Your reading comprehension sucks a$$.

You remind me of one of the liberal talking heads they drag onto Fox News to throw out straw man arguments.

I said reddit censoring Qanon talk was not a 1st amendment issue because it is a private business not the governement....just like freerepublic.

I also said Qanon was a joke.

Do not put words in my mouth.

Also....Qanon is a joke. I would rather deal.qith realities than some anonymous clown who is the equivalent of a person throwing chicken bones in a pot then twlli g me what my fortune is.....but supposedly smart people believe the half phrases and little groups of words he/she/they post is some secret code that reveals the future and explains the past.

I don't give a crap about "Qanon". I've never paid much attention to it. "Qanon" isn't the point. "Alex Jones" isn't the point. "Prager U" isn't the point. "Robert Spencer" isn't the point.

The point is that this is a power these people should not have, and so far as *I* am concerned, if you have a million or above audience, you should not be allowed to censor any of them beyond what the law requires. (illegal content.)

I don't care if you think the first amendment only applies to governments. Had you read any of the Federalist papers and such, and had you any familiarity with crimes like "Lese Majeste", and such, you would understand that the founders only mentioned government because they never conceived that "private" corporations would be so large that they could effectively censor people.

To the founders, only a government could do such a thing.

Their intent was that people be not censored, and I believe it is an absolutely necessary component of our system of governance that we do not tolerate censorship no matter how it is accomplished or by whom.

If you think otherwise, than you either haven't carefully considered the consequences of what you believe, or you're an idiot.

Nowadays these mega-corporations are working hand in glove with the Deep State socialists imbedded into our system. The loop hole of "private" censorship is big enough to drive a tyranny through it.

"Private" is just a puppet for "Government". Figure it out.
