Twitter and Facebook are the fourth and fifth branches of government, I guess.

Ben’s too smart for what he does. Going up against him in a debate on any topic would be terrifying.

Ben is fucking annoying 99% of the time and talks so fast you can barely underatand what he is saying. He did his best to help Hillary win in 2016 too.

But when he's right, he's right.

While I agree with the premise, Ben loses me when he references 1A

HH is correct that freedom of speech is limited to protection against government censorship and not private enterprise, and that’s a good thing, for the most part.

That doesn’t make all of this shit any less disgusting, though, and the people like IC and HH any less shit headed.

Except - the part you're missing here is that by limiting 'free speech' (some would say exercising censorship), monoliths like Facebook and twitter go from the realm of being a 'platform' to be a 'publisher'. What that means is they are now liable for the content of that which they post to their sites and the consequences thereof.

If they just keep it wide open when it comes to speech/writing, they maintain their legal status and don't open themselves up to $$$ and criminal accusations as a party to the bad guys.

My call is one of ACB's first cases will be on this very issue.

He said overturning 1st amendment ideals. Wordy and unnecessary but I'm guessing he understands the difference. Twitter can do what they want and I encourage them to keep throwing gas on the fire

He lost me when he became a never Trumper

The social media giants are in the business of providing a public forum. This needs to be recognized first and foremost.

If you own a burger shack in Montana, your facilities has to be ADA compliant because it serves the public - theoretically all the public.

If you are going to be providing a place for the public to congregate - in person or virtually - it needs to serve all the public.


Look I don't want more government, especially to enforce a 'fairness; doctrine, however BigTech is leaving us? no choice.

This is true, but it’s about fucking time we remove their monopolistic privileges.

Fuck those pin headed Silicon Valley ideologues - let those bitches function in a free market like everyone else and knock their asses off their thrown (like they do our statues).

I fucking hate the tech infestation
