Then it will be just don't talk at the grocery store, then tailgating, then sporting events, then restaurants. This is how the slippery slope works.
So how many here switched from Facebook to Parler?

All that aside, my point is just that the example in question involves a manipulated video and, given that much, I was curious about how people think FB should handle it.
Personally, I don't have a huge problem with "flagging" a false video if it's not going to be removed. Compare that to practices employed by other social media companies... like HuskerOnline, for example, where individual moderators have a toolkit that basically involves locking conversations, editing / removing content, or doing nothing at all.
How the hell is anyone going to control that? Rip out your god given vocal cords?
I get censored all the time on FB. When I try to post about my ANTIFA propaganda or BLM post they seem to disappear. I never get mad though. I am not a free speech absolutely.
I know. I'm bored. Been stuck in my house for a while do to Covid. I am sorry. I will leave.
Trump is but a man of the people. Jesus is a Good man, Thai you very much Mr Snarky.
Except these platforms receive immunity from the government. They should lose it if they insist on behaving as PUBLISHERS.
Well considering most free thinkers today are conservatives...a huge Right Wing bias
But they don't get the immunity that aggregators get. Huge difference believe it or not. Just Google it.
Im not sure how youre getting the idea he wanted government control of everything out of that.
I am really troubled at how many on our side of the aisle don't get this. It makes sense the totalitarian left would argue for abolishing the arena of ideas, but some on this board have recently contracted "John Roberts" syndrome.
They would rather patriots lose thru fraud than be accused of what Dems are actually guilty of.
OAN,NewsMax, and InfoWars are the only place to get real news after FoxNews has been overrun by the Liberals.
Amen to that. Jesus was about private/personal charity as a spiritual practice. He did NOT advocate for government to supposedly do the same, although maybe it should in ways that don't run counter to the basic tenets it is founded on and constitutionality.
Don't forget Breitbart! I have yet to be convinced that they're a solid need source, and I've been going there for a few years now.
12 months ago, this guy would have stuck out as an obvious troll. In November 2020...not so sure.
Maybe you should think about that example a little more if you're such a devoted follower of Christ. Just a thought.
Before deciding I'm just another commie lib, I'm an Independent but I've voted Republican in almost every presidential election I've been eligible (11 of them). I did vote for Jimmy Carter for reelection because he seemed like a decent man who put the lives of the hostages before his own ego and political career. As a nation we survived the embarrassment. I've voted Republican because I don't want the government and it's bloated bureaucracy in my business any more than necessary.
I think it's un-Christian on the other hand to demonize those we don't agree with and treat them like enemies. If the standard MO of your leader glorifies a lack of respect and compassion I have a serious problem with that. I think many other folks share my opinion.
I'm perplexed why so many seemingly decent Christian people are so devoted to a man who to my eyes is such a poor example of the behavior that I thought Christ tried to teach us.
I'm not worried that the Dems are gonna make us commies. They most likely won't even have control of Congress. If there is a problem take control of the House in 2 years. Use the system without unnecessary threats of violence.
Spare me the conspiracy theories. Maybe the aliens are behind it all. Good enough idea as any.
The fact that the Texas Lt Governor is offering rewards of up to a million dollars for evidence of voter fraud ought to tell you there is very little factual evidence of widespread voter fraud at this point. If real evidence is found let's all see it and go from there.
For profit journalism is a paradox. Similar to for profit religion. You want your journalist and your priest to have the core tenets of the profession in mind when they provide a service. If they put profit first then the journalism and religion is corrupted, manipulated, or propagandized under the belief that profits are worth more than truth. Add in the degeneration of American morality in the name of profits and you get a system where people will ignore the fact they are being propagandized merely for clicks. There are some reliable news sources embedded in corrupted conglomerates. All news comes from corrupted entities but sometimes truth and journalistic integrity persists despite the desire from higher ups for more clicks. I am not a conspiracy guy but you ever wonder why the nation is perfectly split 50/50? Media outlets use algorithms to calculate maximum clicks, interest, and profit. Extreme political ideology drives addictive behavior and pushes people to the extremes of each party, creating a reality where people rarely shift from one side to other. And the algorithms are looking to attract people who have nothing to click. So a centrist, with a college degree, may not have any click bait, but the media is driven to pursue these non-clickers because the others are now zombies. The "split" between parties is manufactured, maybe accidently, just like how Coca Cola vs. Pepsi drives up profits for both.
Even after watching it, it didn't remove context. So you made my point for me. Had they said, " he "misspoke" I buy it. But they claim its manipulated video, which in no way is factual.
Process the words manipulated video. In no way is that statement factual in this case.
Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, an MIT grad who created Email. He said through an algorithm he might have found 69,000 votes switched from Trump to Biden. https://mobile.twitter.com/va_shiva . Not confirmed, but likely will be according to him. He reached out to both President Trump and former vice-president bidens representatives to review the data. Wouldn't be willing to do that with Mr. Bidens representatives he didnt think it was correct.
How many of your alts are in my thread. I count at least 3. (also, how many votes did you cast in the recent election? Less than 30 means you're slipping)

Multitasking. Work, family, listening to communist podcast, try to get children out of cages, trolling tools on random internet sites. I multitask.
Never said he was reputable stop putting words in my mouth. I never even said it was a correct analysis just one of the hundreds of voter fraud allegations that should be looked into. What about all of the affidavits? Democrats have still not accepted the 2016 election results and now the Republicans don't trust 2020s, but its only the Repub that are crazy for looking into it? I spent 3 years of my life hearing nothing other than that Russia ******** that didn't amount to anything. We will see if voter fraud amounts to anything. I hope there was no serious voter fraud. I will always root for free and fair elections. If there was "mass" voter fraud as some would call it, the people responsible need to be held accountable.
“Russia ********” resulted in 34 people being indicted and brought to light clear efforts to influence the election. But I guess that’s not anything right?
Dont offer me your opinion as fact please. I'm not asking anyone to do that for me.
I googled Parler and read the mainstream media reports on it. It appears most of them despise it and are casting doubt about it. That is enough for me to believe it has merit.
