Free Speech, Censorship, and the Threat of Totalitarianism

[Sean Renaud]

Too bad Trump v Twitter was settled out of court after Elon purchased it. 10 million settlement to President Trump.

How do you feel about the authorities forcing a private social media company to censor content?

Any comment on the educational video I posted? Any of the content you specifically disagree with?

I'm cool with what appears to have happened here. Hell I'd just shy of encourage it.

“The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that there is no exception for "hate speech" under the First Amendment, meaning that most forms of hate speech are protected by law unless they incite imminent violence or constitute a true threat. This protection is based on the principle that free speech must be preserved to ensure robust public debate and dialogue.”

The video I posted goes into great detail about the possible dangers of government censoring of hate speech. Also discusses the best way for society to deal with it.
Apparently, us citizens in EU will soon be seriously affected.

“Truth emerges through the process of debate among competing views and opinions: from this perspective, even views that are deemed to be false can serve the positive end of forcing others to develop and clarify their opinions.”

You can read the anger in bobo's words,

You're reading into things you desperately want but aren't actually there.

WOOF WOOF!!!

time and time again he's argued this,

Nope, first time ever.

and time and time again Manu's banned his ass here....*chuckles*

You just can't actually argue against anything I said and you're asshurt about it ....... so you came up with this lame shit.

 

[UltraChad]

Yes, it does.

The ACLU, Cambridge Dictionary and Encyclopedia Britannica all say you're wrong.

 

[Fuzzy1975]

MAGAts love censorship of free speech and totalitarianism. Don't let them spread stupid misinformation about that.

Rioting isn't covered by 1A.

Rioting isn't covered by 1A.

Oh shit. That means that J6 was against some law or other.

 

[Mrtenant]

Unless you're a J6 rioter?

Chud has left the chat.

 

[Big_Mikes_Balls]

100% yes, when you have people promoting lies. Did you try the bleach? UV light in the throat?

Looked it up. He said no such thing. He was asking about future medical breakthroughs. He didn’t tell anyone to do anything.
Didn’t you claim Trump possibly killed people because of this statement? Thats a pretty serious claim to be spreading all over online. How many times have you posted this claim of yours?

Thanks for proving this important point.

Nah just making money. Wouldn't want to wind up a welfare parasite like a fuckin..... Democrat. ..Ew...it's the ick.

Oh shit. That means that J6 was against some law or other.

Oh shit, that was the era of "mostly peaceful protest" so it doesn't count.

You ready to end "mostly peaceful protest" and follow the rules or you want to keep playing fuck fuck games??

Are you still comparing a burnt garbage can in Chicago to an attempt to overthrow the US government?

Only a poorly educated chud would attempt such nonsense.

Nah it's the firebombing of federal courts, ICE facilities and violent riots in state legislatures and capitals across the country.

34 dead people, several thousand injured including some rather brutal rapes, robberies and beatings.....you know the usual "mostly peaceful protest" activities.

Only a poorly educated chud would attempt such nonsense.

Good thing I'm not a poorly educated chud.

Oh, I recall you posting that you dropped out of school. Don't pretend otherwise, incel.

Yea college is dumb, and for dumb people who want to be poor.

Incel?? I'm not married.

 

[PaxNurgle]

Incel?? I'm not married.

Why are we not surprised??

You are an idiot.

 

[Big_Mikes_Balls]

You are an idiot.

How is a good lawyer unemployed? I’m sure it’s trumps fault, right? TDS has gotten the best of you? In 4 years Vance is really going to crush what’s left of your self esteem.

 

[UltraChad]

Why are we not surprised??

Probably because you're dumb enough to think marriage is something other than a feminist scam only morons sign up for.

HATE SPEECH .....is not free speech.

Right??

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Yes it is.

Censorship doesn't stop being censorship just because a private corporation does it.



No your understanding of free speech is flawed.


Not anymore than there already is with Sec230. I think most just want sec. 230 updated to catch up with the all new invention of social media.

Something with bipartisan support and overwhelming popular support for going on a solid 12+ years now but for some odd reason just NEVER seems to actually happen.

So if someone came along and spray painted a political message you didn’t agree with on your house, you painting it back the color you want would violate the spraypainter’s right to free speech?
