Any security agency relying on free market private companies for intelligence deserves to go blind.

Good. No data mining there

Not the ones in question like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. That is what has brought about the complaint.

Voices like Ben Shapiro, Steve Crowder, and Rush Limbaugh are all quite present on those platforms, just to name three.

What will happen if they post information that could hurt Biden's chances?

Freedom of speech... why is this such a difficult concept?

It's difficult , when you keep having to show proof. That the news you share is a lie. And people still believe the lie. And it causing voting interference.

Even if that is your opinion… Get over it. What makes you or anyone else the Abitur of truth? I don't even think people realize how dangerous this is to their own points of views. Imagine if you will what it would be like if you were not allowed to voice your own opinions, and weren't even represented in the media. To what group of people do you think it is appropriate to completely silence and make their speech illegal?

Anyone you do not agree with? Freedom of speech and freedom of expression is not there to protect what I already agree with. It is there to protect the opinions and ideals of others I do not agree with that have the right to be heard. Including you. Liberals, pro-choice advocacy, those who hate the flag or God in the schools, etc and so forth.

Even ford owners....

Yeah, I like the old school Chevy blocks and dodge diesels. Had a 1971 LT1 350 4 bolt main all roller rocked and decked out. Had it in a 1970 caprice. Also had a 1989 D250 with a first gen Cummins. My two favorite vehicles.... then I had kids and it was SUV time.

LostMarbels said:

I do not agree. They all present themselves as free and open platforms to share ideas even if others do not necessarily agree. There even rules against attempting to silence someone else voice.... Hello? People that had millions of followers actually making their livelihoods off of creating content, for years, were removed for things that weren't even in the rules. Just targeted and banned, or demonetized.

So boycott them. Sue them if you believe that they broke their contract with you. You are under no obligation to give them your business. However, a private company breaking its own terms of service is not a constitutional issue. And I'm pretty sure that they're thoroughly covered (legally) by this line in the ToS: "We may suspend or terminate your account or cease providing you with all or part of the Services at any time for any or no reason".

Nah... that's what I have elected officials and representatives for. This entire weaponized monopolistic arm of the Democratic Party needs to face the corner. Ive had quite enough of their antics. Some things shouldn't be let go. Sometimes issues must be fought to bring forth change.

Hopefully we set a president for the MSM. They need a good whooping as well.

Here's what he sent me as a reply:
"I absolutely believe it is unconstitutional as well as me not being able to say that in open forum. You cannot even discuss staff or forum policies in open forum. I am not so sure both of us aren't going to get banned for what we have said already."

Nothing in the rules here say we can't call this site's rules unconstitutional, whatever that might even mean.
I don't believe we get dinged for this. We get dinged for talking about actual actions like removed posts, or criticizing mod actions. But saying "I think these rules are unconstitutional here!" is like screaming into the wind. They don't care, unless you're sending lawyers their way or something.

No... this is a reply. What you posted was a Private Message. Even with as much of a pain in the butt I may be, I do honestly try to remain within the rules. And I do not report people, so if you get in trouble it wasn't me....

Sent you in a private message?

Edit: Looks like it was a private message. Surely @LostMarbels deserves the basic respect of keeping a private comment private?

It's not just my opinion. It's the truth. Stop being brain washed by lies. Never mind lies might get Trump re-elected.

Forgive and forebear. Love them where they are at.

I may be a pain, but I do care. Im a pain because I stand on what I believe. I get that.

This was a really creative edit:



Why did you edit it in such a way? The way you got it posted there almost looks like I'm flaming you.
