the government hasn't done anything to ban anyone on social media. those are private companies banning other companies for not abiding by the terms they agreed to. free market and such.
the banning on twitter and facebook has nothing to do with the government. it is a private platform that is simply weeding out those that continuously call "fire" in a crowed theater with their nonsensical conspiracies. they have every right to do so, as a private company..."no shirt, no shoes, no service!" or as the Republicans fought for "if you are gay, we don't have to bake you a cake". the companies jumping ship is capitalism, as they don't want to have their products associated with these disgusting people. also very legal and not really part of a "woke" or 'cancel culture". those catch phrases are just from terrible people trying to put an anti progressive spin to why nobody wants to support them by giving them money to continue their terrible ways. also capitalism and totally legal.
fuck them
Agreed; And I understand the thought these are private companies and can "ban" those who they choose.
But if "you are gay and we don't have to bake you a cake" is wrong" (which I believe it is) is it equally wrong that media that serve the public such as Facebook and Twitter not do the same unless the criteria of "inciting violence" is crossed? Not sure I see the difference.
I just think that censorship, whether by the government or any business that serves the public is wrong and a slippery slope. Unlike a private company outside a public media outlet who chooses not to "support" causes and beliefs they do not wish to associate themselves with, which is within their right.
What would any right thinking person do to a satanic pedophile?
You don’t think the idea that Democrats are satanic pedophiles is the same thing as inciting violence against those same Democrats?
well, i don't believe that Facebook and Twitter was ever created to serve the public.
lol no dude that's not even close

Yeah, that's not the argument

it's the argument i was responding to
From a legal standpoint or a private company’s terms of service standpoint?
The fact that there is a difference highlights the governmental actor argument.
cool enjoy your inner dialogue
