what i'm always concerned with is a constitutional government. national defense is the fed's #1 constitutional role. giving away money for broadband appears nowhere in the constitution.
this is nothing more than wealth redistribution. steal one person's money and use it to buy broadband for another. great example of government overreach.
using straight RSS is far superior for the user. i've tried using some of the proprietary platforms and the user experience is horrible as the audio is littered with ads. the podcast becomes unusable. there are some cool podcasts available today that i won't listen to because i simply cannot tolerate the ads.
those are impressive assertions but there is no proof for any of it. jan 6 was just a bunch of idiots rioting exactly like the idiot blm people. no difference. but i'm sure you support all the blm rioting.
you're the one who fears certain speech that may "harm you". i don't believe in that concept. you're the one that wants censorship, not me. you're the one that wants sanitized safe that you agree with. you're words, not mine.
yes a platform has the right to set tos, rules, etc. and kick people off. i agree that they may do that. you and everyone else in this thread have very thick heads and completely missed my point. my point is simply that i disagree with the existence of said tos & rules. i don't believe that moderation & tos is necessary and should not exist. people should (note that i said should, not must) be able to say what ever they want -- period. the readers should be adult enough to ignore the stuff they don't like. i also believe that exercising their tos, while they have a right to do it, is in fact a form of censorship.
there was no insurrection. that is a liberal talking point, but nice try. what you're referring to was a riot just like the thousands of blm & antifa riots that happened over the past years. no different. just lawless people rioting and destroying property. and no sane person supports such action by anyone.
never said as much. when someone posts on social media you're not required to read it. delete or scroll by. so a free platform with no moderation does not require that anyone listen. apparently you haven't found the delete key or page down key on your keyboard.
that would be trespassing and you meet the muzzle of a firearm. however in a public place or on social media then i would have no issue with it. go right ahead. i'm an adult who can take unpleasant words no problem.
you're correct that platforms can "moderate" their content, but not with the 230 exemption from congress. and censorship can happen from an entity, not just government. the fact is that the media are shills of the democrat party and are doing their dirty work. twitter & facebook regularly censor posts & opinions that they dislike. and yes it is censorship. if people in this country didn't have such thin skin and could actually grow a pair we could have free speech in places like social media.
moderation is nothing less than censorship. parler caved. there is no promise of an offense free life. if you dislike someone's opinion then scroll on by and ignore it. act like an adult and not a child. social media platforms should not be censored (moderated), but should be a free flow of ideas and opinions. people don't seem to understand that free speech is always, by definition speech that you may not like.

Re: Re:
government has no money. if gov subsidizes broadband to reduce the price then the taxpayer will pay the bill. that is theft.

words don't make people do things. look into the concept of personal responsibility. something you liberals don't understand.

so you can't distinguish between a riot and words posted on social media? are you really that stupid? did you even graduate high school?
