[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3497684, member: 5800"] So much to unpack in this one. Again, for the people in the back --- Amazon is not disallowing conservative groups that I've seen. They ARE disallowing groups promoting violence, extremism and, in some cases, demonstrably false narratives. Is censoring legal speech okay? We seem to think so here. I got a warning point for naughty language recently, and the post was edited to change it to -----. That's censoring me. But it's okay to do because that's in the Terms for the site right? Point is, when speech we don't like gets censored people think it's okay, when what they agree with gets censored people get mad. Any private company can censoring it according to their terms. The ones individuals agree to when getting to use the service for free. Side note, remember that anything that is "free" online isn't really the product. YOU are the product, and the service is the sell. Most people who are not fascists --- that's a fancy way to say Antifa. They are Anti-Fascist. It's right in the name. We don't generally like antifa around here. Not "shouting-down" a speaker. Real question --- did you watch the presidential debates? Especially the first. That was nothing but a certain DJT yelling over his opponent and the moderator. Then people here cheered it. See the above point about it's only bad when the other side does it. And finally the baker analogy. Were we to take your point that he was abiding by a protected right, and with consideration that Citizens United said corporations are people, then we cannot deprive corps of their right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Which, in corporate terms, is making tons and tons and tons of cash from the consumer. So those bad censoring services are just practicing their faith (in money). [/QUOTE]
