White House Launches Site Where You Can Report Anti-Conservative Bias from Tech Giants

What is stopping anyone creating a social media website that can be focused on any topic they want?

 

Agreed. Censorship is their tool of choice in order to shut us up.

 

Well there is USA.Life competing against Facebook now.

 

And many more so no sites are banned

 

This site is just a complaint outlet for stupid people, conspiracy theorists, and Trump Trolls. It’s almost as embarrassing as Trump’s “illegal voter” task force, and like that one, this brain child of a nitwit will ultimately amount to nothing but a waste of resources.

 

Which is not a White House or government website.

 

. It is a place where we can inform the President of the misdeeds of various left wing social media and other web sites that display bigotry and discrimination against conservatives and Christians.

 

Then you don't understand how free speech actually works. You have the right to say what you want. You do not have the right to force anyone to publish your speech.

 

This is one of the most anti-conservative ideas I have ever heard. Essentially supporters of this want big government to force a private company to change the way they do business because they have opposing political views. The idea behind free market is go use another companies product if you do not like how a company does business. If there are no other choices and enough people share your view another company will form to fill the void. If no one cares then you are out of luck.

 

Only if they're liberal. Otherwise they're boycotted, threatened and vandalized.

 

Leftist censorship is the modern day equivalent of book burning.

 

No it isn't. Book burning is when the government comes and takes your books and burns them. This is more like you put your book on someone else's private property and since that person doesn't like the book they burn it or return it. What you want is the government to come along and force that private individual to allow you to put YOUR book on THEIR private property.

 

Correct, and Trump's administration could end any and all contact, contracts, or access with bias companies and make public statements decrying such bias to the public...

 

Isn't that the government picking winners and losers in a free market society? Also I do these tech giants rely on government contracts? The idea behind social media is a place for people to communicate with each other. Does the government have contracts with Facebook, youtube, instagram, etc...

 

That would be the government using unbiased companies. The government represents all citizens, biased companies are an affront to that idea. While companies have a right to be biased, they should not expect the government to support them in any way. I don't know who the government has contracts with or not, but in a case like Facebook, this administration could stop using it and ban any government device from accessing them...

 

What is the left afraid of?

If you need to silence your opposition to win, your ideas are bad.

Mod edit: Edit text for size

 

Do you really believe this? "Bias companies are an affront to the idea that the government represents all citizens"? What do you think of the idea that Trump watches, calls and is interviewed disproportionately on conservative networks? What about the democrat not hosting debates on Fox News. We would be naive in thinking government represents all citizens equally.

I have no problems with the government stopping any government device from accessing Facebook or other websites. I work for an IT company and many social media websites are blocked just for productivity reasons. Even ESPN is blocked.

 

We know where this is headed, liberal biased companies are silencing conservative voices. The government should not use any organization that does this. What the president watches is not relevant, that's his personal decision. If the liberal press is hostile towards him, which they are, he has no obligation to give them access...

 

Obviously a site for RW Snowflakes to cry together.

If they have a problem with those sites, they are always free to start their own.

 

I do not know. I hope President Trump will do everything in his power to stop Social Media Giants from censoring speech which offends Liberals.

Will he succeed? We do not know. Perhaps some decisions will be up to Supreme Court.

 

Of course Free Speech cites are being started. Gab.com for instance.

But we would not reject help from President Trump due to some misguided principle.

 

They understand that in a Free Market of Ideas they do not stand a chance. Thus censorship is their primary strategy.

 

Then you are the one advocating big government intervention against actual 1st Amendment rights. You can't force people to publish your views just because you are offended that they don't.

 

Why all the attacks then on FOX news by Democrats?

 

Its a totalitarian ideology. Even ideas are threats to them.
