Yeah - in the context of this discussion
If a one private corporation can filter content on their network why can’t another?

I don't think I do that, but maybe so.

Idk, I'm not exactly drawn to threads where I agree with the consensus. Posting +1 or upvoting is boring.

Unless he's in court, then his lawyer says that "no reasonable person would believe what he says" and that his show is "opinion masquerading as fact". (This was just last week.)

They need to decide if they are a publisher or a platform, obviously none of you have followed the court decisions in regards to this. If they want to censor or play favorites they can but then they are legally responsible for ALL content on their site as a publisher.

I think there is a difference between saying this is shitty behavior and saying you want government intervention like some of those in here. Invoking constitutional protections like free speech is also dumb considering the context.

None of that changes the fact it is a sketch decision.

As usual, you missed the point.

He said ISPs can't censor, but facebook/youtube can, and that's the same thing. Except it's not, because ISPs are utilities, and fb/yt are not.

Glad you're caught up now!

Zero issue them blocking him. Also zero issue with anyone refusing to do business with another, outside of unique circumstances.

I hope you're donating your brain after your inevitable resignation. Is it a chemical imbalance that makes you a fricking idiot? Underdeveloped brain components? CTE? Drug abuse? Brainwash?

They can?
So why'd you say they couldn't filter content?
Content is filtered on this very board every day

Feel free to repeat this as many times as you like. It won’t rehabilitate the irrelevance of it.

I think the confusion is coming from your phrasing, or rather their reading of it:

quote:

Unless you’re an ISP... then you have no rights to filter content.


I believe they're reading this as you claiming that only ISPs have the right to filter content.

I thought “all traffic was to be treated equal”. At least that’s what the net neutrality proponents said.

That's odd, because I just visited bing.com and it still works.
