Trump expected to sign an executive order tonight pertaining to social media

[stfudonny]

It's a private business. They can have it however they like. Sorry, son.

actually no they cant; the courts have established that. you might remember a particular bakery.

[Procta]

I'm not talking about ambiguous terms. I mean what do you think is something that could be done about Twitter, FB, Google and YouTube being discriminative against conservatives?

yes there are plenty of ways the government can hit a business who uses any type of discrimination


"Baker forced to make gay wedding cakes, undergo sensitivity training, after losing lawsuit" and that was a small mom & pop shop

You clearly don't know how that case ended.

[JaegerBrah]

Nothing really substantial as of yet; just speculation based on his past comments about censorship and vague messages from Trump himself.



I found this quite ironic:

ITT, refusing service to gays = letting people use your service but not let them break the T&C's that they agreed to abide by before using their service.

I guess unless you guys want to sell us on the idea that CT's are a protected class, like race, etc., you're way off.

So you have no clue as to how it would work in reality.

Fairly consistent with you folk. When pressed you evaporate.

Just so you know, your Supreme Court ruled in favor of the baker... lol

[NitrogenWidget]

Sure, son. Stay triggered, son.

Son.

[GreatOldOne]

dustinh6719 is now on your ignore list for sending me a curse in a nasty gram, for merely pointing out how much he has been lied to by a charlatan, Donald Trump.

Learn to control your temper, please. People will point out Trump's lies because he LIES EVERY DAY.

Welcome to R/P.

[stfudonny]

You clearly don't know how that case ended.

all the courts ruled against them, it went to supreme court who ruled in favor only on grounds of bias in the prosecution not that they have the right to discriminate and their decision was specific to that case and not applicable to any future cases.

the court didn’t decide that any business has a right to discriminate against customers because of who they are. Instead, the court’s decision affirms again and again that our nation’s laws against discrimination are essential to maintaining America’s open society and that states can pass and enforce those laws

but who was freedom of religion? and youre intentionally making false equivalency. social media platforms are banning/silencing/hiding people with right leaning views left and right. this goes far and beyond "fact checking".

When Trump signed up on Twitter you think the service agreement was they are going to censure him and him only?

so you think you can just discrimination on people who are of a particular political affiliation is different than discriminating over race, age, religion, physical ability?

[NitrogenWidget]

So what is he planning to do? I don't support censorship in any shape or form. From either side of the political spectrum.

who knows, I haven't looked at twitter since mint peaches but there was a lot of chit posted by dem leaders right after trumps tweets that was just made up claims and never proven.
will twitter be moderating them also?

I'm going to guess no.

I give up, who?

Do you really think they only censor the president (they haven't even done so yet)?

Wasn't it a tweet when Schiff said he had evidence that Trump colluded with Russia to win the election? Wonder if that ever got fact checked

You going to provide an opinion on his question or statement?

I believe Twitter has also censured tweets about Covid 19. So it's not just Trump they're doing this to.

[z4v4]

His question is bull**** because Twitter censors/bans things/people every day. If you'd lose the victim complex for a brief moment, you'd be able to see this.

How the order would work

Under the order, the Commerce Department would ask the Federal Communications Commission for new regulations clarifying when a company's conduct might violate the good faith provisions of Section 230 -- potentially making it easier for tech companies to be sued.

That is consistent with a draft order whose text CNN first reported last summer -- and which prompted FCC officials to push back on the plan privately.

The draft order instructs the Justice Department to consult with state attorneys general on allegations of anti-conservative bias. It bans federal agencies from advertising on platforms that have allegedly violated Section 230's good-faith principles.

Finally, the draft order would direct the Federal Trade Commission to report on complaints about political bias collected by the White House and to consider bringing lawsuits against companies accused of violating the administration's interpretation of Section 230.

The provisions regarding the FTC could raise additional legal questions, as the FTC is an independent agency that does not take orders from the President.

the first amendment

[phaginator]

These big social media companies have become to big and influential. They should be controlled.

You can't compare this to a single baker who didn't want to bake a gay cake.

the first amendment

CONGRESS shall make no law... sorry, son, but Twitter isn't Congress.

[DevilMayRage]

Does it ever get tiring playing the victim?

You would know Captain *******….you cry daily here, all day.

Why not go outside for a jog and stretch your legs.

So you're in favor of big government, like China? No? Then why do you support government actions that will lead us there?

Twitter, ********, and YouTube have been outright deleting comments that they feel underplay the impact of Covid 19

I would too. Normally alt-right conspiracy theories are alright to be left alone, occasionally their members getting raided and arrested by the FBI.

But in 2020 with the capacity of widespread mis/disinformation and the unprecedented threat of a pandemic it's good that these companies are taking a responsible approach.

You don't have a right to someone else's property, regardless of how entitled to it you feel.
