On the post: It Can Always Get Dumber: Trump Sues Facebook, Twitter & YouTube, Claiming His Own Government Violated The Constitution

Snarter

So, you think it's dumb to fight for Free Speech? Could you get dumber? Why on Earth would you support totalitarian practices? Because Trump?

That's your reason? You are right about one thing: you could always get more dumber.

What else will you snark about? When all of your friends and associates are de-platormed because some social network decided that you and your buddies are also issuing "disinformation"?

When you lose your platform will you keep snarking to the neighboring table at the Starbucks (because you will have nowhere else any longer to snark)?

Will you ever stop writing stupid articles that celebrate fascism? Can you get even dumber?

On the post: Supreme Court Rejects Another Questionable Qualified Immunity Decision By An Appeals Court

One Thing

If the guy had not resisted, the guy would not have been restrained. Who's fault is that? The guy's.

Do not resist arrest and detainment. Live to see another day.

Without qualified immunity there is no law and order.

If we are going to cancel qualified immunity, cancel it for all judges, prosecutors, politicians and do it immediately. As it is now these cretins enjoy super immunity from law suits, yet quite a few of them are screaming like hysterics for the removal of qualified immunity from the cops.

Why would anyone go into law enforcement, if they can be sued at any time by anybody?

The answer is: nobody would.

There you go: be careful of what you wish for. You just might get it.

Meanwhile, do not resist being arrested or detained.

Death

It's a shame to witness the death of America via this trial and sentence. The entire world is watching the once land of blind justice collapse in on itself.

Anyone who could believe that the trial was just? Already the other defendants have brought evidence that the prosecutors and even the AG brought illegal pressure to bear on the coroner to change his report (or be replaced....this is documented).

That's fair to you? The world is watching and they aren't so blind. Two-tiered justice capped by mob rule. That's what America now looks like.

Congratulations. You could be writing a different column. But you just don't think it will happen to you one day.

What are you pushing for a long past due change to this censorship anti-American madness?

Complain about Rubio less, be constructive more.

On the post: Creating State Action Via Antitrust Law And Making The People Who've Been Wrong About The Constitutionality Of Content Moderation Suddenly Right

restless94110 ( profile ), 29 Jun, 2021 @ 07:22pm

Wrong?

"They complain that what these platforms are doing to their posts must somehow be violating their First Amendment rights—and they are completely and utterly wrong on that point."

No they aren't. These monopolies have taken the place of the Common Square and must now be treated just like the phone company is. They have no Free Speech rights at all.

Just because that does not happen to be the way it is this minute doesn't mean you need to write non-stop about how Jordan and Gaetz are " utterly" wrong.

You should instead be writing about how utterly right they are and what steps we all should be taking to move these monopolies to the status of public utility.

You are letting your prejudice cloud your writing.

On the post: Florida Steps Up To Defend Its Unconstitutional Social Media Law And It's Every Bit As Terrible As You'd Imagine

restless94110 ( profile ), 28 Jun, 2021 @ 12:43pm

Failure

When you write: "Governor Ron DeSantis' war on imagined anti-conservative bias" this is so obviously deluded that everything you wrote after and even everything you wrote before, immediately fails.

What is the point of reading the work of someone who thinks that anti-conservative bias and censorship is "imagined." So it was people's imagination that the top conservative in the United States was de-platformed? Are you an escaped inmate from a decayed mental institution or do you just play one on TV?

I mean what is the point is writing as you do? Does anyone believe a word you say?

On the post: Former Trump Lawyer Facing Sanctions In Michigan Now Saying The Things She Said Were Opinions Are Actually Facts

restless94110 ( profile ), 22 Jun, 2021 @ 10:18am

Errors

Former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell -- last seen being sued by a voting machine maker after making (and filing) a bunch of baseless claims about a "stolen" election -- is headed to Detroit, Michigan. There will be some more Michigan-focused courtroom action, but it won't be Powell playing offense.

1.Powell was not Trump's lawyer former or current.

Powell was last seen on video at a recent convention predicting the decertification of Joe Biden by August.
The claims are not baseless. There are mountains of proof.
The election wasn't "stolen". The election was instead stolen.
Patience,little locust. You have no idea at all what role Powell will be playing, but my money is on her going on offense.

Dominion can not bear examination of their machines. This is a gigantic bluff on their part and you fell for it. Remind me to play poker with you. You are so easily led astray by your TDS.

On the post: Data Analysis Shows That Trump's Messages Still Received Tons Of Attention; Though His Disinformation Doesn't Travel As Far

restless94110 ( profile ), 09 Jun, 2021 @ 01:59pm

Disinfo

The term disinformation is an insult to the intelligence of any human. It is nothing more and nothing less than an excuse for censorship.

If you don't think what someone says is true? Then don't listen to it! It's not disinformation. It's simply a different point of view.

Big Brother is coming for Tech Dirt, too. Soon, you too will be accused of spreading disinformation.

Instead of acceding to it (because Trump)? You should be fighting it tooth and nail. They will come for you next.

Disinformation is a term used by totalitarians to suppress freedom of speech and expression. It is the death knell of a free society, an innovative society. The lifeblood of a dynamic society is the freedom to speak "disinformation" at any and all times.

Bizarre

What is bizarrely ignorant is anyone who would not be in favor of bringing tech totalitarian censorship to justice. Maybe almost as bizarrely ignorant as anyone who would write an article in favor of totalitarianism.

On the post: First Legal Challenge To Florida's Unconstitutional Social Media Moderation Law Has Been Filed

restless94110 ( profile ), 28 May, 2021 @ 09:32am

The first few sentences

In the first few sentences of the complaint, the fools claim the Act infringes on the ability of the tech monopolies' editorial judgment. Meaning they are admitting they are a publisher. Meaning 230 protection should be immediately revoked for all tech totalitarian monopolies. Oopsie.

