I think frankbell hit it on the nose. Like, racist people may, or may not do, depending how stupid their parents or surroundings may have made us?! ;)

Logout of LQ n try using it...
Quite frankly: if people knew how to search and think for themselves, this site would be more useful? No offense ta small business men. Both media and free speech, help people: not think for ourselves??? Or, are we just... enablers? Forgotten what I was gonna say next? Smiley time! |
The premise that social media is “bad” is not well supported, but has already been said, freedom of speech has nothing to do with social media in any case.

There are indeed to schools of thought here: Some believe Free Speech is a natural right and that the state exists partly to protect those rights, while others believe that rights only exist to the extent they are given to you by the state. |

Private businesses have always been regulated when they become monopolies because monopolies are against the public interest. Why are online monopolies different?

Quote:
As other have stated, these are private companies and they can do whatever they want. They should not be regulated by any government because then the government can inject its interests into the business. We already have far too much government intervention in private business here in the US. |

The only reason you haven't experienced their ire is that you're neither in the public eye, nor in a position to inconvenience those disagreeing with your opinions. That can change in an instant. If the "right" to voice your opinion means that if you do so you get fired, evicted, expelled from college or university, lose your bank account and credit card, and find yourself unable to shop or participate in any public discourse online, then the entire "right" is fictional. |

They did find some questionable online activity by some individuals. On Facebook. Parler hosted people Twitter claimed were all sorts of things. That's not the same as them actually being any of those things. And of course they were on Parler, Twitter had just thrown them out. |

They are mostly public companies. Finding those with overall control as well as those with major stakes can be an entertaining paper trail.
Don't worry about governments interfering in these corporations.... Worry about the level of influence and control they already have over governments... not just yours... as they include some of the major political donors - to the parties which have pledged to best serve their interests - not yours. |
Everyones heard, sticks and stones may break their bones? I've always liked to say: if I can't say anything and get away with it, you're a moron? But,,, only a smart @#$ minus the smarts whould say that. :p
Hackers and anarchists are not same, except stereotyped? Democracy seems a giant corporation? You (I say you because I've never voted for persons, only policies. Which should be mandatory and never taken away!) try to find people aligned with your views and hope they don't change? CEO Biden*... 🙄 https://www.gnu.org/software/social/ https://medevel.com/open-source-solu...ocial-network/ I think if we ever get to the point where we can say anything and get away with it? We won't be staying stupid 💩 |
