Laura Loomer banned from Twitter after criticizing Ilhan Omar

Same point, same broad platform.

 

once you allow private people to control free speech, there is no more free speech.
This is the case in the US with tweeter, google, facebook and so on.
Anybody who does not conform with their political agenda is banned.
The problem is that they claim as if they are impartial and have rules, while the only rule is 'follow my political guidance or you are banned'.

 

The rule is that there is no free speech in private business. They have TOS if you want to use their product.

 

No you are missing the point by a few light years as there is nothing special about twitter that would stop anyone else for offering such a service to the public assuming that a meaningful part of the public is unhappy with Twitter just as there is nothing special about newspapers that would limit the public to any one newspaper.

 

I "get" that free speech MUST be protected in the NPS.

A tragedy that so many DON'T "get" it.

 

No.

And this is how the Constitution is destroyed.

 

The New Public Square is public.

Free speech MUST be protected there.

 

See my previous replies.

 

You, Antiduopolist, can reply all you want, but there is no New Public Square as you believe that is going to be regulated by the government as you want.

Won't happen because it does not exist.

 

So what. They could still remove that account if it breaches its house rules.

 

I doubt that.

 

I'm not employed by you, so go look it up yourself.

 

There is, and it must be a place where free speech is honored.

It does, and it must be.

 

Omar is from Ethiopia or something, where female mutilation happens, a lot (ethnicity, national origin). She also is Muslim (religious affiliation). And Loomer made a comment that she supports Sharia law, and supports female mutilation.

He called himself an anti-termite. You claim he was harassing himself? Sounds impossible.
And I didn't know termites got a religion or something.

It's not. Hence it's on par with calling yourself an anti-termite.

 

Nonsense as most of Trump posts would had been removed and the account close if he was not President.

Yes they do indeed have the right to do so but from their statements on the subject due to his position they are not going to exercise that right.

 

I guess this is a default white flag from you. I expected more. I am just going to assume you don't have a rebuttal that makes sense. Not surprised.

 

You're in no position if they are going to suspend it or not if that account would break house rules.

 

The heck it is. You got no argument because you do not know what you're talking about. Hence you want me to look it up. lol

 

Once more they do not need to follow any rule as it up to them and their judgments and even whim an no one else one way or another.

 

I doubt it. Go ask Trump how a had accept a reporter because lack of process.

 

rum

Trump is the head of government and is not private owners such as the Twitter owners.

Once he is no longer President he will be free to kicked anyone out of Trump tower at his whim.

 

She didn't say anything to warrant being suspended or banned. If she did produce it.

 

Did Loomer attack her on the basis of being from Ethiopia? Did she even MENTION Ethiopia?

Did Loomer attack her on the basis of being a Muslim? Whether or not it is true that she supports Sharia law, how is saying that someone supports it being anti-Muslim? And she questioned a bill that would've made genital mutilation a felony even though she eventually support it in the end. So Loomer was inaccurate to say that she supports it, but again, how is saying that someone supports it being anti-Muslim? This is just insane!

You must be one of those people who claim that if you direct ANY insult towards a woman, black person or gay person, it is sexist, racist and homophobic! So you would fit in well at Twitter!

Yeah, nice try. Use your brain. What do you suppose he was saying there?

You think that Twitter falls under Public Accommodation laws like food stores and bakeries? Surely you can't be serious.

 

Jew ARE Semitic! How can Semitic people be anti-Semitic?

 

Tell that to the so called 'Libertarian' Gary Johnson who believes that Jewish bakers should have to bake cakes for Nazi's!
