That's actually an interesting point.. with starlink not far from mainstream availability it will certainly keep the larger providers at bay (assuming starlink isn't compromised as well) The isp in idaho is like fighting fire with spaghetti.

so your way of fighting censorship is well.....censorship?

Level the playing field. Make them rethink what they are doing. You can't just censor half the country and let that be the new norm.

Not a violation of the First Amendment, and I'm not a customer, so I don't care.

Their ad looks like it was designed 40 years ago.

Don't like Facebook and Twitter, use a different company. Don't like your T1Wifi, use a different company. That's how the free market works.

The idea is to speed up the process so that the tree of liberty can be refreshed.



bro how fricking stupid are you?

the tree of liberty is not being refreshed adn we are not going into civil war. Are you willing to sacrifice your wife and kids, everything you own....because that is what would happen.

all you stupid fricks who havent seen a day of combat and never been in a fight in your life....now want to refresh the tree of liberty?? You are stupid frick.

I dont like what is happening but IM not sacrficing my hole life for some bullshite.


and bottom line is facebook, twitter, apple, google etc are all private companies. its very anti conservative and anti freedom to try and control with the government what products they offer.

you dumbasses stand on no real values. its insane and yall flip flop as much as liberals....because at your heart and core, you are a liberal in the sense you want the government involved, just want them involved in your pet projects.

Exactly. The parler stuff is different and there are actual arguments there about unfair business practices, especially with Apple IMO. But if a website wants to ban me that's their business. I'm not going to make a federal case out of it. It's just a damn website.

You could argue that Twitter and Facebook are unfairly protected under Article 230, while not illegal, it is a legal issue. Further access only perpetuates legal problems.

Comcast is a private company that has a significantly different set of federal policies to align to compared to a Wal-Mart.

It isn't "un-conservative" to seek equality and fairness with regards to legal application and responsibilities.

Theoretically this is correct. But there are 2 different parties playing by different rules.

Neither had most of the men who fought in the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the War on Terror. They were citizen soldiers.

What exactly is your point?
