That should make it easier for the Russians to stay in touch with far right wing groups... Hosting Parler on Russian servers is brilliant... just brilliant.


Or, "When Russia is the defender of free speech, you know America is lost."

It's a matter of perspective. I have had posts removed from various sites for defending women in athletics. If you want to be censored, just suggest biological men cannot become biological women, and therefore should not be on the track at the same time as biological women. That argument is NOT 'hate speech' and is actually expressly a feminist attitude. The same is true for questioning lock-down policy, defending the first amendment (barred from free speech for defending it?) and Covid policy in general. God help you if you do data analysis on Twitter or Facebook. Those forums REALLY dislike apples to apples comparisons, despite loving pointless apples to fruit bats comparisons.

It's a tangent, but the pandering activism and the hysteria to silence logic is simply unreal. The IOC has gone from banning biological women with unusually high testosterone levels to trying to install guidelines allowing biological men into women's events, IN THE SAME YEAR. So much for defending women's rights.

Is everything binary for you? Yes/no, 0/1, up/down? I'm not an ideologue I am just an ordinary citizen who is incensed over what I've seen happen in DC and looking for a way to bring this monstrosity to justice. Qanon and the like are hotbeds for tribalism.

Here's a thought. A law was passed essentially prohibiting web sites like Craigslist from accepting sex ads. This was the result of the so called "Craigslist Killer". The site can choose to continue to run sex ads but if doing so results in the means by which a murderer meets a victim, the web site can be held responsible. Make websites that push conspiracy lies held responsible if a felony regarding planning is linked to it. Think Qanon and "pizzagate". I'm not a lawyer; let them hammer out the details - such as requiring web sites maintain backup copies backup of online exchanges for a year for access by law authorities with a warrant in the investigation of a crime.

You can play with that thought and argue against it till the cows come home. What happened Jan 6th was an attempt to undermine the Constitutional process. That is inarguable, that was the stated goal. It was an attempt to provide a compelling reason to declare martial law and nullify the election. Censorship, no, a website can still publish false conspiracy theories but will be held responsible for facilitating it if it can be proven that plans were discussed on that web site.
Is everything binary for you? Yes/no, 0/1, up/dow... (show quote)


You are actually making the RIGHT-side argument against what FB and Twitter are doing. When FB and Twitter decide who or what gets to speak, they are editors, and in violation of the 'open' platform requirements of law. They, too, must be denied protections from law suits if they choose to censor content that is not in violation of law. Also, and I'll have to research the case, the SCOTUS rules a few years back that a private business, if empowered, protected, funded, or influenced by government or its agents, can be forcibly shut down for trying to violate rights or enact policy expressly forbidden to government. Shorthand: government cannot farm out oppression to private entities. So, too, should FB and Twitter be shut down by that standard, as it was Democrats, in 2019, who threatened these companies, and subsequently ended up with almost unfathomable value in speech suppression in the form of bans and suppression of stories like Hunter Biden's escapades and exploits.

I've been looking for a post of yours that wasn't judgmental. Perhaps you could help with that too.

I thought you made it up. Turns out it's a real word, and it seems to describe you.


Running out of comments for your trolling are you?

LOL.... It's a sad day when Russia proves to value free speech more so than the US. Libs, ain't got no brains.... You do know that the last batch of declassified documents squarely implicates Christopher Steele and the Clinton campaign in the Russia hoax, it also shows the politicization at the top of the FBI...

But don't let the truth get in the way of your BS narrative.

There's a simple solution - if you consider them to be vacuous, don't read them! Or are you into mental masochism?

I don't read your threads because of your wisdom, clearly that would be foolish, however I do like to see the responses to your inanity, and sometimes can't resist the temptation to make clear how faulty your thinking is.

Holy Chit Thom, now I am beginning to think that you have totally lost it. Tiny one is nothing but a troll that has no life outside of the Attic, and what is worse is that he/she has never, and I do mean never, offered original thought to any argument. Do you really think that I give two chits what this tiny gender questionable from Barry's Bay Canada thinks about me?
