Not a damn thing can or should be done about it. They have the same right to control what goes on their site as Jim does on this one.

Does Jim have a budget the size of Brazil and a membership larger than Christianity? Can Jim shut down businesses and turn off congressional campaigns with lines of code? Does John Robinson collude with the largest tech companies on earth to ruin some small potatoes conspiracy guy?

Is Free Republic the size of all the railroads, banks and tech companies that have fallen under anti-trust?

These are rhetorical questions, so thanks for not answering.

So, when the tech companies are able to remove a person’s ability to function in society, such as closing off access to their bank accounts and everything,.., not a thing should be done about it?

This is a form of totalitarianism and the Constitution was always against all forms of totalitarianism, including an individuals. That’s why the Second amendment wasn’t specific about whom might form that dictatorship.

No! Vehemently disagree. Allowing major communications companies to censor speech is a threat to all of our freedoms.

I don't care if they own the equipment. When they control a major portion of public communications, the public is a participant and should exert some collective control over what should be allowed and what should be forbidden.

The greatest threat we have been facing for decades is that sewer of propaganda from the Democrat/Media system mostly located in New York. They have been manipulating elections by manipulating public opinion through their control of the "news."

They don't report things damaging to the Democrats (Like the horrible disaster socialism in Venezuela is creating) and they focus on things damaging to Republicans.

The public has a right to hear representative opinions and positions from the entire nation, not just the well connected upper "elite" in New York and Washington DC.

>> Not a damn thing can or should be done about it.

But not to the exclusion of activism.
