business of google/alphabet/youtube, twitter or facebook/instagram/whatsapp. it is not the business of a corporation to dictate nor influence or suppress you’re democratic right to political freedom and political choice, thats the whole point of democracy, censoring content based on the corporations political bias explicitly (which shouldn’t even exist!) is unlawful under sovereign states that use a democratic electoral system. You have the right as a citizen to representation in governance irrespective of your political beliefs, that the whole point of a democracy!!! any effort to undermine these founding factors of democracy irrespective of political beliefs is unlawful, in any Democratic sovereign state.
simon bolton
October 29, 2020 at 12:28 pm
Any attempt to ‘moderate’ communications in a democratic sovereign state, would infact be unlawful as it places that corporation in a position of political collusion, which again is a federal offence.

Definitely not a good look for big tech. The New York Post is probably not the most credible news source on the planet, but it’s the oldest newspaper in America. And as it turns out the hunter Biden laptop story is basically proven true. We know it’s his laptop and we know the emails are real because somebody in the conversation came out in affirmed their veracity. The materials obtained by the post were in no way shape or form, or by any definition of the word, hacked. Dude copied the hard drive of an abandoned laptop.

Multiple intelligence agents in office today point out the emails have all red flags of being false. Some even called them lazily done.
