So anything that has consequence should be regulated by the goverment. Got it! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All media needs to go through a goverment agency, because someone may take offence to something.

That is the argument you're making right now.

Big Tech most likely won't face censorship issues.

It'll eventually face Antitrust issues.

[Jibartik]

Why though? It's so stupid. Its insanely stupid to think that tech needs some sort of regulation, especially for the reasons given so far.

"Muh data I give em for free is muh data"

So you want to pay to use the service?

"nuh, i want them to pay meh for muh data when uh use it"

So you want, free services, like twitter & Facebook, but you want them to be owned by the goverment because you dont like people making money off the data they gather while you use their products for free?

"Yuuuuuh thats whut I wunnnt behcus muh dayta is mine!"

You are confused as to how Big Tech as been able to grow in power. Big Tech has grown in power due the auspices of the Fed Govt's regulation.

Big Tech is already currently regulated. Section 230 provides organizations with immunity from liability from comments of users such as yourself.

The Govt can simply remove Section 230. Twitter would not last long.

That'd be option 1.

There are a handful of other things the Govt could do regarding Antitrust as well that I can bring up if you'd like.

At the end of the day, its just about Power. When Big Tech gets too powerful expect it to be broken up into pieces via Antitrust. Apple is in the cross hairs as well even though that has less to do with Section 230 for them.

See historical examples of the Bells in telecommunications.

We are reliving through the 1880-1910 period. If you don’t think Amazon, Facebook and Twitter are monopolies/trusts you’re ignorant.

people are like big tech have too much power!


Sorry capitalism took away all your public spaces and leave us with private companies offering us a place to speak freely under their watch light.

You still do not understand what free speech is.
And how it is not at all under attack because you didn't bother to check what free speech laws are about.

Be mad at capitalism for making your life miserable enough that you are upset a private company has the right to kick you out of their platforms.

Just so you know, they can also kick you out of their physical stores, too.
If you want to be a nazi and not deal with the social backlash, talk with your nazi friends otherwise we are collectively concerned about you being a nazi.

because the education level is very low in America, I will make it obvious, the you is proverbial and doesn't mean YOU.

Like if you think you are free go somewhere without money.

and a side note, you guys talk about section 230 as a way to save free speech.

Literally, without that section, I could come on these forums.

say some nazi bullshit and if the comments aren't taken down, I can sue the company so obviously, my comments will be regulated and then what, you saved free speech?

[Seducio]

Everyday there is another idiot on the internet throwing the word Nazi around.

You aren't helping.

It's 2021. Where are the fucking Nazis?

If you are from Canada then your country helped our county fuck up the Nazis. That was 76 fucking years ago.

If you are calling someone a Nazi in 2021 then you are ideologically possessed and simply not thinking for yourself.

Here is a challenge for you:

Steelman the viewpoint that you are about to critique before you do it. You may actually learn something by trying to figure out what other people are saying before you say stupid shit on the internet and label other people Nazis 76s years after they were fucked up.

Look up what it means to steelman a viewpoint.
