5th Circuit ruled against Big Tech censoring Free Speech last week so it's surely going to SC.

They can just ignore it and it's only binding in that circuit. Look away, look away, look away.

Have staff drawn battle lines as well?

My question is simply does p1999 allow freedom of speech or not?

Is p99 the government? No.

If you say hateful and repugnant shit in my house, I'll give your ass the boot. Why should you be treated any differently in this house?

But is it a newspaper or is it a telephone company?

Those are the only options, soz. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The only real question whether or not something is acceptable to say is: Does it offend any group besides white males? If so, then you cannot say it. Welcome to 2022.

That would indicate that the white man is the king of the beasts because he can take the abuse and nobody else can which is something to be proud of if you think about it. It means that contrary to popular belief you're a strong sacrificial lamb because nobody else can take the beatings like you can.

However, 'white man' is too vague. A man who is straight and values certain principles receives bigger lashings.

Poverty is the greatest abuser though.

Mass media insults are nothing compared to being poor for real.

Don't tell me you're being persecuted while you sit in a jacuzzi next to the love of your life.

Values > skin color
Reality > your fantasy

Free Speech is the bedrock of freedom. It's a worthy ideal to strive for in all of humanity, not just for "government". In order for one to be able to think, one must risk being offensive/offended.

I love free speech, but humans have within them the capability to be too annoying, stupid, and/or weird to allow any public space without moderation

As Louis CK joked, all it takes is a single word, and you can ground an airplane in flight. And that word is not bomb, or anything violent. You can simply say the word "DOWN", over and over...and if you do not stop saying it, they will land the fucking plane. That's the kind of power words can have, when you get really really annoying with them

If free speech > all, then people should be allowed to spam chat rooms and message boards with ads. Or any kind of spam

So if we agree that certain things need to be blocked, then free speech really can't exist without moderation. The rest is just deciding what to block

I think if your post count remains 0 you can say whatever the fuck you want.
