A private company can censor whatever they want, right?
Trump wants to make burning an American flag a crime and carry jail time.
He isn’t a free speech hero.

I noticed you never defend free speech in entire time on this board…why is that?
This is a lie.
I am for section 230 and net neutrality.
Kamala Harris.
“And the bottom line is that you can’t say that you have one rule for Facebook and you have a different rule for Twitter. The same rule has to apply, which is that there has to be a responsibility that is placed on these social media sites to understand their power… They are speaking to millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation. And that has to stop.”
Voting for Harris you’re voting censorship and violating first Amendment.

Cannot? Or do you mean
“They do it, but they should not, and should be thrown out of office because they do it anyway.”
Meta was perfectly it’s rights to tell the government to pound sand and continue to allow for disinformation to spread on their platform.
Yes I agree.
Zuckerber’s rights were violated.
so were yours.
The Constitution prohibits your government from using their budget, their time, their power, and their office to squelch free speech.
Note the Constitution does not read
“Any and all attempts to censor speech are allowed unless you put someone in jail. Anything short of jailing someone is 100% allowed.”
Same deal with the constitutional rights you do like.
EX The Whitehouse cannot push Facebook to refuse to hire black people.
If the WH did that, Facebook could still tell the Whitehouse to go pound sand. does not make it legal, does not make it right, does not make it Consitutitional.
How? The government is well within it’s rights to make requests.
Meta is well within it’s rights to tell the government to pound sand.
I seriously don’t understand the poor little rich boy routine tha Zuckerberg is going for here. He created a platform that is in part responsible for mass violence on the Rohingya people. One would think that he would have some part of his brain that would feel a bit of responsibility for that and maybe be more careful going forward… but laying in a pile of money washes all of that away and makes one a sociopath I guess.

By that idiotic and anti-American logic
the government is “well within its rights” have rights)
- to tell banks “Don’t give loans to black people.”
- to tell computer companies “Don’t hire gays”
and - to tell teachers “Go to Catholic Churches, dont go to Protestant churches and don’t stay home”
Wow. You really really really don’t seem to care about the Constitution. Who the hell were your teachers?

In what world do you live in that the Government is neutral on public health messaging?
When has this ever been true?
The fact that you have to make up illegal situations to make it seem that it is exactly like spreading misinformation about a pandemic shows just how stupid this complaint is.
“(D)addy has rights dammit!”

It wasn’t Neutral on public health messaging.
some doctors said “The vaccine is a real vaccine it prevents transmission.”
Others said “No it is not a vaccine. It doe not prevent transmission. It only reduces symptoms if and when you get COVID.”
The Whitehouse decided Galileo must be silenced.
(fortunately real Americans ere in the Whitehouse when dissenting scientists said
“Thalidomide is not safe it causes birth defects”
“DDT is not safe if kills bird populations.”
“The Ford Pino is unsafe. It blows up on impact.”
.

Oh and the WH censorship was not limited to silencing science regarding COVID. According to Mark Zuckerberg it also including pressuring them to silence speech about the Hunter Biden laptop and sweetheart deals energy companies gave Hunter Biden.
Back in those days the left was the champion of free speech.
