Lies are not protected speech just because you view them as an essential part of conservative ideology, and you do not have a right to spout them on other people's property.
If you want to nail a 'Fck Biden' sign to your house, people will judge you for it but you're free to do so. If you want to nail a 'Fck Biden' sign to your neighbours house, they aren't depriving you of free speech rights when they tear down the sign and throw you off their property.
I love the notion that companies run by soulless capitalist billionaires like Thiel and Bezos and libertarian tech bros are all left leaning and in cahoots with the the democrats. They don't give a damn about left leaning people, Facebook has a former member of the Bush admin actively harming leftwing content and any attempt to stop Ben Shapiro and others from gaming the system, Amazon fights tooth and nail to kill unionisation efforts and ran adverts against it on their Twitch service, left wing content gets demonetised and banned continually on youtube and so on and so forth... The difference is that the left doesn't get to go on TV or write op eds to drone on and on how they're being silenced by big tech, unlike the persecuted minority/silent majority on the right, who never shut up about any inconvenience they face as a consequence of their sense of entitlement preventing them from obeying the rules they agree to when they sign up to use a service.
Anything they can, these ****ers are fighting covid relief for black farmers for crying out loud. There is no technicality too petty, too small that they won't try and file performative lawsuits in the hope of either blocking it or fundraising from the attempt.
And the next eight years will be spent with red states trying to fight it in the courts, because it came from democrats... And the people it benefits will lap that up because big gubmint bad and there's a democrat in power so they care about the deficit.
Re: What speech would that be Rodgers and Jordan, be specific.
I'm sure Gym Jordan would happily crack down on the first amendment rights of those who point out what he got up to prior to his run for office if he were in a position to do so.
The cyber bullying bill will no doubt be intended to stop criticism of right wing politicians and talking heads, the Doxxing bill will be intended to stop people crowdsourcing the identification of Nazis and reporting their activities to employers and the anti child abuse legislation is an attempt at giving them ammo for attack adverts on anyone who votes against it, and will throw more red meat to the qanoners of their base.
This is what you get when you elect people based on whether or not they'll attack the things Fox News told you to be mad about. They won't ever propose things that will help you, but you'll sure get a lot of pointless, doomed legislation they can go on Fox and Newsmax to crow about.
I can understand why they would feel the results are biased against them. When people search for something, they want the results to be useful and relevant, things conservative opinions rarely are.
I wonder why the executive director of an organisation with a reputation for mistranslating things from the arab world for political reasons would want to be able to block the archival of certain content? It's not like they have anything to gain from leaving their version of what was said as the most readily available to western journalists.
Hey, they have plenty of time for citizens rights cases, if a case can strip away voting rights, reproductive rights and so on, they'll love those. Even if they rule against bad law, they'll use their opinions to guide the lawmakers so they can get a little closer to banning minority voting and to shutting down that last abortion clinic.
She no doubt saw this coming long before she filed, but raised far more to cover legal fees than she actually spent in the brief period that the suit was alive. She's all about that grift.
If they ever got this, they'd funnel every penny straight into the pockets of shareholders, declaring they've had a bumper year, and the following year, they'll demand the fees paid by big tech be doubled because they can't possibly fund the infrastructure upgrades they're expected to perform because the cupboards are bare because net neutrality still exists in places people live and municipal broadband isn't illegal.
In a country as litigious as the US, how on earth do naturopaths, homeopaths and other woo peddlers not collapse under a sea of lawsuits as people destroy their health and die as a result of their 'care'?
Judging by their post history, they're one of those people who want the world to burn because they feel it'd hasten the return of the GOP to power. Doesn't matter to them how many people die, as long as Trump or someone in his mold return to punishing non whites, women and the gays.
So how many people have been rendered magnetic by vaccines then? How many people have died due to exposure to shed proteins from the vaccinated? How many people have found the microchip that is supposedly inserted with the vaccine? How many people were left infertile? How many people have had their 'god gene' turned off and lost all religion because they took a vaccine? How many of the BS claims you people have made have turned out to be true?
You can't take a victory lap because a medicine has very rare side effects and claim that means you were right continually claiming the the vaccine is a one hit kill that will have your soul fed-exed to satan.
On the plus side, as we saw with nazi groups and their switch to babytalk to try and mask the hate, it's a lot harder for them to recruit when people need super secret decoder ring to decipher the gibberish they spout. It's why the likes of Koby want an end to content moderation, so they don't need to 'hide their power level' and can just openly normalise hate and lunacy.
Companies will always have to play whack-a-mole with stupid, doesn't mean they shouldn't try.
