Ok ewv, spin this one into "it's not censorship".....

It is not censorship. Censorship is the opposite of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech means freedom from government intervention, which can only be violated by government action. Private individuals and businesses have no power to violate freedom of speech, only the right of how they use their own property. Freedom of speech includes the right to not support ideas you disagree with. A company choosing how to use its own property is not "censorship".

The growing sloppy use of "censorship" to apply to business action is demagoguery packaging government force with private action It is done as an excuse to impose controls private companies. It is an invalid concept packaging actions with essential differences as if they were the same in order to equivocate on the buried differences

Improper, contradictory word usage to signify invalid concepts is not a basis for discussion of political policy and philosophic principles. Concepts and definitions are not arbitrary. Collective misuse of concepts is not the standard. Collective subjectivism is not objectivity.

The First Amendment does not control private speech and there are no "other laws" making alleged "censorship" illegal for private companies. Control of private businesses and individuals is what the statist populist demagogues want and is why they use invalid concepts to try to put it over.

No he doesn't. Appealing to a lawyer "making a case", let alone for his political end, is not a logical standard, but in this case he did not even disagree with what I wrote in that post about the legal nature of the First Amendment and censorship. He said the companies "should adopt a policy that is more like the actual free speech structure that we have in this country" on "views that are offensive".

That is a mealy-mouthed attempt to promote a populist agenda promoting that companies not have their own standards in the false name of "freedom of speech", but he knows that the First Amendment does not apply to enforce what he wants on private companies. He evades that in his pitch, saying only that he wants "more like" a "speech structure" in which he evades the difference between private and government action.

He also said nothing about your misrepresentation of the previous post. This is not about a CIA plot, which is not an excuse for the conservative demands for government control of private companies.

Imagine companies that the far left did not control banning people because they promote a philosophy, that has wiped out somewhere around 100 million people, called socialism.

Well, as one vid stated "you have to stay engaged with the enemy to fight them". However....

It is censorship but it is not a violation of the First Amendment. The basic concept of “censor” does not mean, only done by the government. But other laws may and most likely have been broken.

No chance of that for me. Facebook is the enemy. I don't willingly support my enemies.

Well, Crowders lawyer would seem to disagree:

No one said that the political and philosophical bias within these company's is a "goofy conspiracy theory". The goofy conspiracy theory was the claim that it has been a CIA plot.

The actions such as this one by Pinterest are not "censorship" and not a violation of freedom of speech under the First Amendment, which pertain to actions by government, not private companies. Anyone can protest this action by Pinterest and similar actions by it and other companies. Conservatives have no right to use government power to demand that the companies comply with their wishes.

These principles are not held by just a "few Gulchers". It has long been recognized even by conservatives that the First Amendment is not an entitlement to have private companies provide the means of expressing oneself.

Ayn Rand's many articles on the relation between property rights and freedom of speech versus censorship were described and linked to at https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...

They never seem to...ever.....:)

AND, has a Go FundME that almost topped out in 1 day.....

Interesting we just had another thread with a few Gulchers who decided that this issue is all a goofy conspiracy, and the companies have everyright to censor people and platforms within theirs, while they still screw the creators on said platform, by raking in the money from clicks and ads....

Zerohedge is also banned fro Facebook, if you post any links to it, it has an good chance you get the dreaded "You post was banned as hatespeech" message.

"Protect ME from upsetting speech, writing, and video content" rather than "I will decide what I want to continue to listen to, read, or view' ,
will result in governmental, organizational, and individual decisions which will end up offending the already offended. Time for everyone to grow into adults and quit being offended.

Do you get the idea some of these Human Resources folks don't have enough to do?

YouTube just removed the original video!

Here is the whistleblower going public on Fox News,

“What is truth? It is whatever we feel it is.”
-A far left “philosopher.”

One translation would be,
“It is whatever we can get away with.”

The whistle blower was just fired.

Interesting that http://zerohedge.com is also considered porn by pinterest. Could not be farther from the truth.
