The left has found a loophole in our constitutional right to free speech that allows them to use it as a tool for violating the spirit, intent and moral philosophy behind the concept of free speech. And they certainly are pleased with themselves over it. Nothing more satisfying to an authoritarian than being able to use people's rights as the means of their suppression.
Ironically this shows us why the 1st amendment is so important in the first place. They've shown us what they will do with a loophole, imagine what they would do if the amendment wasn't there at all. And keep in mind it is not only the 1st amendment they will use this tactic with. Eternal vigilance is the only path towards maintaining liberty.
lol but like example of cnn more **** they preach less people listen/watch like cnn. i mean nobody watches that channel not because news is boring but cnn news was boring for years now and people don't listen to. same with facebook people have it just for family talk rest of facebook nobody cares. same with twitter what is twitter most trafficed tweets world cup , champions league nba nfl mlb all sports
It is fascinating how Obama constantly attacks conservative media, but has only good things to say about liberal media.
His latest comments are a jab at Elon Musk for trying to bring some balance to the content of Twitter. That is what this is really about.
Obama is a liberal. It would be fascinating if he did the opposite. I don't see Trump saying anything good about the liberal media.
I don't look at twitter any differently than the old letters to the editor in newspapers back in the day. The newspapers could pick and choose which voices could be heard. They could easily make it seem a certain issue is something the public was either for or against by which letters they published. Is that censorship? No of course not.
I am fine with Musk controlling twitter and changing how its run.
Everyone seems to forget but I think it was his first inauguration speech that he wanted to 'transform' things. That's a little more than address the issues facing the nation. Never forgot that word 'transform' because free speech is one of the many things he wants to 'transform'.
Both parties are filled with hypocrites. With voters who are also hypocrites. I am fine with the colorado bakery saying no to making a gay cake. I am fine with twitter setting the rules at their private business.
Lets just stop trying to weaponize government to take on our political enemies. We need a very small federal government like the founding fathers envisioned who just does what the voters demand it to do.
We have a former president who is actively trying to increase censorship and shut down free expression in the digital public square. We warned you!
No, that is not what Obama is doing. The first amendment does not apply to social media. This is not debatable. For example, you are not allowed to say anything you want on this site, right? This site does allow misinformation but it has- a TOS that, if violated, can get you banned. Do you want the government taking over social media?
I saw recently that marijuana legalization is twice as popular among the electorate than the sitting president. Won't be done though. Nothing voters want get done.
