    I was never a moderator.
    Although I have been in other places — if you feel I am nasty to to you it’s because you have been proven to be disrespectful. I willingly give respect but once it’s proven you have none — well, I don’t go high — I can sink just as low as you can.

    I'm trying to find a single thing you've stated here that is correct. So far nothing.

    Which means you agree. It's clear you are 100% for censorship of opposing views on these mediums.

    The "internet" is a public space with free logins all over the place for Americans. Twitter, Pintrest, Facebook, YouTube are the modern day town square and here we have Leftists silencing opposing views, because they are Authoritarians that place power and control over freedom of speech, thought, and religion. Why are you Leftists so afraid of Free Speech on the net?

    To quote any number of people on this very site "It's their company, they can decide what to allow and what to block."

    The 14th applies to states and the federal government.
    Not private entities.

    you have no principles do you? if you truly believed in what the 14th stands for you would apply it outside of government
    if there was no laws against murder you wouldn't think murder was wrong
    but like I mentioned before if you use laws to show you right from wrong you have rather low morals

    I have tons of principles.
    Consistency is one of them. Integrity is another. You should look into them.

    It doesn’t matter what I “believe”, it matters what the law says. I am pro-equality.
    Murder takes away from another so of course I believe it is wrong unless that individual has taken the life of another, legality does not have anything to do with my belief.

    I do not base my morals on what is illegal or legal for that matter.

    What's the connection between political views and educational attainment?

    Not a public utility, nor will they ever be. However, this doesn't mean that the government cannot apply pressure to them to get them to change their ways. For example, threaten to classify them as a publisher.

    Educational attainment typically directly correlates with political affiliation as well as religious affiliation.

    Do you believe that Social media should be free to do what it wants without government pressuring them in any way?

    They are private companies. Don't like them don't use them. Ain't that what conservatives say? Or did y'all just turned "socialists" in one thread?

    I don’t normally like to answer a question with another question but...

    Do you believe business should be able to deny service to whoever they please (or any specific groups) without the government pressuring them in any way?

    Now to directly answer your question, I believe that social media is a platform and should be able to set guidelines as they choose for the content they host. They should not be able to “do whatever they want” as some content is illegal. Like the florist thread you are also involved in, I do not believe anyone should have to host another’s speech should they choose not to.

    They are banning groups because of their content that is in violation of their ToS — which is agreed to, not because they belong to a any specific group.
