Facebook Bans Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Other Far-Right Figures

You don't understand.

Excellent points.

Incorrect, as repeatedly explained by numerous posters and posts. Incorrect. You'd be wrong there as well. Facebook isn't a bakery, and you don't understand the Supremes' ruling.

Irrelevant. Incorrect.

You know what you should do? Make an article for the Times, explaining your position. When they don't publish it, you can sue them for infringing upon your 1A rights. Then you can do the same to the Post, the Rolling Stone, Playboy, Sports Illustrated, and Reader's Digest. This could turn into a nice little income for you.

Not in this instance.

It will; you won't.

We should wager. It's win / win for me... Either I win the wager by being right, or I win as a Canadian, as America makes itself into North Korea, just so people can be partisan lunatics...and businesses that wish to remain in control of their business move north. :lol:

Actually, while I was kind of getting annoyed with this a few replies ago, I'm suddenly feeling pretty good again. :)

You don't understand the law on this.

I'm not sure you understand "the law". If it were "the law", no site in existence would bother trying to have a TOS. No one would ever get banned anywhere.

Sorry, not taking your word for it. :shrug: I'm not a lawyer, but I'm not sure one needs to be. If you have actual proof to back up anything you're saying, I'd love to see it.

What? Makes no sense.

Facebook is a privately owned free public space.

ALL it needs to do is honor free speech.

Easy?

Peasy.

:lamo Oh my goodness, but your sense of entitlement though! After this parade of posts you've forced me to look at, I'm starting to find it rather adorable, really.

Especially the part where you say I'm the one who doesn't make sense...followed immediately by "privately owned free public space". I want you to read that back to yourself a few times, and see if you can find the meat in that word soup. If that were a math equation, you'd arrive at a perfect 0. :lol:

Yeah...I guess there are a lot of entitled conservatives with panties in bunches over the fact that people don't want to enable their nonsense. I'm still not sure that trumps a corporation's right to determine their own destiny. Hosting garbage that could ultimately lead to decreased revenue and the loss of popularity of the platform cannot be the American way. I mean, you guys barely give slaps on the wrists for companies killing people...lol...

When replying to a tsunami of the same wrong ideas repeatedly, shorthand is necessary. :) Read the thread - carefully - to understand, and be patient. :)

Alright, is this the end? Have I crossed the finish line? I think so...maybe? :lol:

If you want to keep it brief, post links to support your assertions. I'd rather learn how it is than how a few conservative posters think it should be. I think you're a nice guy, looks like you've had some fun with this, but everything you're saying is counter to how business operates...as if somehow FaceBook is unique from every other type of organization, primarily in the direction of corporate rights. If you're right, your system is ****ed....more ****ed than I was willing to believe, I gave you guys more credit than that.

But, I'll reserve opinion until I get a little, you know...proof. Don't worry, I'm very patient. :)

Incorrect nonsense. Irrelevant ad hom.

The size, indeed, is irrelevant. Saying that "DP isn't Facebook" does not provide an actual reason why one retains it's first amendment rights and the other does not. DP has as much right to regulate it's own content as Facebook does.

To this issue, yes. The subject is Facebook, not DP. Ditto.

Does the government pay for their servers? Their bandwidth? Their employees?

What's with this weird seizure of private corporations you're advocating for? Are you saying that it one works really hard, and makes all the right choices, being one of the few outliers to realize the "American Dream", after all that the big reward is they lose control of how they run their business? Are you sure? How does 1A allow one to highjack a private entity?

Bizarre straw man; please read the thread to see what's ACTUALLY being said. :)
 
OlNate said:
You keep saying so...but is it true? I enjoy hearing about your opinion, but that and a buck will buy you a cup of coffee, not give you some kind of entitlement to take away control from a private corporation that you have paid nothing into. :shrug:
Click to expand...

Yes. Not happening; Facebook must honor free speech.
 
OlNate said:
Not agreeing does not equal me not "getting it". I have yet to see proof that FB is required to do anything at all, outside of what makes.

Do me a favor - I'm going through like a dozen replies from you...lol... Take for granted that I can and do read the threads I'm a part of. If your goal is to convince me of something, and you haven't yet, assume it's because your proof hasn't been...proof-y enough, not that I'm unable to comprehend what I'm participating in. I promise, if I get stumped, I'll ask...hehe...

Read the thread to better understand. :)

Then read it again.

Nonsensical argument.

Please read the thread so you can make cogent replies.

Meaningless post - less of this going forward, please.

You have clearly either not read the thread, or do not understand the concepts being discussed.

TOS are irrelevant to this issue; Facebook must honor free speech.

You don't understand the basic elements of what's being discussed.

Oh well - you're not alone.

Perhaps you can come back and read the thread when you're in a more cognitively astute frame of mind?

Best of luck to you.

What's actually being said amounts to a lot of opinion and entitlement. Not a lot of what I'd call proof or evidence or links to laws or policy. If this were a course on Constitution law, I'd want my money back....though if it were a course one how to whittle your debate opponents down with repetition of unproven talking points, I'd say money well spent! ;)

I don't see how they are not … :shrug: They're not trying to limit free speech... They're merely ensuring there's no trash in their yard. Their private yard they built and paid for, and continue to pay for.

Ok, and now I'm officially bored. I was a good sport about you spamming me with empty replies, giving you ample opportunities to demonstrate that you actually know the difference between your ass and a hole in the ground, and either you can't, or you won't, but all you seem to be interested in doing is delivering the cutesy puppy dog version of the usual garbage and nonsense propped up by frustrated conservatives who can't get over the fact that their heroes can't even meet the most basic of decency standards, calling anyone who doesn't agree with them idiots. Yawn.

I'm sure this will get figured out in the courts - with everything going on in America, whether or not Jones gets to have a heart attack on FaceBook or Twitter is surely important enough to take to the Supreme Court...lol... Honestly, being up here, I almost hope he wins...we have front row seats to the biggest gong show on the planet, why not ratchet it up a few notches. :lol: But given the precedent that would set, in terms of the right of business to determine their own strategy, I'm thinking it doesn't have a hope in hell...maybe you guys are actually trying to outdo hell? lol

Don't respond to me anymore unless your post contains a link. I think I know your opinion very well...at least, as much as I care to.
