    FB is not the 'public square'. It is just 1 company.
    And everyone who signs up to facebook agree to abide by the same rules before using their FREE service.

    Prove the don't apply rules equally and fairly?

    And do you think PF applies their rules equally and fairly? I know for a fact, they haven't in the past. Humans make the decisions.
    Companies are free to enforce their own rules as they see fit.
    Are you wanting gov't to take over private companies?
    This is what the free market so called conservative are wanting?

    Democrats and Facebook are up to no good and they work together to steal votes.

    Absolutely agree.

    Can we also agree that Facebook is unfairly censoring political opinions they disagree with?

    Exactly. Just like Homosexuals can bake their own wedding cake.

    After going to their website I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts they promoted their guns and ammo giveaways which have very strict rules.

    No, they are enforcing their T’s and C’s

    What I find amazing is that in 2016 when they were being used to help Donald Trump, the right in this country said they had a right to do whatever they wanted because they were a private company

    I never said they can't.

    Nor did I say they are violating the constitution.

    What I did say is that it's wrong.

    Is it wrong though? I can accept it violates your sense of fairness but is it not business? It's their $$ at stake after all.

    You want to speak of context then bash Trump, the king of quotes taken with NO context.

    And Griffen was not banned from Twitter. She retweeted her photo last year again during the election.

    Obama also locked kids in cages and separated families. No criticism of him? And how many of those families were actually families. Kind of hard to prove a child belongs to someone when they have no ID. AND considering the excessive danger those people put those children through, they have no right to be in charge of them. Besides, they were free to take their “children” and start walking back down south again if they chose. They preferred to be separated. GREAT “parents”. Child protective services removes children from parents here for similar actions. Guess what happens to kids found homeless in the streets here? SEPARATED from their parents unable to care for them. Since you care about context so much, right?

    Speaking of context, you think Trump called the KKK good people? Nope. Did he say people should drink bleach? Nope. And what specific actions did Trump take that endangered lives? Did he force anyone NOT to wear a mask? Did he not provide funds to hospitals? Did he stop a vaccine from being produced in record time? Did he stop Fauci or anyone else from delivering information? Was any information hidden? Did he impede any states from doing what they wanted to do? NOPE!! The ONLY ones responsible for any deaths is China for unleashing it on the world. And speaking of deaths, Biden has killed quite a few people the last few weeks. But then he has the luxury of the vaccine now developed due to ZERO actions from Democrats. They said Trump was crazy for claiming it could be developed in a year. Whoops. They love reaping the results of his work though. Hope you thank Trump for the vaccine since it was on his watch. But the sheer fact you’re even hinting that the deaths are partly his fault proves your delusion. Sorry. Logic escapes you.

    Sexual preference is a protected right.

    Insane lunacy is not protected. Inciting violence is not protected. Promoting gun sales is not protected. Calling for an invasion of the Capitol and the execution of elected officials is not protected. Do you understand the difference or should I draw pictures?

    Its another version of cancel culture.

    Every American, in my opinion, should embrace the ideals and importance of free speech.

    Just my opinion.

    They do embrace the ideals of the concept but then do not practice them in reality. This is a classic example of how public opinion can be misleading when we take it at face-value. If you ask someone whether they think the first amendment is valuable and something every American enjoys, they'll say that it is. But if you ask them whether [extremist group] should be allowed to have a social media page, take ads in a newspaper, or be on tv, they'll likely express the opposite opinion. Then when it comes to letting those same people hold public gatherings or protests, they'll outright deny them the right.

    Researchers find this to be the case for many years. The disconnect between things we endorse in theory and in practice is even worse when the in-group members feel threatened or angry, or their preferred party does not control their state government.

    It may be corporations who run these social media platforms are attempting to control political dialogue and political thought to whatever is their liking. These internet companies gave Biden approximately 25 million to Trump's 778,000.

    Why conflate free speech with what a private business allows on their platform?

    Do this, go into a local restaurant and start screaming expletives. Tell me if they force you to leave - maybe you'll then understand the folly in your logic.

    Exactly.

    That entire "argument" is completely misguided (and easily dismantled).

    Do what? Protest before people having coffee? Of course that would be regarded as harassment. Purpose of the internet is to communicate with randos, so maybe you give a bad example.
