This ignorant troll will say anything to rile up her low-info voters. I don't think she's stupid enough to believe what she said is actually true, but she's definitely stupid enough to not realize the harm caused by encouraging other idiots to think this way.
It’s interesting that the platforms can assert and protect the First Amendment rights of their users while simultaneously exercising the ability to censor them.
If you actually understand the First Amendment it's really not that interesting at all.
“Our election integrity policy prohibits content advancing false claims that widespread fraud, errors or glitches changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, if it does not provide sufficient context”
How is being on the Jan. 6 committee's actual YouTube channel not enough context?! This shows their problem is not bias, just plain old incompetence.
Your use of “woke ideologues” is the same as “things I don’t like” so it’s a useless term for anyone not sharing your very unique worldview.
It is literally all he has, so he repeats it over and over ad nauseam. This is not an intelligent or thoughtful position, it's one of ignorance and dogmatism.
When I point out that Facebook and Twitter are engaging in viewpoint-based censorship...
They're not, they're engaging in shareholder-based maximization of profits by kicking off the people whose behavior dissuades others from participating, i.e. assholes.
...the woke ideologues here tell me that this is OK because private companies have a 1st Amendment right to moderate as they wish (which they do).
So what's your point? We know they're allowed to do that and we would criticise them for it if they did.
Naturally, woke ideologues speak out of the other side of their mouth when the viewpoint-based censorship censors their views.
Your strawman argument isn't nearly as clever as you think.
That’s pregnant women, not pregnant “people”. Only women can be pregnant.
You're a bigoted, hateful old man who wastes an enormous amount of energy shitting on others. I would guess that trans people have little to no actual impact on your life, so your expressions of hatred are not for any benefit other than your enjoyment and to massage your sense of (over-)entitlement. Get a better life.
Also, as a private company, Meta is totally within its rights to ban abortion talk from its internal employee discussion groups. Why do you see this as a problem worth calling out?
They're totally within their rights to do a shitty thing and everyone else is totally within their rights to criticize them for doing a shitty thing. You're the last person who should be telling others to shut up and stop complaining.
...people who don’t want there to be other views...
This is a stupid strawman. You can have all the different views you want, but don't expect not to get called on them if enacting those views results in the victimization, suffering and death of others.
Everything is on a spectrum and everyone varies in their degree of enthusiasm for the cause, but if you think liberals are currently displaying the same levels of ignorance, bigotry and hatred as conservatives then you haven't been paying attention.
Twitter and Facebook do not sell this access to public communication… which in some ways makes it all worse. Because they do not sell it, they give it away for free and withhold it based on standards all their own.
Wow, you really hate the concept of privately owned property.
Those who can’t buy something they want legally, either make it, or buy it illegally from someone else who made it.
This claim doesn't hold water. The Uvalde shooter tried and failed to purchase a gun when he was underage. So instead he just... waited. Some people will turn to illegal sources and some won't. This is not an all or nothing issue, reducing gun availability will reduce shootings.
...there are prominent politicians who are pushing that very thing.
There may well be a statistically insignificant number of politicians who claim to want all guns banned, but that number is so small and their effect on the conversation so limited that it's disingenuous on your part to mention it like it's an actual threat.

Benghazi, amirite?!

I think we're all a little bit dumber from having read that...
I'm well aware they exist thanks, but that's very different to being "one of the most common firearms in the country."
