- colordrops 8y agoMaybe you should explain why it is not applicable, rather than persist in loquacious but insubstantial contradiction. I am stating an opinion of how a company that claims to greatly value free speech should operate. To simply state that I am wrong without any reasoning behind it is a waste of everyone's time.
- tomlock 8y agoBecause free speech legislation focuses almost entirely on government intervention. Which is a point I made immediately after you condescended to me about America's legal system.
- colordrops 8y agoAnd here's the direct evidence that you are intentionally misunderstanding me. I said absolutely nothing about government intervention on social media platforms.
- tomlock 8y agoAnd I never said you were talking about government intervention on social media platforms. >And after that "massive amount of thought" there was no legal restriction put on companies that "deplatform" users like Alex Jones. Go figure.
