I could create a website and delete any comments I don't like. Many websites do. It's not unAmerican if I do it, nor is it unAmerican if Facebook does it. I would detest the possibility of government censure of my website or of Facebook's.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoFacebook is not 'a website'. Its a hosting service for lots of collaborative websites. Clearly debatable whether its more like an ISP than a publisher.
- insickness 10y agoSo you think the government should regulate speech on Facebook. Google too? How about Hacker News? Where exactly are you drawing the line?
- Sacho 10y agoNot every action by a country must be taken by the government. Being un-American is in fact something that the government must tolerate under the First Amendment. However, if you believe that American culture and values creates a good society, and that freedom of speech is a cornerstone of that culture and values, then you can use your freedom of association to boycott Facebook for being un-American.
- insickness 10y agoI'm not talking about boycott. Boycott all you want. He said that the government should censure Facebook. He's dead wrong. Can't even believe I'm having this argument on here.
