Biden's lead in PA now over 27k, I see a couple of people saying that networks will call it at 35k, but that is yet to be seen.

This is the same logic and reasoning people used when the government took sweeping surveillance changes with "well, if you aren't doing anything wrong then who cares if the government is recording everything you do!" :rip:

Doesn't make it right for them to take away our civil rights to do so though.

Sorry, but banning doesn't have to be the end goal for all those things. Suspend and flag? Definitely, but not outright ban. It also should be case-by-case.

Part of living in a free and democratic society is that some people are going to be ignorant, bigoted, and hateful, and spew their ignorant views. It sucks, but it is what it is and every country has people like that. When it escalates into violence that's different and becomes criminal, but the courts deal with that. Not corporations :awkney:

 

I want to remind everyone that if a progressive (maybe democratic socialist?)  and a libertarian agree on this one we are probably right. 

Is this where I put the snarky RIP emoji? Someone instruct me.

When people bring up stuff like this, I point out that there are government remedies we have for social media being run by a handful of monopolies because of the Metcalfe effect.

But, it doesn’t involve controlling what the social media companies can and can not ban. I don’t want to be in a world where GGD admins are legally compelled to, for example, not ban people for being obnoxious Katy Perry stans.

The solution involves the Sherman Act and seeing how we can break up Twitter and Facebook so that people can more readily find other platforms to express their views, such as GGD.

Thank you!!

Progressive here. And yea, I'd say we're on much different pages on how we view the government's role and what corporations should be able to do, and even we can agree about this.

A reminder to make sure you're taking screen breaks, getting snacks, and drinking water. We're approaching the light at the end of the tunnel. :hug:

Also, he tried to run for a public office in Florida once so he has hella connections and he has had to issue like 5 different apologies over the past 1 1/2 years for spreading false info about Bernie after being called out. For a while all of his nurse friends were calling him out on his anti-mask bs and he removed them all :bradley:
