so a meaningless platitude?

i don't care what you think of it, just pointing out that unless people are specifically citing the first amendment to the US bill of rights they're probably not confused and are instead talking about a different thing when they say they think private platforms should not restrict communication

twitter and facebook would otherwise be banned in those countries. clearly the multinational's role in global capitalism is the root of the evil.

I'd place a wager that the same person who thinks private platforms should not restrict communication would probably get a bit miffed if someone painted some graffiti on their property [spoilers]unless it's banksy because that might be worth money[/spoiler]

German authorities, meanwhile, have reached a deal with Facebook, Google and Twitter to get tougher on offensive content, with the outlets agreeing to apply domestic laws, rather than their own corporate policies, to reviews of posts.

In the end, no matter how much I think free speech is good and cool, I have to ask myself, "Is defending a conservative troll who got banned from lovely social media for comparing a black woman to a monkey the hill I want to die upon?"

i dont know anything about this milo guy outside the fact that i see him worshipped by 4channers and always prefix "BASED" before his name so that's a big strike.
