It wasn't clear? Trumpists don't know if they want more government interference or less. Free market or not? I don't think trump worshipers are hypocrites per se, they just have no principles.
Puhleeze. I've been posting here for 12 years, 'Boom - I don't need a thread to tell me what the moderation has been like over the years, and even at its worst there has never been a comparison between the two. The whole reason why Lefties and Righies have been able to enjoy the wide range of debate and mudslinging we have around here is precisely because the admins and mods don't engage in the wholesale partisan banning you see on Fascbook and Twitler. If it did I we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.
We have something going here... Now we just need software, members, and word of mouth... and a preemptive ban on former authoritarian Presidents....
Blowing smoke So you're ok with Facebook being able to ban people because they're a privite business. But mom and pop business who are also private business can't open? So either you support it or you don't.
And what about the mods who haven't been on my side? I'm still here after all these years, and so are you, newb.
Yes, I think businesses should be allowed to open given that there are medical resources available. See, consistency.
You understand I'm exercising my freedom of speech, don't you? You know this is a discussion forum, right? And while you're defending the faux-champions of free speech who stand before the public and claim that they are not ideologically and politically biased for the credulous imbeciles who eagerly lap their lies up, I'll share this priceless pearl of hypocrisy from Fascbook's comrades at Twitler: “We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet” Enjoy! And to think there are people in this country who are actually willing to stoop to defend them. Sad, or is it, to use your own words, a sickness?
Whats sick is your lack of reasoning. FB, Twitter, AWS != the internet. But you know that. You do know that, right? I'm glad this board gives you a forum to spew half truths, strawmen, and haphazardly considered arguments. They don't have to though. I would support their choice to ban anyone for any reason. It's their business, after all. Further, I'm not defending anyone. The only thing I'm defending is the right of private industry to run their enterprises as they see fit.
What's sick is lowering yourself to defend a bunch of hypocritical frauds who lie to your face and condemn the very actions they engage in. You can tell me, yourself and everyone else here that you're not defending anyone but you are. And you're free to do so, just as I'm free to criticize them, and I'm glad this forum gives you the opportunity to express your "principles".
The "without explanation" part doesn't ring true, for Facebook to shut them twice "without explanation" seems like BS and considering it's from the far right, it's definitely BS.
Who, exactly, is 'the left' and how did they force 'parler' to violate the TOS, of Amazon web services?
We saw what was on Twitter and Facebook for 4 years. Trump is a Russian spy, racist, homophobe, who was an illegitimate president. ALL lies. No one banned. There is NO equity when it comes leftist bias in the MSM and now tech.
So you don't want government intervention, you just want to cry and moan about the way a business is run. Ok, yawn.
