Do you defend CNN pressuring cable companies to not carry Fox News? Because they are doing just that. 

Why would I defend that?  Honestly, I don’t think people should watch CNN or Fox News.

As long as they do so evenly to both sides, that's fine.  When they start making the rules up as they go along or favoring one side or the other it becomes a problem.

Now that is a legit argument and I can’t believe no one has said it yet. There lies the problem. I 100% agree with people who argue that point.

I Googled it and didn't see anything, but what I did see was CNN kicking a reeling Fox's ass in the ratings and Fox losing viewers to nut-right infotainment sources.

Depends on what kind of cake it is. A regular cake? They should have to make it. A gay cake? No. Or a Batman cake if they don’t to either.

Don’t let them censor you like that! Get your guns and march on in guys! You can do it! I’ll be cheering you on watching, you got this.

[Patented Phil 1,315]

So, we have a problem where a bunch of people don’t trust the media, feel isolated and abandoned, and are started to devolve into violence and conspiracy theories. Hey - I got an idea!  Let’s censor them and make them even more extreme!

Baloney. The First Amendment secures the right to free speech, not the platform on which to express it.

Platforms have every right to control what gets spoken through them.

Don't like it? Find another platform or create your own. 

They don't so long as they are operating under the Section 130(number may be wrong) law as a service provider and not a publisher. Now that they clearly want to manage speech, would you agree with me that they should be forced to transition to publisher and be responsible for the people who post there? That law should be enforced. One of my biggest complaints about Trump was how he sat on his ass and did nothing about the way they abused content creators on their platform for his entire time in office and look where it's gotten him. If they do want to be responsible for the content, I have no issue with them censoring whoever they want but they can't have it both ways.

Hearing he wants to make his own Twitter like platform. He could call it Trumper. Not a bad idea really, a lot of people would use it.

[listen2me 23 1,759]

Its funny.  When Trump tweets about upcoming protest and says its going to be wild that means he incited a riot.

When Kamala Harris tweets out a link to help fund bail for violent rioters qho got arrested....that isnt inciting violence and no one cared.

Astonishing how that works.

There are actually plenty of people “arguing” it’s a First Amendment issue

This congressman for example: 

So many right wing focktards don’t understand capitalism or the Constitution

Censorship is the tool of fascism.  Monopolies destroy true capitalism and undermine the Constitution.  But dipshit leftists are just fascist so it is not surprising they support it. 

[RLLD 3,928]

There are other means to get ones voice heard, but unfortunately the leftists have control of the most effective ones.

Exactly. Anomalies like like Trump come and go. Long-term I think the more concerning issue is the Left’s vice-grip on the MSM and social media, and their propensity to favor censorship.

Conservatives are flocking to a new 'free speech' social media app that has started banning liberal users

I only posted the article.  I don't necessarily agree with it.  But its nice to see there's a safe space for repub's and trumpers to go if they want.

They should be doing more of this.

They didn’t ban him for being conservative though. They banned him for violating their terms.

I agree. The problem is one side just cannot handle anything but total lockstep thought. To disagree is hate speech. and right now that side controls the public square.

Very sad and dark times.

It won’t end well. Just a matter of time before the angry group that stormed the Capitol starts storming Twitter, Facebook and CNN.
