I would LOVE to see Trump back on Twitter just to read his Insane ramblings and Conspiracy theories!
Biden isn't as funny.

I don't like Obama one bit but he's 100 percent right.

Cmon people...the FCC is still monitoring network TV and radio for curse words and most nudity!!!...


And some are shocked that MORE censorship is being proposed? LOL


Why have we tolerated what the FCC has done, for many decades now? The big bad F word is not as powerful as it was back in the 80s or 90s people, but the guys at the FCC are behaving like we are living in the 1400s!


If we tolerate this kind of censorship, why would we suddenly oppose new censorship? Overall, majority of people will likely just accept it and learn to live with it, they may whine and cry a little at first, but thats about all they will do.


Here is a real shocker...I dont think Ive seen 3 people in total that cannot believe the FCC still monitors tv and radio...is that crazy or what?! (we have come to accept and tolerate it)

Nearly 6 decades to be clear... Republicans empowered the FCC to define and censor obscenity, indecency, and profanity.

What’s wrong with that?
The lax standards are part of why kids are so screwed up now. The garbage they are exposed to on TV is melting their brains.

The Bill of Rights proscribes actions that the government cannot do against its citizens. It does not proscribe actions between private parties. If the government owned Facebook, then the First Amendment would apply.

Most people here are simply don't believe me when I say that the biggest thing leaders try to do is control information cuz I get no rep points on those posts. What we need is better management and control of these companies but then you're going to see political pressure against them from outside forces forcing them to censor their content.

The power of the authoritarian forces is simply too strong to allow totally uncensored social media networks to go unchecked worldwide. Obviously it's a balancing act like many above have said Republicans advocated censorship in the past for what they believe to be good reasons.

Many want the internet to be a politically-correct echo-chamber, there to amplify what
they believe and support.

They can censor, they can "cancel", they can put people on "lists", they can spin, they can try to silence those they don't want heard, but eventually, "The Truth will Out". Everytime. If not on Twitter of Facebook it will be revealed somewhere else.

You have to wonder what he and his fellow elitists are so afraid of.
