Facebook bans Louis Farrakhan, Milo Yiannopoulos, InfoWars and others from its platforms as 'dangero

You still are badly misreading the post. Try reading it again. Everything you are saying here is exactly the point.

Maybe this will help you understand: "Who gave you the right to publish whatever you want on Facebook? Do you own it? Why did you make such a fallacious statement?"

Do I seriously need to explain the concept of a counterargument? It is when you take the same logic being offered and show how it leads to absurd conclusions. I'm not saying I have the right to publish whatever I want in the local newspaper. I'm saying the opposite. The logic being used by the Facebook critics her is the logic that says I should be able to publish whatever I want on Facebook or in my local newspaper. Because apparently a private company having rules for publication is "censorship" and even, according to particularly historically myopic participants, the equivalent of Nazi book burning.

Get it now?

 

Except for those who understand the difference between government censorship and private property rights. Which shouldn't be a difficult concept for someone who claims to be on the Friedman side of politics.

 

Its always the one side.

 

He actually lived in the USSR.

I assure you he knows quite a bit about govt censorship and private property rights.

And he says the Dems remind him of the soviet union,

Thoughts?

 

Second falsehood, second dodge. Care for at third?

 

Then why are you consistently confusing the two in this thread?

My thoughts are that you are still showing a lack of understanding about the difference between government censorship and private property rights.

 

No, I am responding to what you stated.

Again, Who gave you the right to publish whatever you want in a local newspaper? Do you own it? Answer the question.

Do you know the actual difference between Facebook and a local newspaper?

Why are you continaully on the wrong side of censorship?

Exactly.

 

No, you really aren't. You are "responding" to the exact opposite.

I've answered this already. No one. That was the point. The paper is their private property. That was the whole ****ing point, as I've explained already a couple of times now. Get it now? How many times do I need to repeat it? Just give me a number and I'll happily repeat myself that many times until it sinks in.

They are both privately owned publishers, not the government. Do you understand this?

Make up your mind. One moment you say a local newspaper has private property rights and the next minute you argue that it is "the wrong side of censorship" to recognize their rights. Which is it? Pick one. I've made my position clear, why can't you?

So you also don't understand the difference between government censorship and private property rights? Good to know. I can clarify if you want.

 

I never said anything about boycotting NAMBLA. That wouldn't even mean anything, NAMBLA doesn't have anything to sell.

Only my first sentence was a comparison with NAMBLA. The rest of what I said was about Facebook and Facebook only.

What a silly strawman.

 

Here's more:

 

Then you are free to believe that it is always wrong to boycott anyone for anything they've said and that it is always wrong to refuse to publish someone else's content out of a complete misunderstanding about what freedom of speech actually means. No one else is obligated to believe the same falsehoods.

Let us know when you plan on leaving the forum because of its terms of use, which limit what the forum is willing to publish.

 

Funny that only leftists have the intelligence and drive to create large social media and network programming. Conservatives always yell about being censored, or not being represented, but never admit to why it is they can't build their own ... whatever.

 

So smart you lost the election and got caught spying on a political opponents campaign.

Real. Smart.

 

The right-wing conspiracy nuts in this thread be like “How daré a private company impose its own terms of use.” You guys are always pushing for government control of private enterprise. It’s disgusting.

 

It’s about effing time. Is this the beginning of common sense restored? Can we finally return the lunatics to the fringes where they belong?

 

Cons should start their own platform.
Y’all can call it frienworld and espouse all the lies and propaganda you want... oh wait

Private companies should be free to associate with who ever they want, at least that’s what the cons have been saying for the last few years.

 

Oh really? Kind of like a baker making a cake huh?

 

I concede that unless President Trump can invoke some form of anti-monopoly law, Social Media Giants have a right to censor. I hope Conservatives can built Alternative Media.

Nevertheless I am grateful to President Trump for calling out The Enemy of The People.

I also applaud Brazilian President Bolsonaro for taking a stronger stand against Liberal Totalitarians.

 

And if only conservatives were intelligent enough to build the internet and their own successful social media sites and MSM then they could get the word out ... and I did't vote for Clinton.

 

Why mourn private property rights, though? Using government force to make private companies publish views they do not wish to is far more of a violation of free speech rights.

 

I hope President Trump can succeed. If not then not. I am not asking Liberals for anything.

I applaud President Bolsonaro's tougher approach to the Totalitarian Left.

 

The whole high tech industry was built by left leaning individuals ... some conservatives may have the money, but apparently not the motivation or intelligence build an "alternate media".

 

Trump is no stranger to totalitarian leanings. I don't see any reason to prefer the totalitarian right over the totalitarian left.

 

Only time will tell. Now they have the motivation. In USSR was Samizdat -- self published media independent of Communists.

 

Unfortunately President Trump has no way to punish Totalitarian Liberals.

I would support President Bolsonaro if he takes appropriate measures with respect to Totalitarian Left.
