Americans Abandoning Free Speech Better Brace for the Consequences

You mean like Michael Lindell??? The guy who allows millions to sleep better? That Lindell?

 

HUH?!?! You are the one that equated the likes of a president, et al to the KKK, not I.

 

I did? Where?

A search in this thread only shows you are the only one with president in a post.

 

I see your point, garbage in = garbage out, and that very much is the goal of various forms of censorship, no matter who the censor, the government or a private company doing the government's bidding regarding certain narratives.

Arthur Bloom observed that the most effective kind of propaganda is by omission. He's right.

By omitting certain dissenting opinions and narratives, the private companies keep the public perception right where the government wants it to be.

That may be too subtle for you to grasp.

 

It is not exactly about free speech, it is about a new reality. Facebook, Youtube, Tweeter and PoliticalForum became de facto a public square and we need to create a new laws. If the above corporations are private, they have a right to censorship, if not, they can sue for the contents they display as regular newspaper or TV station.

 

Those towing a party line tend to see one side of the problem. Both parties and those tho blindly support them are the problem. The letter by their name makes no difference.

 

Opinions aren't being omitted. Propaganda, perhaps, as some have been for inciting violence.
But CERTAINLY NOT doing any gov't bidding. That is still pure gibberish.

That silly gibberish is conspiracy theory material.

There are literally thousands of conservatives still posting on social media. If those sites wanted squash conservative voices, there'd be next to NONE of them left with accounts.

 

Aaah the "both sides are to blame..." whit flag of surrender.
I accept your surrender.

 

Yes, and one of my posts was deleted by one of the moderators because I quoted Donald Trump as saying "low educated" love him.

 

Yeah, probably why Bill O'Reilly's show was cancelled.

Probably why Alan Colmes was kicked off the Hannity & Colmes show.

Probably why Glenn Beck's show was cancelled.

Probably why Lou Dobb's show was cancelled.


Darn jews and democrats.

 

While I’m no fan of how the social media industry has handled these issues, I’m getting real tired of people crying about their free speech rights because they can’t say stupid **** on twitter.

I called it out a long time ago, this is all just a big con to minimize free speech rights. Sooner or later the con-servatives are gonna crack down on real free speech protections and use this clown show as an excuse.

 

Sorry Charlie, your Rose Colored Glasses seem much stronger today than before.

The omission and suppression of the most famous Official Narrative (until Operation Covid) was regarding the events of 911.

Never since that Official Narrative was brought have mainstream media given 2 minutes to dissenting opinions. Mainstream would never discuss any of the major failures of that narrative, from impossible cell phone calls to the absence of an airliner at the Pentagon.

Now with Covid, the dissenting doctors and scientists are censored and vilified.

My bet is that another poster was offended by your words, and reported the post. The mod had to respond. Just a guess on my part.

 

Again, with conspiracy theory.

I don't need rose colored glasses. You need to rid yourself of brown colored glasses. Or some other color that allows clarity.

 

Of course. But that wasn't the point. Deleting a post for saying 'Trump loves the low educated'. ??

Really?

 

Subjective interpretations are part of the human condition.

 

As you are aware, it has become fashionable for conservatives to play the victim card by pretending their 1st Amendment rights are being compromised for not being allowed to lie or foment violence on privately owned social media platforms.

 

As others are aware, today's left has become notorious for its claim as being sole possessor of what is true in this world. Today's left has become notorious for its advocacy of censorship, for its fear of dissenting views.

The men of 1787 are rolling in their graves.

 

That is completely wrong.
Another conspiracy theory belief.

 

As are the failure to grasp the meaning of the 1st Amendment.

 

Was not Majorie Taylor Greene punished by government for her exercise of free speech?

 

No, she wasn't. She was stripped of her committee memberships which is a separate process and solely within congress' authority. Her speech was not banned nor criminal.

 

No

 

Why did she lose her committee asignments in the House?

 

And yet she was punished with losing her committee assignments because of her speech.
Certainly that has a chilling effect on the concept of free speech.
