Do you believe social media should not be able to moderate their own product?

Do you believe someone outside of their purview should control how they moderate their own product?

Should the government be involved?

What sliding scale should be implemented as far as the moderation? IE, where is the arbitrary line drawn by the outside moderators?

Do you realize how ridiculous it would be to support something like this?

Yes. I think they should be able to moderate their own product with the obvious caveat that since they wish to do this, congress needs to remove the immunity congress gave them when it was assumed they would NOT.

Only insofar as stated in two responses up in this post.

I don't believe in govt moderation.

Yes.

Now that you're done with your incorrect assumptions, carry on.

I do not have the time, nor the inclination to search the web for all this crap so, if anyone knows, thanks for helping out.

1. First lawsuit was brought by the commission based on complaint (think it is same person who complained). Supreme Court says no and sends back and that ends that.

2. Another complaint to Commission and they sue again. Baker countersues and they agree to go their own way.

3. THIS CLUSTER!. Is this a private suit by heshe or is this another complaint to the commission and they sued?

I cannot imagine the commission getting involved in anything forcing the baker to make a cake.

If private, I am not sure there are grounds for satan making cakes. Also, this would be frivilous and subject both the person and the lawyer to sanctions (assume this will be moved to federal court).

If this is the commission, let me know. I find that very hard to believe. And, if not the commission, does heshe have any standing?

Congress assumed they wouldn't moderate their products?

So after answering all of those questions, you basically agree with my message.

You simply hate the messenger

I believe these two suits were both filed by the same guy.

Well, the argument goes that these sites needed immunity from being sued because of shite posted on their platforms. IE, they basically took the position of, "hey man, that's just people posting.......WE aren't associated with their shite".

No.

You see, the baker, or anyone really saying, "hey, I don't want to CREATE something on your behalf" is quite obviously different than simply being an online platform. It's absurd to even pretend to not see that.

However, even with that obvious difference, I'm very fundamentally against govt agencies "moderating" because those agencies, over time, almost certainly would make YouTube, Facebook and all the others look like overt freedom lovers.

My simple caveat on these platform is that RIGHT NOW, they have it both ways. They are saying, "hey, we are moderating this shite because we don't want to be a part of its propagation"............."but we shouldn't be able get sued over shite that IS propagated on our sites because we can't help it".

Nope. They can't have both. They need to pick one. Either they can't help it, so stop fricking moderating.......or you can........so the govt needs to eliminate their protection.

This is really all solved by removing the immunity these platforms have.

I guarantee you that they stop moderating with A frickING QUICKNESS if you remove their immunity.

Because they let a LOT of shite get posted right now that would have them literally BATHING in lawsuits.

Frankly, I like them having their immunity. But, if they're going to misuse it, take it back.

Should Facebook not be allowed to have its own terms of service? Should Facebook be forced to host every single thing that's uploaded onto its site? Just because they are a "platform", it doesn't mean they can't moderate it

Is TD a platform or a publisher?

If evaluating the ones banned, or shadow banned, show all to be of one general ideology..like conservatism..then its not a "sliding scale" of unbiased moderation, it's targeted censorship.
Don't you agree?

Who's in charge of determining that?

What ideology is spam?

What ideology is porn?

What ideology is selling firearms?

Like I said. They can. But, if their position is that they can and will police up content on their site, then congress needs to remove their protection.

They gotta pick one and trust me, they WILL FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL to prevent that.

I can't speak intelligently to TD's status legally in terms of what I post.

If TD can be sued for what I post, then, TD should quite obviously have every right to decide what it allows to get posted.

HOWEVER, if legally speaking, TD CANNOT be sued for what I post, then TD should probably be careful about purely ideological moderation.

For the purposes of this discussion, you shouldn't focus on what Facebook or Twitter block. You should look at what they CONTINUE to allow that they almost certainly would have to police up in a non-immune environment.

Interestingly, I think their argument FOR immunity is correct. I think them having to ACTUALLY police up their shite is likely a beyond monumental task and an unreasonable one at that.

Alas, it's not my fault they seem intent on steering their dicks under their feet.

Perfect way to put the two together. The root of the issues come from Satan.

You're missing the point again.

Whatever stance on issues that are most commonly associated with a liberal/left ideology or an conservative/right ideology there are, and only one sides standing on those issues is banned, then it's not moderating it's censoring.

What don't you understand about this observation??

What protection? I just told you they have tons of lawsuits against them right now

What crime, in your mind, are they guilty of?

Let's say they are doing that.. What's the crime? Wouldn't that mean the bakers are censoring?

Because I think the bakers shouldn't have to be involved with spreading ideas or symbols etc that they don't want to

It's a fundamental, consistent ideology
