I think Sean Hannity is annoying - but I do love Diamond and Silk. I attach this article because I love this video.

These ladies testified to Congress today about how Facebook censored them. I think It’s a legitimate federal issue, and preserving free speech should be one of our highest priorities.

The line of questioning by Democrat (cough commmunist) seeks to shame them because they wanted to make money off their videos.

When he tells Diamond that “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” she responds “Mmmhuh. They hard too.” I love that woman. I want to hang out and drink cocktails with her.

Hannity LINK with video

Absolutely shameful that they deployed the CBC as the attack dogs on Diamond and Silk. However, D&S gave it back to them ten fold. Especially enjoyed the exchange with Sheila Jackson Lee....and Gohmert telling her "the Gentle Lady's time is up" repeatedly.

I don't know how they didn't start their reply with, "Aw, HAYELL Naw!" because I would have at that point.

Can someone explain to me why they think a private company censoring speech is a federal issue?

Eta: or to really stoke the downvotes- can someone explain to me how any company can violate their customers free speech rights?

Not owned by the govt...


Can anyone explain why a publicly traded company censoring someone is a federal issue, much less a violation of someones rights?

Facebook receives immunity under the Communications Act because they claim to be a neutral public forum. If they are they can’t censor people for political speech or they are breaking the law. If they want to censor they certainly have the right to, they just need to announce they are not a neutral public forum, but as of now they are in violation of the law if they do it.

So if Chicken decides to ban all liberals, you think he's liable to lose a lawsuit in court?

Hank Johnson needs to go back to his Guam investigation and island stability. Just goes to show you the mental deficiencies the people of Georgia have to keep electing this clown.

Isn’t the left pushing the whole Russian interference scandal because of some ads on Facebook? Apparently Facebook influences elections. If they influence elections, censorship of alternative views may be a big deal.

Facebook does business in all 50’states, and around the world making it subject to legislation by Congress pursuant to the commerce clause. Per Federal Law, they are potentially a public forum. I’m not saying under existing statutory or constitutional law that there is a clear answer to whether what Facebook has probably done to conservative commentators is illegal, but I think it is within
Congress’s authority, if not constitutional duties to determine whether such conduct (by Facebook or other social media outlets) SHOULD be illegal. I usually believe congressional hearings are grandstanding bullshite, but in this case they may actually be helpful in determining whether statutory protections SHOULD be enacted.

Moreover, public accommodation laws already protect against racial, sexual and religious discrimination. Should there be protection regarding political discrimination that can be enacted statutorily?

Those are important federal questions, or in other words federal “issues” that should be evaluated by congress.

Another prime example of how racist liberals are. They can’t stand to see black people actually think for themselves

cant have your cake and eat it to and that is what they have been attempting.

Facebook has to decide if it is a free open forum which recieves immunity or not.

Personaally I think they should be treated as a utility just as ISP's should.
