Kamala Harris for Pres

[fishonjazz]

Is the Government or owner of the boards policing their message boards? My view again is I do not want the Government to be the oversight on speech.

Eh, I dont especially trust the owner of yahoo any more or less than the government. Anywho, I think the idea of trying to limit the hate and misinformation on social media sites is a good idea. Would it be executed well? Idk. Maybe maybe not. Would good come from it? Idk. Maybe maybe not. I was simply responding to the proposal of the DOJ trying to limit hate and misinformation as being a good proposal. I dont really care who does it if it works tbh.

I do know that some kids commit suicide due to misinformation posted about them (slander related things) and due to hate received from social media posts. I dont like kids killing themselves or even being attacked and hated on so if someone wants to try to do something about that then im all ears.

I know most of you guys are a 1 issue voter (Trump). This would be my 1 issue:

Silence speech. This is crazy. Government oversight on speech. Yeah no thanks, ever.

I agree. If you take a pledge to uphold the constitution, you should probably not be proposing ideas that are blatantly unconstitutional.

It's become a trend among politicians in general to ignore the First Amendment when it comes to social media. The legislature in Utah recently passed a law that would essentially ban minors from using social media, period, while requiring adults to verify their age through uploading an ID or some other means.

In any case, I expect none of this will amount to anything because I don't think any of these social media censorings will survive in court.

I might start to like her if CNN, ABC, MSNBC, CBS, and the rest of the propaganda media all turned on her.

I get the feeling that those who subscribe to this as "dictator ****" legitimately have no idea what "dictator ****" really is.

I'm not following on this too closely.

Is this the government asking for social media companies to implement and execute on their own TOS? I'm not a lawyer but it may not trigger First Amendment protections. Nobody is inherently entitled to free speech anywhere at all times. You're not entitled to protest on private property. Isn't social media space online basically the same thing? In my mind, the government asking companies to police their platforms is not the same as prosecuting individuals for what they've said. The latter is the protection offered by the First Amendment.

That said,

I think a revision or re-interpretation of the First Amendment of sorts is needed to govern social media platforms. Some sort of online public square provision so that people can have their speech protected on these platforms. Entrusting policing to corporations is going end badly either way.

Eh, 1A is fine as it is to prevent government overreach into individual thought. That said, every "right" has reasonable limits and 1A does not apply to private platforms anyway.

Revision or re-interpretation of the First Amendment isn't a thing that is going to happen, but lucky for your point of view, it isn't necessary. A revision or re-interpretation of Section 230 will do what you are proposing.

What a stupid reason to like someone.

Some real sheep behavior right there.

I said "might" dumbass and it was obviously a joke. Funny though because those channels are precisely the reason you hate Trump you brainwashed dip ****.

He needs to be embarrassed to remove the stranglehold he has over the Republican party. Otherwise we'll continue with more of the same for years to come.

This is the truth. If you’re a conservative and *actually care* about traditional conservative values or policy, then you should vote for Democrats until Trump and Trumpism has been defeated. There’s nothing conservative about the activist Supreme Court that Trump has created. There’s nothing conservative in bowing to Russia and China and aspiring to be autocratic. There’s nothing conservative in blowing up the deficit so rich billionaires get to pay a little less in taxes. There’s nothing conservative about ignoring norms and laws to serve one’s self or cronies.

This is what Trump and the GOP have become. So if you care about preserving our democracy so that conservativsm can take root once again, you really need to vote for Democrats.
