Send your@6 year old kid to the liquor to get a bottle of booze and see what happens.
When I go to get liquor I always wear a shirt and shoes...just no pants! The sign doesn't require pants!

Start your own Facebook.
You have it backwards. Keep your property as YOUR property, and you can do anything you want with it.

If you accept help from the Government (AKA The People), then you are giving up your property rights. You now belong to the people.

I am telling FB, Twitter, and whoever else to reclaim their property! Leave the government out of it! Reclaim your property and do whatever you like with it!

Really, so the people can enter your house or drive your car because the government built roads or required sewer systems?



You accept help from the government. The government protects you from competition from those without medical degrees. Should this effect your rights? How should it?

The fact is government is involved in every damn area of our lives. You can't help but being both a beneficiary and a tool of government.

If you believe the state should own the people that's the definition of a fascist.

It's funny how so many will defend the right and complain that such a move by Facebook is a violation of their rights and censorship of the conservatives. Facebook is social "media", as is Twitter.

Trump went to war with the media. He has openly berated and pretty much told the media that should be gone. It's an ongoing battle, and this is another move in the media war with Trump. He's allowed this to happen by totally separating himself from the media.

Facebook has every right to do what they choose, and you either stay on Facebook or leave it if you don't like it.

Send your 16 year old kid to the liquor to get a bottle of booze and see what happens.

Those are health code and underage drinking laws. They apply to everybody and every business, not just those you disagree with on religion or race. Try opening your liquor store and refusing to sell to a 25 year old with ID cause you only believe 30 year olds and older should be able to buy liquor. Or refuse to sell to a black man of legal age cause you dont think people of color should be able to drink alcohol. Then you are discriminating.

?
The government can take my house if I dont pay property taxes on it. People are allowed to walk on the sidewalk in front of my home, even though it is technically my property. People are allowed to walk along my beach at my beach house, even though it is technically my property. There are all sorts of conditions where I have to bend to the government on my own property. Thankfully the people have not demanded entry to my home or car. That is not something I think most of the people would be for, since it would apply to them as well.

I agree. We do not know.

I do know from various screenshots that Parler does allow violent threats so perhaps they will take that group there as well.

This isn’t a free country so I don’t know why anyone is even discussing this.
Just accept what it is and move on.

Now you went and added the bolded. Not sure if you want to go there. That protection is there for YOU. Not for me. I would be fine competing with those without medical degrees. I live in a wealthy area, where people are educated. They ask about credentials all the time around here, and they are willing to pay more for the best of the best.

BTW, the government does have requirements of me. I have to accept medicare patients even though I get a lower rate for them.

How about this, the government can protect me from law suits like they do these companies. That would be something! In 25 years I have not had a single law suit (knock wood), and I still have to pay over $30k a year in malpractice insurance. There would be no need for that if the government would afford me the same protections it affords FB.
