    You don't seem to be able to tell the difference between profanity and truth speaking, and I'm not surprised.

    Of course owners can have rules against profanity. Can you have rational and adult conversations?

    The utter lack of constitutional understanding is dumbfounding. They can’t even grasp the meaning of the words as written in the first amendment.

    You make such good comparisons! Having honest conversations and telling your boss to get screwed fall into the same class of speech in your crazy world. :roll:

    You need to make up your mind...

    I asked this..Does the coffee shop have the right to regulate what you say in their shop?

    and you replied with this...

    Not in a country devoted to freedom and liberty.

    Rules against profanity would be the very definition of regulating what is said.

    Let’s take it a step more adult then.

    Next time your employer decides to change a process, vehemently disagree with it. Tell them what’s wrong with it and why you feels so. Let me know how that goes for your career.

    My mind is made up. You are a dishonest poster. Or just a poor reader. A poor reader and one unable to ask meaningful questions. Good luck.

    This is a poorly written article, and I don't know that the author's conclusions are even correct. Note the citation from Blum v. Varetsky:
    "a State normally can be held responsible for a private decision only when it has exercised coercive power or has provided such significant encouragement, either overt or covert, that the choice must in law be deemed to be that of the State”

    This suggests the possibility of the State of Massachusetts, not Twitter, being held liable for the deleted tweets. If it is ruled that the state, "exercised coercive power," over the company, I don't know why that would necessarily result in a penalization of the company, because of a decision for which the state would, "be held responsible." This is clearly a situation which calls for a LEGAL interpretation, & the writer of your article from djhj media definitely does not seem to be a lawyer. If this is such a bombshell of importance to you, I suggest you would be well-served to find legal opinions online, which I would imagine should be a simple matter, for such an important case.

    I accept your surrender. I asked a simple, honest question to which you gave what seemed to be an honest answer. Now your only recourse is to attack me.
    That says a lot about one of us.

    So, if somebody were to post something to facebook that resulted a claim of defamation, could not Facebook be held liable for hosting such speech?

    If not, then they are protected by the Section 230 that they are simply "the public square and the statements belong to the poster".

    And if that's the case, they are no longer "private" and subject to the ability to filter content they don't like or agree with. Once they do that, now they are "Private" and subject to the defamation suit.

    Can't have it both ways.

    Don't be silly. When Russians use Facebook and other social media to influence an election where Trump wins, spending trillions of dollars in investigations and upheaval by the left is justified.

    But allow the left wing social media giants filter information affecting the outcome and "no problem".

    Take away the 230 protections what would happen is that every site like this one and FB and all the rest would end instant viewing of things posted and have a approval process before anything was made public.

    How much time would you spend here if your post took an hour to show up and the replies to them too another hour to show up?

    I agree, they cannot. They're going to have to choose which road they want to go down. My point in this thread is just that, being that it is their space, they get to determine what can be there and what cannot. And that either way, it has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

    Then they probably shouldn't filter at all.

    The utter lack of ability to read the case law citations cited in the OP is dumbfounding. They can't even grasp the meaning of clearly cited precedent.

    Censorship coordinated with elected censorious scum is constitutionally forbidden State Action.

    Further, the First Amendment is by no means the limits on our People's deep commitment to free speech and expression. These idiot vile Social Media companies have done our society great harm and we have every right seek redress and regulation of their destructive madness:

    Why Has “Ivermectin” Become a Dirty Word?
    They're resorting to force is an admission that they enjoy no relationship equity with the American People, well, you evil bastards, do not think that we are helpless and without recourse.

    As Twitter, Facebook, and Google have admitted to conspiring and colluding on who to ban and with their market share, they comprise a monopoly status and have put themselves in the cross-hairs with their predatory actions and collusion. If they weren't they didn't blindly carry the Establishment propaganda while exiling those that have other views, they may be safe, but they don't. They need the every loving freedom slap by our courts.