If the schoolmarm dictators at big Tech were smart they'd lobby for public utility status and fire all moderators. Farmers need a lot of workers and so do chicken processing plants. All the insane modulators/monitors whatever the devils are calling themselves this week can go find useful work picking grapes and oranges.

However, if the tech monopolies want to continue to exercise editorial judgment? Great. No more 230 and then they can be sued into eternity by all of the Americans they've harmed by their un-American anti-Free Speech actions.

The idiocy of big tech censorship was illustrated perfectly this past week when Facebook had to stop banning the Wuhan lab theory of COVID. Logical and scientific thought is full of theories to be considered, not censored. I hope they win. Then let the lawsuits flood in. Can't wait.

Machines

Hey Sport,

How about stop using machines at all?

Paper ballots, hand counted in front of observers at each precinct. That's the way they do it in other countries, like England.

Elections should never be done with "machines," which have been shown over and over and over again to be easily hackable. Why are the techies at Tech Dirt not aware of this fact?

it beggars belief.

On the post: Violent, Bigoted Cop Accused Of Beating Another Cop Is Upset His Text Messages Expose Him As A Violent Bigot

restless94110 ( profile ), 21 May, 2021 @ 06:31am

Well Done

The cop's lawyers are correct and their objections should prevail.

What a person says in private has nothing to do with the trial: only their actions should be judged.

Furthermore, a cop using the n-word, the same word that black people use 10 times a day means nothing. If blacks can use the word, so can others including cops.

Moreover, what the cop said is obviously true: A corrupt black-supremacist DA is not prosecuting violent crimes, which are committed most of them by black people (vastly out of proportion to their population). You just don't like the way he said what was true in his eyes and the eyes of most people.

You apparently think that if someone's speech is not polite according to your sensibilities, it should be prohibited and/or used to pillory the speaker, the opposite of the principle of Free Speech.

You are letting your emotions cloud your thinking. If the cop broke the law, convict him of breaking the law and punish him. Don't convict him on his speech.

On the post: New York Police Union Tells NYPD End Of Qualified Immunity Will Force Officers To… Act Lawfully

restless94110 ( profile ), 13 May, 2021 @ 08:26am

Most Likely

It's far more likely that the removal of qualified immunity defense will not cause police to "act legally" but instead simply cause few if any to want to be cops.

With that protection removed, anyone can sue any cop for any reason....and they surely will. Every cop will become mired in multiple law suits, some of which may succeed, most of which probably will not.

It won't matter though. Policing as an occupation will be dead. Who on earth would want to work a job where they can be sued all day and all night for anything at any time?

You seem to believe that qualified immunity, the concept, is solely in place so the cops can do illegal things. That's not what it's there for. You'll find out. Soon enough. Keep on with this madness. Reap the whirlwind.

Dis and dis and dat

So this prof was discredited and disgraced, eh? Looks like he was MeToo'ed after talking positively about Kavanaugh's frame up. So then he was framed.

Since when is he disgraced? How is he discredited? Looks like he may have hit on a student. So what? Who cares? Why is this the framing for a story on Big Tech monopoly and censorship?

The issue is the totalitarianism, not if some hetero dude said something to some people about some things.

On the post: Basecamp Bans Politics, An Act That Itself Is Political

restless94110 ( profile ), 30 Apr, 2021 @ 12:36pm

No Reason

What a breath of fresh air for a company to ban social justice banshees from the company. The business of Bandcamp is music not who has the correct political beliefs. He should have gone farther. All the people doing their social justice idiocy should have been let go.

Replaced by people who want to work, not monitor others. Such a great development. We can only hope that all companies dismantle all of the Diversity Departments immediately. I know. Those employees will have to go back to being Starbucks baristas, where they belong.

The next step would be cutting all HR departments by 90 percent. Or 99 percent. They are utterly useless and serve no positive purpose. Perhaps the ones that are cut can become farm workers thus obviating the need to have illegals come in to do jobs Americans won't do.

We an only hope and pray that this is a trend that will take over all American companies.

Breathtaking. Truly astonishing. In all my days, I never thought I'd witness such a flow from another human being in America.

On the post: The Other George Floyd Story: How Media Freedom Led To Conviction In His Killer's Trial

restless94110 ( profile ), 24 Apr, 2021 @ 09:15am

Astonishing

Uh, Chauvin did not murder anyone. At the trial the other angle was shown in full that clearly shows there was no knee on Floyd's neck. The autopsy shows no evidence whatsoever of murder. It's difficult to understand how anyone who watched even a small part of the trial could write this nonsense.I

t looks pretty clear the trial will be thrown out on appeal, so the only thing that changed, history-wise, was the justice system was corrupted and policing weakened, which will (and already has) lead to thousands of violent deaths in black communities all over the US.

Saying

So Dominion is "Definitely" not saying what Dominion is saying? Huh?
Why is Dominion saying anything if no one is saying what has been said about Dominion for the past 10 years?

Why would a corrupt company supported by ignorant fools think they could sue anyone when they have already been revealed for years to be corrupt?

Why would TechDirt support these corrupt corporations? It makes no sense. Why would you want to go with this?

It's astonishing.

It does not matter What Hawley agrees or disagrees with. The totalitarian, censoring, anti-American companies should be broken up because they censor views.

Censorship (aka moderation) is a double-edged sword that you don't see coming for you. Soon you will be wishing the Josh Hawley had succeeded. They coming for you, matey.
