    So, we can expect you to hold others to standards you cannot hold?

    Cuckerberg is a full blown commie who fancies himself a member of the ruling global elite.

    Yes, have wanted rational regulation of certain aspects of the internet (which I love generally) for years, but not just social media... gaming, dating sites, pretty much any facet of the internet that uses flimsy TOS contracts and the lack of damages to -sell- services under whatever model, and then don't uphold their end of the deal. If a site wants to be slanted in a particular way, that's fine. They should have to disclose that before becoming enriched with content from a broad base of users with different beliefs and outlooks that enriches their valuation or revenues. Gaming companies who purposefully design addictive models should have to disclose that. Dating services who make fraudulent claims in advertising should be restricted from doing so.

    Sites like this don't derive any measurable benefit from the content that users provide. Sites that derive advertising revenue or the benefits of masses of content provided by users should be forced to have fair contract terms and be prohibited from making false claims... just like any other business in the private sector. Oh, to preempt, these contract and tort issues in internet business models have less than nothing to do with "net neutrality."

    I don't have any problem with a company controlling what is produced on their website - just as i don't have a problem with a bakery controlling what is produced in their bakery.

    If I don't agree with the website, I avoid it. If I don't agree with the bakery, I avoid it. Freedom rocks!

    Everyone forgets that the consumer/user is the ultimate arbiter in these things. We don't need the government sticking their noses in.

    Hardly a libertarian or free market position there.

    More like a fascist one

    It doesn't work for religions. Those against want to force them to comply with ideology directly opposed to their purpose.

    Oh, so rational regulations are "fascist?" LULZ, only on PF. I'm not a member of the Libertarian Party, and there's no mutual exclusivity between free markets and rational regulation of them. For free markets to truly exist, rational contract and tort restrictions must also exist.

    For example, one balance in a free market is how far the government goes to protect contract rights, currently being abused by lots of net business models.

    You're missing the point. In a thread about calling America a shithole because it doesn't have the things Norway has, I thanked the girl for confirming Trump's comments that by her standards Trump's alleged comment was correct which was considered derogatory and deleted. Meanwhile the hateful posts about America and Trump continued unabated.

    Yeah, I know FB can do whatever they want with their site, I'm just merely pointing out liberal bias by the posters and/or Facebook.

    There may be advantages to having the rest of the world, (now that they know we do not have an open checkbook) refer to us as a shithole country as it may persuade them to migrate somewhere else, say Canada or Mexico.

    Certainly, I would never consider myself potential leader of a country material, just like Trump I do not have a diplomatic bone in my body!

    I believe I heard that Norway is full of Norwegians and not full of misfits from many other lands.

    Yes it does mean beating the tar outta nazi fascist scum. Imagine an bunch of people totally prepared to use their enemies tactics against them. Gee no wonder the fascists and supremacists are so upset.


    The claim that an anti fascist group turning fasist's own tactics against them are the same as brown shirt nazis, is pathetically laughable.

    NO WAY these fascist scum should be "normalized" in american society. Millions of americans died crushing their hateful diseased ideology and tolerance of the intolerable ain't in the cards. They all should quietly crawl back under their rocks and continue their circle jerks of hatred.

    Glad you know "exactly" too bad its not dependent of "factually".

    No not at all. You constantly confuse hatred towards a particular american political group as hatred of america.

    . Seems you have never examined Trump's famous "base". YOu know those people he is willing to , foracrifice what is good for america by pandering to their basest desires, for. Guess what? It includes all the fascist racist righties and white supremacists and a goodly number of plain xenophobic bigots. Not all trump supporters, just a large contingent with their own agenda and megaphones.

    Who knew america lovers loved fascist racist scumbags to the extent they defend them by denying their existence within their ranks.

    NO they aren't his base. Seems you aren't conversant with the term. (and I don't have a base nor do I consider myself part of one but hey that's just a symptom of ideological and intellectual freedom, so I'm not surprise you wouldn't know that)>

    Diplomacy? Trump was in a closed room having a private conversation with Americans, what diplomacy are you referring to? The lack of respect came from Durbin when he left a private meeting where people should be able to speak freely and shot his mouth off. That guy should never be invited to be in the same room with Trump again.

    First, what fascist scum? Name names and exactly what you think they have done. Don't tell me they are racists. Tell me what they did that is as racist as the 1930s Nazis.

    Secondly, are folks who follow your thoughts and ideals believing that by acting as Nazis of the 1930s, their is no way they are, but rather against what those original Nazis believed?

    So, by rounding up folks, enslaving and killing them, burning books or banning them, preventing free speech, destroying private property and following a wannabe dictator(Bernie), you believe Antifa and progs are further from Nazism than to what, democratic communism? lol

    Who taught you this garbage you believe? My guess is university professors who wouldn't give you both sides and discuss all thoughts openly, just like a Nazi.

    Yes, I think you are lost and will never be an American. You don't know what it means to be free.

    Is it reasonable to have the same expectation for privacy , in a work situation compared with a conversation away from work?
    The President is in a 24/7 job. I think he needs to be aware of the need for circumspection when he speaks.

    Well if Trump says he never said it, then that's it because we all know that Trump has never once lied to the American people. He's a paragon of virtue I'm sure.

    And I hope you realize that labeling oneself as "anti fascist" has no bearing on the reality of said person's ideology.

    I think he needs to be able to speak freely and not have to measure every word in private meetings, this way everyone knows exactly what's being conveyed.

    You don't think he was at work and could have no expectation of privacy?
