    I think the righties cheered not having net neutrality. Now they cry for what they cheered for.

    Simply put, I don't think a 'server' should give anyone predominant domain(I think that's the right term) over anyone's "content". Even more simply put, the World Wide Web is a standard that should replicate, as much as possible our actual living experience as it regards our open communication.

    Again, if we have values if we dare to call them values then they must be upheld, no matter the cost or sacrifice. That is how America sustained, but it is also how we're losing ourselves. And I know this might sound hypocritical coming from someone who wants to create an Empire, but my Empire would seek to reflect the heart and spirit, therefore the value of our nation.

    Today, we reflect neither heart nor spirit. We are an empty corpse, our would be political leaders complaining about the throne our framers built, while trashing it all the same.

    Remember. The current conservative narrative is that judges are swamp creatures because none of them overturned the election. So this result fits easily within their current narrative.

    Exactly.

    You pointed out the obvious ambiguity in the post that you responded to.

    A company owns that server. Just like a company owns a gas station.

    Oh definitely.

    Trump always liked to play the Crybaby Victim Card.

    Apparently, some people just don't understand how companies work?

    You wouldn't be making that argument if Liberal views were silenced by predominately conservative server owners. If certain views(again, denouncing all forms of radicalism, extremism, hatred and bigotry) are to be silenced in the favor of another then we as a whole had the wrong idea of thinking of it as a social market virtual place. We should therefore sue Mark Zuckerburg for false advertisement for example lol.

    You do realize that Amazon had a SIGNED CONTRACT that required Amazon to give Parler at least 30 days notice before kicking them off. This was clearly a breach of contract and clear collusion by Parler's competitors.... the clearest example of oligarchy I have ever seen. If you support capitalism, you do not support monopolies murdering their competition by breaching contracts AT THE EXACT MOMENT THAT THEIR COMPETITOR GAINED MILLIONS OF NEW USERS.

    Amazon is not required to give 30 days notice. They can immediately terminate the contract.

    EXCEPT, that Wouldn't Happen.

    Beause the reality of the situation is that people who control these servers are (for lack of a better term) Non-RW.

    And, they are perfectly within their rights to keep Violent Domestic Terrorists from using these sites as a planning (and staging) mechanism.

    Perhaps the Portland riots were spontaneous, rather than organised.

    Question. When Parler comes back up on new hardware NOT dependent on big tech, should they be allowed to compete? Would you support new FCC rules that outlaw Parler?

    I did not recall "batching" about conservatives it was reported that the followers of the FPT moved to PARLER since that segment of FPT supporters were upset that Fox Network was not crazy enough in supporting the FPT 's lies. You see the FPT is not a conservative it never was a conservative it had donated to things like Hillary. The move to Parler. seemed to coincide with Fox calling Arizona early which surprised a lot of us. The FTP is not conservative or liberal it is a fascist cult leader .

    Save the morality lesson...

    "Twitter allowed public calls to hang Vice President Mike Pence to trend on its platform Saturday morning just hours after the account for President Trump was permanently suspended for inciting violence."

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost...ike-pence-to-trend-hours-after-trump-ban/amp/

    It was NEVER about violence; that's just the excuse to limit the opposing view.

    If it was, Twitter would be an empty place.

    So what? There are sites on the internet that sell drugs, weapons, explosives, child porn, stolen credit cards, stolen passwords, etc.
    You shut down one platform and another one will emerge. There are apps out there that can access the dark web. You shut down a platform where people can over exaggerate their feeling with graphic statements and these people will find home somewhere on the dark web, where sellers of illegal weapons can use them as a new customer base. You cause a very bad rift!

    "The Court rejects any suggestion that the public interest favors requiring [Amazon Web Services] to host the incendiary speech that the record shows some of Parler's users have engaged in," Rothstein wrote on Thursday. "At this stage, on the showing made thus far, neither the public interest nor the balance of equities favors granting an injunction in this case."


    Seems pretty cut and dried!

    People really need to think carefully before trying to silence voices in the media. Neither Fox "News" nor MSNBC should be shut down.
    Should that facist DJT have been allowed to shut down Wash Post just because Wash Post told the truth about him, the facist cult leader?
    No DJT nor any POTUS should ever be given the green light to shut down the free press. At this point in time Fox. Etwork especially certain Fox opinionators are pro facist. They love the FPT and who knows maybe they would have loved Hitler or Mousilini if those two Turds were "American". Know knows maybe Fox Network just loves people who can trace their heritage to the Land of Nazis.

    The Trump Administration was opposed to net neutrality.

    Trump renominates the Verizon lobbyist, Agit Pai as chairman.

    Reversing the Obama administration’s net neutrality policy was the only goal.

    The big cable monopolies want to turn the internet into cable TV, with its high pricing and convoluted packaging.

    The Trump Administration was on board with that.

    Now, you’re arguing out of the other side of your Maga mouth!

    Typical, And not surprising at all.

    But then, the talk radio low information crowd didn’t even understand the concept until Twitter labeled their fuhrer as the liar the world already knew he was.
