Can you guys at least once and a while try to get into a conversation more substantial than NAA NAA trump NAA NAA trump. You know the acting like an adult thing.
Never mind, forget I had such stupid idea. What was I thinking?
But also everyone should know that if you say the wrong thing you might disappear in the middle of the night.
ACLU attorney Vera Eidelman said Facebook, as a private company, can enforce their terms however it sees fit, but that could result in serious free speech consequences.
Fuck you bob. Just becasue you can't relate to my fear of a future fascist America, that's no reason to be even more of a prick than usual.
That’s different from the leftist democrats?
Partisanship can be ugly but let’s not pretend it’s only one side who engages in it. I remember Obama’s “Republicans sit in the back of the bus” comments.
So Twitter can deny service to a conservative.
But a cake shop has to provide service to a gay wedding?
When a cake shop refuses to serve gay couples, it prevents the gay couple from being served by another shop because the cake shop crowds out other shops. If there are several cake shops in a small town and they all refuse to serve gay couples, it's not possible for another cake shop to open to serve gay couples because the market is already saturated. That's why having a business license for a bakery means you can't refuse service to protected groups, gay, black, or whatever.

I follow the preceding paragraph but not this one, seems contradictory in that a Monopolistic Website with International Coverage is being compared to a multitude of geographically limited physical outlets.
Even relatively small cities of 100,000 people have several Bakeries. I find it hard to believe out of 4-5 bakeries that all 5 would refuse a gay wedding cake.
In this situation, I believe t...
In Silicon Valley, its more like, "you might disappear at work after being called into HR to discuss 'cultural sensitivity problems'"
What’s the value in Free Speech if the only thing you use it for is to create noise?
That doesn't mean the only thing I can post is trump sucks nyaa nyaa. on every thread
The only difference is that religion, race, gender, and sexual orientation are protected classes because of the historic oppression of these classes whereas political orientation is not currently a protected class. Personally, I think political orientation needs to be a protected class given how divisive it has become.

remove all discrimination laws. We'd be better off. Just protect free speech.
Again. Fuck you bob.
What discrimination laws do you think are forcing facebook to drop infowars?
None. They are actively suppressing free speech though and should be regulated. Or if you think they shouldn't be regulated then neither shouldn't the restaurant/bakery/club owner only catering to men, women, blacks, whites, Jews, Christians, gays, straights etc. Don't be a hypocrite, can't have it both ways.

I don’t like the idea of a big bloated centralized government overreaching into the private sector with onerous regulations. Government = Failure

The bakery won their case.
You can't have it both ways.
