Well, they have that now.
The other side has been completely silenced in every way.
As is in the playbook of any dictatorial takeover. You have to silence any and all opposition media and ensure only one side of any story is told.
THEIR SIDE !!!
I find it tragic that liberals I respect on this forum agree with this complete silencing of opposing points of view and are good with it.
What say you, @gamewell45, @Standing Wolf, @Dr. Who, @TheLiquidGuy, @Adelaide, @LostArtist ?
Do you agree with all this rampant censorship being visited upon any and all conservative voices ?
Please do not answer with a "No...but" reply.

I do not believe in any censorship at all.
If they are a Nazi scumbag, then not censoring them will show us all exactly who they are right off.
Jack Dorsey decided to censor and ban a sitting President of the United States. Think on that just a minute.
If you say it is his right as being a private business, then why can't other private businesses have the right to open their doors and continue their livelihood.
You can't say OK to this, but not OK to that.
When it is not allowed to be questioned, it is not science, it is PROPAGANDA

No. In principal I don't agree; however we have to keep in mind, all of the censorship that has been going on has been done by private companies and not the government. The first amendment will not permit the government to restrict the speech however when it comes to private companies (Google, Facebook, etc) anything goes.
What is the answer to this; their is nothing stopping anyone from starting up a new company to start their own company up in competition against the other mainstream platforms.

Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.
Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

Congress dragged in the Big Tech CEOs and told them to control speech on their platforms or Congress would regulate them more.
So you can argue that when Big Tech does what Congress demanded they are acting as the agent of the State. So the First Amendment is in play.

It's okay to do this since the companies are privately owned. Do I approve of it, in most circumstances I do not unless it's encouraging violence against the government or any person(s).
I have long said that Journalism has changed for the worse over 40 years ago once deregulation occurred and is only getting worse. With the privately run companies it's all about money and ratings as opposed to objectively reporting the news. And that's a fact.
