RE: What so many people get wrong about 'freedom of speech' in America

in #america5 years ago

When social media users violate their listed rules, that is not politics.

Because more people on the right, many who cloak hate in their 'politics', have been banned does not make it a political action by fb.

It is nice to try to frame it that way, if it suits you, but the reality is when someone builds ANYTHING and owns it, they have a right to ask me to follow the rules or leave.

I'm not sure you're reading my posts. I can literally point you to COUNTLESS hateful posts by the left, far more than anything on the right....it's not even close. These posts on the left don't get flagged by these social media platforms automatically. They ALWAYS have to be brought to their attention publicly before they act. The mysterious algorithm they always blame only seems to target one political side, over and over again.
What I said was, there are NO clear rules. They make their rules completely subjective so they can discriminate against conservative views.
We're literally seeing fascist groups like antifa pretend they're anti-fascist while spewing the most hate filled rhetoric about destroying anyone who even asks a question they disagree with. That's literally fascism and these sites ignore most of it.
You have Al Sharpton, one of the most racist people on the planet...right up there with the KKK, who still has not been banned. I could list about 3 dozen more off the top of my head.
It's illegal to discriminate against anyone for race, political view point, gender or sexual orientation. Have rules is fine. But you can't have 1 set of rules for one group, and not enforce them for another.
I can't open a restaurant and say I'm only going to only serve white people...then try to claim it's ok because I'm a private business.
I can have rules for behavior, but those rules can't be applied differently based on my political views, race, etc. I feel like I'm repeating myself, but apparently you're just not understanding.
