Not to mention, censorship is antithetical to who we are as a country so it shouldn’t be excused in such a cavalier manner.
Not really. Pamphleteers, newspapers, and printing presses have never had an obligation to print all viewpoints.
We give the government the monopoly on violence to enforce its decisions so we prevent it from making decisions on what ideas can and cannot be put into the marketplace of ideas.

Are you arguing I should be able to go into my local grocery store with a loudspeaker and rant and rave about politics on the milk aisle and the store has no recourse to remove me?
Wtf? Lol. That’s patently ridiculous not is it even censorship. Clearly you don’t understand the difference between censorship and standards.
Are you arguing that a grocery store should refuse service to gays?

I had one political post deleted.
I went to far and I was in the wrong.
I had a post on the SEC rant deleted which was not bad.
It was in regards to the 2010 Auburn National Championship team where Auburn fans had to endure tens of thousands of posts about cheating and the NCAA was coming.
In 2011 or 12 the NCAA finally came out and said there was no cheating and the season will stand. The auburn fans who rushed to the SEC rant got our posts deleted.

I go back and forth on whether immutable characteristics of a person should be the basis of discrimination by private entities that enjoy public resources to function.
Should we add political viewpoints as a protected class so I can go give my sermons in the milk aisle?

Does the business model of a grocery store include political speech in the aisle? Does the store have a history of serving as a soapbox for political ideas?
If so then your ridiculous analogy may hold water. Until then you are coming across as extremely illogical.

Comparing a grocery store to a web forum and text to decibels are two terrible examples.

Of course you do. Consistency on the matter undermines your political views and ceases to further your agenda.

As a conservative advocating for this ‘censorship doesn’t apply to private businesses’ is just sharpening the blade that liberals will ultimately use to castrate you.

I figured you guys would pounce on the loudspeaker I added for hyperbolic effect.
But let’s change it since you want to harp on the business model.
Do I have a right to post up in the milk aisle and sell my homemade candles?
Or can the owner of the store control who he allows to sell and what he sells in his store?

And I’d argue conservatives abandoning free market principles and private property rights in the name of expediency because “it’s hard to build our own internet infrastructure and platforms” are being lazy by asking the government to intervene.
You’re going to end up with a federal Department of Social Media Standards if you’re not careful. Or pull 230 and see “censorship” like you’ve never imagined.

My views are consistent. Immutable, inherent characteristics like race or sex or sexuality can be treated differently than elective political expression by private actors who benefit from the use of public resources to function.
That’s the situation right now, minus sexuality. Give me your argument to change to status quo to add political viewpoint as a protected class.

We have guidelines. Follow them.

I would not call it censorship but rather helping assholes not betray themselves. By the way, assholes should not be a banable word as it adequately describes a human being without describing their gender, race, nationality, religion, or even reference to lgbtqwxz

Your post was probably reported by several people who were "offended" and so it got removed. I accidently hit the Options word under a post one time and there is a drop down list of reasons to report your post your to Admin, like personal attack, etc..
I would imagine it gets abused by the snowflakes...

I agree. Without a doubt

And they’re protected by section 230!

Can I peruse the aisles with my dick out & not be arrested? Any comparison of brick and mortar to Internet is ridiculous. As I type this I’m not wearing a mask. See?
