- Retric 1y agoNo, compelled speech falls under free speech. You can kick people off a platform because you disagree with them. They can even demonetize people for perfectly legal activities. So, legally YouTube is fine, politically things are different.

- FireBeyond 1y agoPrecisely, these platforms are settling specifically because this president openly looks to punish and hold grudges and have vendettas against whom he sees, and describes, as his enemies. This is a matter of Google saying "he can do more than $25M of damage to us if we keep fighting this".
- Fairburn 1y agoKick rocks. Pres. Bonespurs was a civi at the time and a full-on pos that deserved to be kicked off.
- scuff3d 1y agoNot when that president incites a terrorist attack against the US government...
- lenkite 1y agoYou mean the one in which there were 275 federal agents - some of which who were extremely fit and masked people who broke open windows, urging people to get in. Also hit and shoved away the unmasked protestors who asked them what the hell they were doing ?
- cosmicgadget 1y agoYou're saying Trump was voted out so the FBI(?) tried to stop the count. And then the Biden DOJ decided not to prosecute them? Seems plausible.
- scuff3d 1y agoPeople are really living in their own reality these days. Don't know how we get back to any level of sanity when a non-trivial portion of the population is this detached from reality. Sadly this is also why no matter how corrupt Trump gets, his base won't abandon him. The God Emperor can do no wrong.
