Don't want to be censored, don't spread information.   

Don't want to be fact checked, don't tell lies.

Don't want the gov't involved, then don't act outraged when only the other party does it.

Want to be a socialist/communist, support the government telling a private entity what information it can and cannot allow people to post on their platforms.

This is a topic where true liberals and conservatives should be in agreement.

You would think.  But what the past five years has shown me is there are few if any civil libertarians on the left anymore.  There was an "ends justifies the means" to everything that happened. 

Some of the stuff that happened should be offensive to anyone who cares about individual liberty.

It's one of my big problems with the left.  Real liberal should be anti big business, but so many who claim to be liberal are clamoring to give tech even MORE power, as long as it's anti-Trump.

And the old liberals supported individual liberties. 

I'm not sure how we put the genie back in the bottle, but we as a country really screwed up by giving big tech so much power.

The thing is, I don't cast too much blame there.  It all happened so fast, and as a country we don't like to be restrictive.

Even the companies themselves have been caught off guard. If you haven't seen The Social Dilemma, it's worth a watch.  They have facebook employees admitting that stuff they thought was good for folks turned bad.

Yeah you're right.  I am being a Monday Morning Quarterback.  I think the biggest mistake was giving them immunity as a platform then allowing them to operate as a partisan publisher.

Good grief.  Doubling down on stupid.  And it's not like we didn't just see a prime example of how bad censorship can be.  Facebook refused to allow any discussion about a possible Wuhan/Covid lab leak because it was "misinformation."  Bunch of tyrants.

It's unreal.

After the left lost their collective minds in 2016 around fake Russian collusion, they were perfectly comfortable with Facebook/Twitter having a direct influence on our elections with the treatment of the Hunter laptop.

And now this.

There are theories out there that Jon Stewart's rant about the corona virus coming from the lab on the Colbert show was all scripted so to let know it's OK now to start to believe the theory, as it seems it's likely the case.

We KNOW Trump would never try to tell  a social media platform, what to do. Right? ;)

He's suing them for their commie-like behavior.

You think it's awesome for the federal government to work with a private company to censor speech?
I find the hypocrisy amazing (although at this point I shouldn't) that the left spent the last 5 years spreading disinformation on social media about the President and his supporters and absolutely blasted Trump whenever he brought up holding social media platforms responsible, but here we are now and they are encouraging SM platforms to censor speech that they disagree with. WTF? How can any sane person NOT see the hypocrisy?

We don't always agree  (  No shit ,huh  ;D), BUT you tend to stay on topic and use informative links and coherent analogies.
I'm still undecided on ths Facebook ban issue and really haven't been paying attention.

Thanks for being a good poster that stays on the issue. Oh, I apologize for not reading some of your links.
BUT to be honest, I'm not that interested in some issues.

Agree!

BUT, I also don't want the GOV telling private internet companies who or what they can/can't ban.

I assumed it's  good conservative values to be against  GOV intrusion of any kind into a PRIVATE company.

A) I am not censored at all.  Maybe I would be if I posted dumb ass Trumpturd shit.   But since I don't, I don't have to worry.

B) Which is exactly why Trumpy signed the executive order.  He doesn't like his lies exposed and discredited.

C)  Then stop whining.  "!."

Now Biden walking it back


 ::)  ::)

Let me get this straight. Biden is now only blaming the groups/people posting the truth, I mean 'misinformation', but he's not blaming Facebook for allowing the posts??

Like everything else he does, make perfect sense.
