I know enough about the lack of freedom of speech in Europe to make that comment, and you know it's true. After all, it was YOU who exposed me to this video:
You seem quite confused. The "right" position is to get government the F*** OUT of private business. The "right" position is to let free market forces work. The "letft" position has typically been to use authority to force the private sector to conform to their ideals of "fairness". It seems trump has done irreparable damage to the rank and file GOP member.
Oh the irony. It's f***** hilarious. You guys don't even know what to think anymore. Just a rudderless boat floating from talking point to talking point.
Get an education Learn to code Find financing Buy your own server and infrastructure Start your own service to compete with Facebook ... Profit! Get'er done boy!
Their website is still up.... you can probably still get all your pro-gun content there... https://vcdl.org/ "Guns save 2.5 million lives a year"...... Sure they do..... Facebook membership is a privilege, not a right
The biggest hurdle that the RP and conservative have in starting their own viable alternative is the demographic of their potential customers. The target audience for social networks are on the younger side and the majority are indeed more socially open and liberal. Even if it's true that as they get older they may become more conservative, that uptick is cancelled by the fact that they also lose interest in social network at the same time. So the right/conservative have a stagnant minority market that can't compete with the left/liberal offering.
So you want the government to force Amazon to provide service to an entity it deems is at odds with their business model? Really? You lefties crack me up.
It seems the confusion is all yours. For the record, I couldn't have possibly made it more explicitly clear in the final sentence of the OP that "it's a free country and Fascbook is free to be fascist", and if you think that freedom cancels other people's freedom to express their contempt or criticism of Fascbook for silencing opposing viewpoints you would be wrong. Again, it's a free country, and no one, including Fascbook is free to silence anyone outside its platform. Now, as for how you may have mistakenly gotten it into your head that either Andrew Klavan or myself have endorsed government intervention in our criticisms of the Left's propensity for silencing its opponents, that's entirely on you. I haven't endorsed it and I don't see where Klavan did, either, but if you think he did by all means point it out. It seems some people can't see past their Trump derangement and I'll have to leave it to the card-carrying members of the GOP to comment on what damage that has done to the party and its rank and file.
Or 8. Communicate through media that doesn't silence people on account of their viewpoints like Fascbook does. You know, someplace like.....the Political Forum! Freedom of choice, boy - you don't need your own Internet platform to exercise it!
Notice how the liberals who now say Facebook/Twitter/Amazon are private companies and therefore have the right to provide or not provide services as they see fit were singing from a different song sheet with respect to bakers being forced to bake wedding cakes for homosexuals.
Consider it a first step in paving the way for Virginian Democrats promised "more to come" gun control. The "Trust Busters" of old are spinning in their graves.
And they're still communicating to people on their e-mail list but the Fascbook site is still down because some viewpoints are more equal than others. I never claimed otherwise, and in parting I'll leave you with this priceless pearl of hypocrisy from Fascbook's censorious comrades at Twitler: “We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet” What a hoot!
My internet is still up... your internet is obviously still up. I bet even Philip Van Cleave's internet is still up. Ergo, no internet shutdown
So what? If anybody has "complaints" about FB, Amazon, Twitter, Etc., they are always free to move on (or start their own). ^Problem Solved
Lol! You think PF doesn't silence people because of their viewpoint. Man, PF moderation is the prime exemple of partisan. There's a thread about it.
If you agree it's facebooks, or twitters, or AWS business who they do business with I'm not sure what you bitching and moaning about. But go ahead, cry on.
