Then they were wrong.

Then maybe government needs to exercise eminent domain and seize back the public square from the people who purchased it.

Or they can create an actual public square created and run by the government…

They can create an app amd website that lets everyone say anything they want with zero censorship…

Doesnt that solve the problem?

So there is censorship here just a level that you agree with…

Has this board been threatened with congressional action if they don’t censor? Big tech has.

This board is censored enough to satisfy government…

Is government supposed to censor speech? I thought that was prohibited by the first amendment.

You assume too much, Sir.

I will concede the word.

You concede that that would needs to be censored?

I concede that there is censorship. Needs are determined by the owner.

Well, as long as the owner stays with in government approved lines…

[conan]

That’s all find and dandy…but biggest forum advocates for private business censorship didn’t support that baker or wedding photographer rights. Or rights of business who they can hire.

Sure and they can take over the pipes as well.

Or until the government changes the lines.

Well the argument is that the government should be forcing companies to not censor speech on their property…

@vaard

Well the argument is that the government should be forcing companies to not censor speech on their property…

And that it should be forcing them to.

The 1st Amendment does not apply to publically-owned business.

Monopoly laws do…to prevent corporations from becoming the government.

Which is why an actual virtual public square is needed…

It is the perfect solution…

Then private sites are free to censor and do what they want and and anyone that is kicked off is free to go on the government website with no fear of being kicked off…

Already forcing them to censor. See the threats by government I posted earlier.

Not to mention heavy subsidized by our government.

If the Baker taken money from federal government then government that would have been different.

If you’re contractor on government job…you have to hire certain amount of minorities in order to win the bid.

Public accommodation laws infringe on the 1st Amendment rights of business owners.

Exactly…Don’t know why thats so hard to understand. People crying “Freedom of Speech!” No one said you can’t get your message out…Just not at my platform, go find another, or start your own.

I have seen that argument made about the baker too. They always leave out the side they picked, and the side that won. Its like: You can’t argue differently…but we can.

[WuWei]

You pretend gov won’t censor when gov caused the censorship in the first place?

You sound like a wedding cake baker.

Are disturbing the peace laws an infringement of the 1st amendment?
