...
The left wants the private bakery to be forced to bake the wedding cake
The left also doesn't want twitter to be forced to host conservatives, because private business

Gotta pick one.
It really looks like you have the laughable argument.

1. The conversations isn't that twitter should be forced to host conservatives. The discussion is on free speech. And twitter can ban you for your tweets if they deemed extreme or dangerous misinformation. Something conservative just happen to be guilty on the platform of.

2. Twitter and Facebook are havens for the conservatives.

3. Twitter the private business has guidelines and if you break them you are banned. It is as simple as that.

Your analogy is was just flawed.

No, no, wrong. Read my above reply to jib. I didn't say they can't ban anyone, but sec 230 requires them to apply their editing in good faith and in an unbiased way, which they demonstrably do not.

What is considered "extreme" is just determined by some activist. They consider a benign tweet about election irregularities to be "extremism", BOOM that guy is banned!

Meanwhile antifa and blm literally organized dozens and dozens or riots using these platforms, and the vast majority of accounts have not been banned. This is clearly not a fair, good faith and unbiased application of their policies. It is clearly curated, which makes them a publisher. This is the *entire* issue.

It always just comes down to slimeball lawyerese whenever the left tries to pretend these companies don't stifle conservatives. Oh look guys, they THRIVE on facebook and twitter! Lol what? Why? Because they haven't *all* been banned?

Democrats are the ones that are upset about social media not trump people.

OK since both of you want to nationalize social media, and so does Zuckerberg. What is stopping it?

I'm not sure what you mean by "nationalizing social media"?

Private businesses used to be able to deny black people from patronizing them, but then the civil rights act of 1964 made that illegal.

Was that nationalizing those businesses.. or... ?

Also, nobody is saying that twitter shouldn't be able to ban conservatives. The argument is that they need to apply their standards equally, and in good faith, to be protected by sec.230, which they blatantly don't. They do this via incredibly vague, nebulous and maleable verbiage like "hatespeech". Hatespeech is not allowed! Okay, well, I consider it to be "hatespeech" when people make jokes about conservatives being white supremacists, because that's complete slander. Will twitter ban those people for "hatespeech"? I have a feeling.... not so much.

The cake baking fiasco is so misunderstood...the issue was that the couple wanted them to decorate it in a way that made it known that it was for a gay couple. The Bakery would happily sell a cake to the couple. They would not sell and decorate a wedding cake for a gay couple.

Making it so social media answered to a national review of any type.

The current pitch, all 3 sides are proposing, is to strike down that law that prevents social media companies from being liable for things users post, i forget the exact dealio number and law name, Whale remembers I'm sure?

The social media companies convinced america that it would be bad to do that back in the late 90s or 2000s, and we all agreed and so they made that a law.

But now they all changed their minds, the media companies too, mostly because they now have empires large enough to be able to pay for the review boards, while competition would not, so it puts them at a great advantage to maintain control of the "airwaves" so to speak.

So yeah that's the current status of social media laws in this country and where they're headed, because there is not one group that argues against changing the law.

edit: Oh yeah should metion media companies like CNN and FOX also want this to happen because they are losing control of the airwaves to social media and user created content on youtube.

Bring this to America and you will get results. This is what we need and this is what's coming as a response to this far left lunacy we've all been going along with for far too long.
