it loving stuns me every time people trot out the free speech slippery slope horseshit all the while not realizing that the constitution keeps you from facing criminal charges for saying poo poo the government could not possibly give less of a gently caress what a corporation lets you say or not say lol

donny t is not the government donny t is involved in the whole nfl players kneeling thing but let's not tacitly give the authoritarian jizzrag the I AM THE STATE power he so desperately craves. if the nfl responded to him with  he could do nothing but whine on twitter about it, no actual government apparatus is going to help him by punishing the NFL. he can't just go "BAN THEM FROM THE TV SCREENS" and it happens.the other poo poo is exactly why the other platforms wanted to get rid of jones though. you pay for these 'free' platforms with your data and jones's data was so actively toxic and awful that he was hurting their bottom line by existing in their digital universe twitter won't ban jones though because jones is newsworthy and that's what twitter cares about being. they want people to go to twitter for their news updates instead of fox, cnn, msnbc, etc. you ban jones and that's a bunch of self-minted headlines you suddenly don't get. so basically they won't ban him because he is exactly the sort of memetic brain dead fuckwit they want lol

VikingSkull posted:I claim that in the 21st century, social media platforms constitute the village square, due to monopolistic practices by the corporations involved, and we are in dire need of a judicial ruling on the validity of such a structure. lol i had someone putting forward this idea in my discord last night. i pointed out that if you want to equate it to the constitutional concept of the town square, every citizen has an equal right to it and the entire current practice of algorithms, subscriptions, and etc are unconstitutional because they provide inherently unequal access. the only way that the government has been able to restrict this right is demonstration permits so commerce isn't affected, and that doesn't apply to these dedicated platforms online. there's no disruption possible, really. so as a result you just blast out all content, to everyone, all the time, ever, with no sorting, no filtering, and no way to stop beyond simply avoiding the town square (or not visiting the website). long story short he stumbled around trying to mentally backflip over this for about half an hour before parting the server Coolguye fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Aug 10, 2018 |
