Oh, so we should seize the means of communication huh? Socialize it into the public domain? Make sure that Big Daddy Government protects our rights against evil private companies? Or what are you trying to say here? Either private companies and persons can conduct their business freely or they can't. Just because you don't like it doesn't means that it's not Constitutional.

Is there anyone saying you can't speak to the public? No. But you have to do it according to the terms of that private company. Trump for instance seems to think he's been muzzled. Oddly though, he hasn't seemed to give press conferences, video addresses, radio addresses, or any other types of addresses to us recently. So the one person that has a built in way of communicating either has nothing to say or wants to be a petulant child because he can't have it his way when a private company, who can do as they wish under current law, banned him.
LMAO
SMFH At this BS

I was responding to the prohibition on using foul language on OSA. You can still express an opinion but must not use foul language.

That is correct. You can have whatever opinion you want, and it may not agree with the majority, but you can still have it and express it. It's been validated in the courts again and again. The part about obscenity is a function of the rules of this privately owned forum.

You can even say you want to see Beto become the Gun Control Czar, and that we should just turn our guns and ammo and those evil weapons and hi-cap magazines in. You just have to follow the rules as to which words you use.

WooHoo! We agree on something! Politicans may sell their souls, but they're bringing us closer on something. We've got common ground now.

As far as whether the Ayatollah can post threats or not --- some finer points on that which we'll never agree on would get into a whole sidebar about global politics and a few decades of US/Iran history, but long story short, no, that's probably not a good one to have up. Again, you should complain about it to Twitter if it bothers you.

It’s obvious you don’t get it.
Conservatives are being taken down from big tech for expressing a political opinion that “violates community standards”.
Yet the ayatollah is allowed to say death to America. (Just one example of many similar)
That’s not a violation of community standards? Possibly that is acceptable in the tweeter world of liberal socialism while opposing opinions are not from conservatives?

IMO I think it's pretty pathetic that Parler just suddenly became a "problem" and many other companies above and beyond AWS are dumping them and potentially going to put an end to another company that just so happens to be a "competitor" to Twitter and/or Facebook. I get your point, but it's just all fishy . . . I mean none of us (I don't think) support breaking into the Capitol or harming politicians no matter how much we disagree with them.

I never heard or read . . . what part of the TOS Amazon said Parler broke though.
From what I've heard, they are required to give 30 days notice before booting someone off their servers. They didn't even give 30 hours.

But twitter has and does go on big isis/isil bans, etc. https://fortune.com/2018/04/05/twitter-terrorist-account-suspensions/

Some of it is our optics are a bit skewed, we ALL (left, right, center, male, female, old, young...) suffer from confirmation bias, anchor bias, truthiness, straw man arguments, ad hominen and multiple other biases and logical fallacies. I try to confront mine, and know I fail at times. I don't expect anyone to agree with my opinions. I change them often based on new information. It's a big reason why I ask for examples all the time. It is so I can try to evaluate them independently and attempt to evaluate my own biases and logical fallacies.

Again, twitter went on a large ban of the left in 2018 during the occupy wall street protests, as I've posted more than once. No one I've followed has ever been banned. So the rest, I have to go research.

It would be nice if people could at least agree on the truth, there is only one, and disagree on our opinions. But, that seems to be more impossible with each passing day.

Glad to see Twitter stock plummet after canceling Trump. Think the only way is for someone to lay out the cash and create their own server’s. Or maybe go thru the dark web. Not an internet expert here, so prob wrong, again....

Twitter stock always plummets after bans. Happened after they found and banned bots, banned left accounts, terrorist accounts. This isn't something new. I'd hope you go verify.

Amazon Web Services is again maneuvering to try to get the contract for run the Pentagon's internet services......Is this something the nation's security can tolerate?....bad enough that Microsoft has the contract.
Private enterprise monopolies are entirely too large, powerful and melded with critical government functions.
Amazon Web Services is taking another run at getting the court to set aside the Pentagon’s 10-year, $10 billion Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure cloud contract award to Microsoft.

According to an updated lawsuit filed in the Court of Federal Claims, AWS’ revised proposal – a corrective action that took place while the case was on remand — was tens of millions of dollars less than what Microsoft offered. Additionally, AWS claims the Defense Department’s choice reflects the long-standing animus of President Donald Trump toward Jeff Bezos, founder of AWS parent company Amazon.

“[T]hese errors did not occur in a vacuum,” the lawsuit states. “Instead they can be best explained as the latest manifestation of President Trump’s determination to steer the JEDI contract away from AWS.”

The revised complaint is dated Oct. 23 and was released with redactions on Dec. 15. DOD publicly announced the re-award to Microsoft on Sept. 4. The contract was originally awarded to Microsoft in October, 2019. The request for proposals was released in the summer of 2018 and the structure of the single-award enterprise cloud contract was developed the year before that

I will type slow for you since you failed at unpacking.

Amazon, Google and Apple are restricting speech. Not about their legal right to do such as much as ... and I am typing slow for you ... they are still censoring speech. Should they be censoring legal speech?

Your second paragraph essentially said nothing in 117 words. I am guessing from your other posts where you try so hard to sound smarter than you really are that this is not a record for you.

“ ... that’s a fancy way to say Antifa. They are anti-fascist. It’ right in their name”. You need to put down your liberal coloring books and try to do some honest research. Antifa utilizes fascist tactics to limit speech. That does not make them “anti-fascist” (genius).

“Real question .... did you watch the presidential debates?” Are you trying to virtue signal, make a puerile political point or simply denigrate yourself with this comment comparing Trump’s communication style to the violent tactics of the _____ (fill in the blank) knobs in antifa?

Baker analogy ... reread my post. Move your lips if it helps with the comprehension.
Me n you will get along good lol

I'd bet that the pentagon has far better lawyers and leverage than parlor in negotiating terms for use.

But if you're worried about the size of these monopolies, there are existing laws you can advocate get used to break them up.
