Say what you want about Straw, he handles internet "squabbles" very well, doesn't get all worked up, threatening people.
The only libturd I find despicable on this forum is:

The "West Linn Loin Licka'"

The "Geriatric Groin Gravy Guzzler"

The "Clackamas County C0ck Connoisseur"

The "Pimlico Penis Puffer"

Last week Indian police busted Twitters office  :D India is Twitters #.2 market.

Is government interference is a good policy or a bad one?

Depends on whether Twitter is limiting free speech like they are in the USA.

India has a freedom of speech clause in its constitution.

Too bad the USA political class sees this as a nuisance.

Where in the US Constitution does it say that you have a right to Twitter ?

Ah, yes....well to be fair one party is more extreme is it not?

I think when a country not having borders and limiting free speech to the extent we've seen(just quick examples...there are many more) becomes a major party's platform that could be the reason.

These are indefensible by a "moderate" democrat, which is precisely why there is never an actual far left policy defense on here. What is there to concede when it is hurting the country?

I donno.  I see extreme-ness on both sides.  And Both sides use those peeps to demonize the less extreme.  IMO The open border problem is easily solved, but both sides ignore the truth of it and don't have the balls to do what's needed.  We don't need an overpriced ineffective wall.  Go after the companies that employ undocumented workers.   

How are the democrats limiting free speech?

Twitter, FB, Instagram, etc are businesses, are not government entities.  That's the beauty of a capitalistic free market.  If you don't like it, patronize something else.   I am sure that's what conservatives would say if the roles were reversed.

Social media is the new print medium. There was journo integrity as well as laws like libel and slander that protected people from what we see now.

Should a small site like getbig be subject to extra scrutiny like a utility? No....but a platform with millions of users where the platform actively is shaping and cancelling information should.

I hate to say it but people are really too stupid to defend themselves from the onslaught of information that we have access to now.

Also, STILL waiting on how the current dem platform benefits normal tax paying middle class people...the "moderate democrats"...other than offering some ghostly level of virtue or satisfying white guilt. There is never an answer for why it is good to give the future of your family away for the sake of a political whim.

You're saying it's easier to check every small business for aliens than building a wall? Nonsense. Every country in history has had a defended border. It is a physical as well as mental barrier that shows intent. Saying we need to check countless businesses for aliens while supporting the party of present flowing open borders is just backwards as it gets. Then you find them and deport them right? No? What? HAHA.

Explained my take on large social media being like the large trusted newspapers of the past in prior post. Yes, very much I'm in favor of letting the market settle things but I think people are being unduly harmed by social media and that media is in the tank for a party with very questionable motives.

I hear the left talk about conservative dominance of talk radio while 95% of everything else is touting daily things that would be unimaginably left wing just 10-15 years ago.

So are you saying it needs regulation?

What I'm saying is there are no norms or standards of reporting on these huge platforms where nearly everybody is getting their information. Worse yet, these platforms are activist in nature without making their "customers"(which is not what they actually are while being data mined to hell and back) aware.

It's not good enough to say it doesn't matter. Of course it's two sides of the same coin but look at the cap gains tax coming and tell me about how it doesn't matter when you have to sell your parents house and get hit with a 32% rate.

yes and no.  You wouldn't check every business.  But much like a state audit, it can happen by surprise any time and the penalties would be huge to the point it could put that business out of business.

Walls are BS.  Canada doesn't have a wall.  I would think there would be a flood of people wanting to go there because it's so socialist and lots of free shit. 

And to me the truth is, we don't want illegals to leave.  It keeps our prices down and frankly, what difference does it make with them being here?

Now, they shouldn't vote and should be subject to all laws, no sanc city BS.

No one is going to employ them if it means they will lose their buisness.

I understand this.  But my point is, Things didn't get much better under Trump in the context of wages, quality of living, health care cost, insurance etc.  And this Bozo in the WH doesn't look like he's doing jack either.  OB sold his soul for the legacy of ACA, another scam.

judging from this thread there are only 81 actual members on getbig. 40 are independent thinkers. 33 are trumptards and finally we have 8 homicidal maniacs. a good mix which reflects how divided we have become as a society as a whole. ;D ;D ;D ;D

THIS!   But Trumpturds can't understand something so simple because they need some kind of excuse to make for their orange baboon. They've got nothing else so they have to invent something.

Canada probably would have a wall if bordering Mexico...but they are bordering the USA so that example is nonsense. It's like having a cop as your next door neighbor.

Millions of people not paying into the system but taking from it is not worth "keeping prices down"....if that even is the case...in which I would have to see it.

Not giving them rights sounds like you want a slave class? Interesting...

Things were better under Trump for those that were doing the deal already..working, paying their bills, etc. Vastly better for small businesses. Those who were waiting for free and easy were a bit worse off...maybe...but guess who pays for all this? The first group....again, where are the getbig libs explaining the dem party platform as it benefits middle class people - who are voting themselves out of the middle class?
