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

And in the meantime, every day of the week, all day, the man whose presence is always in the White House, lurking somewhere close to whisper in Trump's ear words that are sympathetic to white supremacy. The Trump whisperer, Stephen Miller.

 

I'm not on the left and I've specifically said that, while I disagree with the bakers' actions, I think they should have been allowed to make their decision. Try again.

 

Is it okay for restaurants to ban people who wear MAGA red hats?

 

A gay guy that happens to make fun of political correctness is dangerous?

 

That's like... apples and tacos.

 

If apples and tacos were both on the topic of one party being somehow obligated to publish the views of others. Until then, no, that's a desperate and terrible attempt to appeal (apple joke) to an analogy in order to dodge the point.

 

They are on their own time. The platform is open to the public. NFL does not allow the public on the field and is not an Social Media platform that deals in information.

You are comparing an apple to an orangutan.

 

Yes... 100% on their time. They represent the NFL when on the field during game day. That is the NFL's call and they are clearly not happy with such political expression as they shouldn't, because it turns off viewers.

 

And Facebook is not happy with political expressions because it turns off viewers...what's the difference?

 

The platform is privately owned, not a public asset. All content organizations deal in information. Should Breitbart be obligated to publish whatever I send them? You are on a forum, which also deals in information. Should they be forbidden from having any kind of code of conduct? Private property is private property. Applying make-believe, inaccurate analogies to try to make the appear like something else won't fly.

 

It's FB's call and they are clearly not happy with such political expression as they shouldn't, because it turns off viewers. This ain't rocket surgery.

 

The NFL’s “take a knee” ban is flatly illegal

People wonder why the social media platform is dying.

Banning people for wrong think is a losing proposition

 

What are the odds that Trump supporters are alright with "censoring" black people but not anti-Semites and white supremacists??

 

No... no. I'm not a platform, and the sig is reserved for the individual to express a view, there's no other purpose for it. You used an incredibly bad example.

But to the point, I'll say this; if I owned a social media platform I would honor the higher principal of free speech, with the exception for incitement/libel/slander. Why? Well, because I'm not a cowardly little fascist who wants to control what's acceptable to discuss while pretending that I have no bias.

 

No one is stopping you from starting a social media platform.

 

You are a platform. And if individuals can express their views, why not groups/companies? Weird.

I'm glad you feel you would empowered to have such a choice about your private property. Why don't you want others to have control over their property?

If you really believed that having private community guidelines was "fascist" then, well, you wouldn't have a clue what fascism actually means, but you'd also quit this forum. When can we expect that to happen?

 

fox news bans ad for documentary about american nazi rally In 1939
https://paleofuture.gizmodo.com/fox-news-bans-ad-for-documentary-about-american-nazi-ra-1832616819

The 7-minute movie, which was recently nominated for an Academy Award, explores the terrifying day on February 20, 1939 when thousands of American Nazis held a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York. The CEO of Fox News reportedly claims that an ad for the anti-Nazi movie is “not appropriate for our air.”

The 30-second ad, titled “It Can Happen Here,” was supposed to run during the Sean Hannity Show earlier this week. The title of the ad is a reference to the 1935 novel It Can’t Happen Here, by Sinclair Lewis which predicted a rise of fascism in the United States during the 1930s. But Fox News apparently doesn’t want anti-Nazi content on its channel.

 

Anyone who can't handle the free speach of others is not worth the pile of rotten flesh they will become at the end of their life.

 

Are you alright with the censorship on this very forum we are all on now?

Speaking of Fox, their website forum is so censored it's ridiculous.

Interestingly, they let their main "demo" say the most vile hateful things day in and day out.

 

No, you have no right to demand anything from the local newspaper. Do you own it? Do you work there? Do you have the right to walk into McDonald's and demand they start making lasagna or meatballs?

 

Indeed. And yet they cheer when bakeries refuse to serve gay people.

 

Right, just time and money I don't have.

 

Congrats for understanding the point of the quote you just posted. Now apply the same concept to Facebook and you will understand why it was said.

 

You made a terrible point with a terrible example.
