People voting for trump.
- Avicebron 6y agoAnd not people advocating mass censorship on communication platforms? Please, you're biases are showing and it's embarrassing.
- ryeights 6y agoI think you missed the irony in GP's comment
- kennywinker 6y agoYou can't have it both ways. Either facebook/twitter/instagram are common-carrier public squares, or they are private corporations. If they are private corps, they can block whatever they want. If they are common carriers, they can't censor people, but they will also have to open up their platforms to competition and submit to more government oversight to allow for fair and equal access.
- Avicebron 6y agoI see no issue with the second option. Do you have an argument against that?
- kennywinker 6y agoNope. I'm for it. But you can't get upset about social media "censorship" without calling for these companies to be treated as common carrier / public squares and I see a lot of the former and not a lot of the latter. I suspect because gov. regulation of enterprise is traditionally opposed by the same right wing that is currently upset about social media censorship.
