? please explain. Anti-Trust is a well established executive responsibility and is clearly well within constitutional authority based on SCOTUS precedent.


so do you really think this or is this just your kneejerk hatetrump nonsense?

Fantastic reply!

I can't do anything about natural law. It is therefore it is. You joined at birth...unlike the fictional social contract you adhere to.

Bad news brother, you're in the cult whether you like it or not. I don't like it a lot of the time myself only because the ends aren't always beneficial to me. I'd love to cut corners and get more for less but simply creating a fictional deity to do that doesn't make it so.

The poster you're quoting didn't say anything about anti-trust law.

Cruz also didn't say anything about anti-trust law. That was BentBow's weird, non-factual interpretation of what was happening.

Cruz is arguing about the CDA, and he's wrong. (Like, not just slightly wrong, or wrong about details, or wrong about interpretation, but literally making up legal gibberish)

That is because some cannot equate legal language, with what the terms mean.

Must remain neutral and then not remaining neutral, is anti-trust, especially under the TOS agreements as stated.

The guy that has a stellar history arguing in front of the Supreme Court. He could be wrong....

You're the one I'm talking to.

But no, I don't see where Cruz has a case. I think he's just stirring up his base because he's worried about O'Rourke.

Keep in mind that Cruz no longer makes a living by arguing cases, he makes a living by attracting voters.

Those companies have a whole lot of money but the US Govt has a whole lot more and 10,000 attorneys just waiting to make their life miserable and expensive.

The US Govt may be in the wrong but they have bankrupted many people and companies defending themselves against charges.

I'm the messenger and you argue with me? OK, I can waste your time.
Why not argue with the law instead of being anecdotal.
We could try listing the facts, instead.

If you're so adept at legal language, show me the language in the CDA that supports Cruz's position.

LOL what? The TOS agreement?

This just keeps getting wilder.

First it was the CDA, then it was anti-trust, and now we're on TOS agreements? Lemme guess, next you're going to try and claim they're all the same thing?

Ted Cruz has argued in front of the Supreme Court 9 times, and only won twice. That's not a stellar history.

But it's not really relevant, is it? You're perfectly capable of reading the CDA for yourself and making your own decisions about what it says, rather than outsourcing your mental faculties to Ted Cruz.

Kudos to conservatives who stand true to conservative principles and call for Trump to butt out. For those other conservatives who think Trump should have any input on what private corporations can do with their products, please pick up your red, black, and white armbands at the service counter.

Be neutral and unbiased, or get sued for content.

Senator Ted Cruz grilled three social media leaders/liars about their censorship of conservative voices, which they deny doing. Spokespersons from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube claim there is no censorship but recent videos released by undercover reporter James O’Keefe prove otherwise.
This is as Mark Zuckerberg announced he will up the censorship, making it much harder to find companies on Facebook.
There is no question that all three censor conservative content, but they lied. They ban the malicious content, said the Twitter executive, which the left thinks covers all conservatives.
The Twitter executive said the company down-ranks a user for “engaging in targeted abuse against minorities,” which covers people who don’t want open borders, unlimited refugee immigration, the importing of terrorists.
Social media platforms should be able to choose what content they promote. If you don't like it, Breitbart, InfoWars, and Fox are all out there promoting conservative viewpoints.
