Glad you found a dictionary.

Glad you are glad.

It is a still BS claim. Go ahead and cling to your literal, inaccurate opinion.

Amusing, why yes, I think I will continue to take the dictionaries word over yours as to what various words mean.

McCarthyism

Democrats say many of them abuse monopoly power. What now?

Not sure how Amazon or Facebook is a monopoly… but let’s say Dems break up Facebook… cons cheer! Libs cheer!

Facebook is forced to sell off Instagram and WhatsApp.

How does this change Facebook moderation?

Don’t recall claiming it would.

Good lord…
Comparing government actions to a capitalistic company’s actions.

Looks like you will never get it.

Someone needs to read up on McCarthyism.

Blacklists[edit]

On November 25, 1947, the day after the House of Representatives approved citations of contempt for the Hollywood Ten, Eric Johnston, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, issued a press release on behalf of the heads of the major studios that came to be referred to as the Waldorf Statement. This statement announced the firing of the Hollywood Ten and stated: “We will not knowingly employ a Communist or a member of any party or group which advocates the overthrow of the government of the United States…” This marked the beginning of the Hollywood blacklist. In spite of the fact that hundreds would be denied employment, the studios, producers, and other employers did not publicly admit that a blacklist existed.

At this time, private loyalty-review boards and anti-communist investigators began to appear to fill a growing demand among certain industries to certify that their employees were above reproach. Companies that were concerned about the sensitivity of their business, or which, like the entertainment industry, felt particularly vulnerable to public opinion made use of these private services. For a fee, these teams would investigate employees and question them about their politics and affiliations.

Tell me how it feels to become something you were always taught to hate?

Nice to see people who support Communism and are anti-corporation and anti-landlord have some compassion for large tech companies. Glad they had a change of heart!

Does this mean that componies can be religious and support pro-life and anti-LGBT stuff, like Chick Fil A? I recommend that the people who talked smack about Chick Fil A for that march right over to their local store and apologize profusely.

A free market includes opportunities for smaller companies to have a chance. We don’t support monopolies. As I have said in years past, a tiny bit of regulation is a good thing.

That’s the weird part of this–yeah, as if it’s about not being able to quote Bill Buckley or advocate for lower taxation. As I understand it, Apple and Amazon want Parler needs to be moderated like, gee, I dunno, this site.

As I never tire of pointing out, during the First Great Parler Exodus I thought it would be funny to sign up for an account and literally the first thing I saw was a woman masturbating with a knife and I had to take a nice long walk outside after that.

Oh…oh my. That seems like that would hurt. A lot.

MeWe isn’t all that different though. Someone said the N-word. I didn’t want to think that word was still socially acceptable. I thought, that, as a society, we were generally past such barbarianism.

Their generic ass chicken sandwiches aren’t worth all that.

Then I’m going to need a new chicken joint…

Citizen’s United filed the complaint that the law was unConstitutional. Obama’s FEC blocked the freedom of expression. Are you sure the DNC didn’t spur the FEC?

There was a bipartisan law against what citizens United was trying to do. So it seems like Obama’s FEC was following the law and conservatives didn’t like it.

Yes, they didn’t like an unConstitutional law when it was enforced against them to protect Clinton. That’s kinda how the SCOTUS works.

@FreeAndClear

We discussed this before i think. I don’t have one to be honest. It’s a very thin line between censorship, spying on speech and preventing violence.

Razor thin. Like most attempts on the Bill of Rights.

Interesting how this keeps popping up.

Yeah remember how those conservative justice you’re so invested in repealed McCain-Feingold but only for corporations and 501 nonprofits, claimed that they would revisit the case to extend it to actual people and it’s been ten years and they never did?

No. I don’t care about that. The SCOTUS said they would “revisit”? I’d like to see that please.
