TikTok used to be one of the few big platforms that didn't censor Israel criticism, though that has changed since Trump imperially overrode the law and unbanned them. It's insane the levels of 1st amendment violation and corruption that is OK now.
- dylan604 1y agoFirst amendment violations have always been accepted as long as they were inline with current administration. Since the administration has changed, so has the direction of those violations which just makes it appear like it is new now.
- _heimdall 1y agoAny one company moderating speech isn't a first amendment violation though. The first amendment is entirely focused on the right to sleek freely without risk of government intervention, it says nothing of private corporation interventions.
- guelo 1y agoThe point is Trump extorted Tiktok into censoring speech he doesn't like in exchange for unbannig them.
- guappa 1y agoIf the government is telling companies what to do, how do you claim there's no government intervention? Do you also think it's impossible to convict anyone for murder because it was the bullet killing the victim, not the person holding the gun?
