Why is the ISP "cuck" for not wanting to house a white supremacy site? Would you lease office space or a store front in your strip mall to Daily Stormer?
I don't see it as the same thing, we are talking about a difference in things that are abstract vs. concrete.
The internet is replacing actual libraries,as the keepers of information,ideas,etc..
I think there is a responsibility to make all ideas available,even if you object to it.
People should be able to read for themselves and decide what is right or wrong.
If you deny people the ability to do that, you will unwittingly create ideas that are misinformed and crazier than anything you were protecting yourself against.

So you're cool with the government forcing bakeries to bake cakes for gay weddings?
That is such a strawman argument.
Should AT&T be able to drop phone service to groups they don't agree with? What about Entergy? What about water and sewage?
Comparing that to a small mom and pop bakery with limited reach and resources is willful ignorance.

Replace the railroads with Google, and Teddy Roosevelt with Trump (I can dream, can't I?)

You want the internet regulated like public utilities?

Gov't entity so doesn't fit.

Comparing government compulsion of private entities is ignorant and a "straw man"?

So all it took was a business denying access to Daily Stormer and Stormfront to turn a bunch of small government, anti-regulatory conservatives into big gov regulationists!

And for a bunch of liberals to turn into defenders of wise, woke big data and their Democrat donor CEOs. The times are a-changin' that's for sure.

Sure - you and they are hypocrites.

Oh I didn't realize I was engaging with a Lolbertarian. I try to avoid doing that as much as possible.

If you think about it, I am for the opposite.
The internet should be unregulated and above political pressure from anyone,untouchable.

Which is why I'm against NN. Title II is overkill.

So what's your problem with the private business refusing service?
Posted on 9/3/17 at 10:57 am to cwill
Are ISPs truly private? I bet they suck on that government teat hard

If it's "truly private" you're OK with it?

Because their reason for censoring service is linked to political ideas.
hey.drop them if they don't pay their bill,whatever,but if you drop them based on what they believe,you are headed down a dangerous path.

Where are our libertarian friends when we need them?

What's your solution for businesses owners acting on their personal beliefs?

they are silent about ACTUAL censorship.
ISP doesn't want to do business with them. Just like the bakers with the cakes. Both should get to decide who they transact with.
This is first day Conservatism 101 stuff.
