    Sure they would and sure they can!! Of course I would not frequent such a place but the mods can do whatever they want. It's their site.

    Private businesses can, in fact, "censor" what gets said on their property.

    good point, and I agree they could, but do not think they would

    would be nice to think our politicians would follow the rules though

    Being a conservative on Twitter is more like being a conservative at the Democratic Underground website than being one here.

    so should fox have to give dems equal air time, let anyone speak on their platform? say anything they want?

    it's the advertisers that really control big sites, as if they go, they make no money

    How so? Be specific?

    We had social media banning conservatives for mentioning COVID facts that they disagreed with, yet you can hold a bloody severed Trump head in a photo and it's all good with the Big Tech degenerates.

    So much wrong in one post. Kathy Griffith did not post the picture yet she was largely "cancelled" anyway. And lies are not facts.

    If the owner of this forum kicks you out, is he violating the constitution?

    Those are the people getting kicked off of social media. Conspiracy nuts. Doesn't matter what nutty conspiracy you try to push, they are basically all the same.

    No, but this forum is not controlling the total content of the Internet. These big tech giants are controlling content. They pose as something they are not.

    There are competitors to Facebook and Twitter.

    If more people use those two, it's because they're better.

    It's called the law of the market.

    Parler was in negotiations with Trump, but he wanted the site to systematically ban anyone who criticized him.

    The owners of Parler refused.

    So I guess for you, Parler is now part of the great Big Tech conspiracy.

    Amazon and Googje still censor them. Parler? It's kind of odd that you mentioned that. Besides, you don't know what you're talking about.

    And not only on social media. In social media they operate mildly sophisticated bot nets that can eventually be detected and defeated, we've seen the purges. A more comprehensive spreading of divisive propaganda is also occurring in traditional media and entertainment where foreign interests (China) have amassed significant control and wield it to create ideological and cultural wars that we fight for them.

    Yea that's just the thing though, you don't have to be a devoted user of social media to be impacted by it. I don't use FB, Twitter, Insta, or any other of the more 'social' types of social media and I use Reddit but just for hobbies. Still I can be a victim of social media's massive control and if you read the three scenarios I posed you'd understand you can be as well. You can be the the victim of information suppression, you can be the victim of a data leak, you can be the victim of the mob that will use social to trend an attack on you, and any of these things can happen regardless of your engagement level.

    Dude, you could be out at the grocery store tonight and innocently bump into someone and you say 'oh I'm sorry sir' but, uh oh, turns out they're a trans and they get trigger and angrily fire back 'ITS MA'AM !~!~!@~~~~' and someone nearby whips out their phone and records it and then this happens...



    Of course this parody was based on first wave cancel culture, now we're in second wave cancel culture where they don't just want you fired, they want you dead... I dare you to visit this link https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo and scroll through, witness the THOUSANDS of photos and videos of far-left progressive violence. Just the other day a pack of progressives 5-on-1'ed a Korean man and literally stomped on his back and neck. There's a photo I tried to find but this tablet is too slow, I'll keep looking, of an enraged thugging Black Supremacist mid air about 4 feet up about to land his boot in the neck of this beaten Korean guy who's down on the ground. The reason they went after him? He didn't think men should be showing their junk to preteen girls in a women's spa. ANTIFA and BLM spread his photo on social and within hours the mob showed up and searched for him. That's the power of social media man, that's what needs to be heavily regulated.

    Conspiracy nuts are all the same?
    So that would include the Conspiracy nuts that claimed
    The Covington Catholic kids were white supremist
    Kavanaugh was an alcoholic high school serial rapist
    Melania Trump was a hooker
    The cop at the Capital was killed with a fire extinguisher
    Trump supporters killed 5 people at the capital
    Trump supporters took down the American flag at the capital and raised a Trump flag

    Yup, there are a bunch of them out there.

    Poppycock - these are Oligopolies - and should be treated as such - having a monopoly free speech at the moment .. give head a shake and get those corn kernels out of your brain.
