Court blocks equality law.

Ouch, look what texas calls "equality". Forcing companies to carry your extremist, racist, sexist, or terroristic view points is not "equality" its compelling speech.

Where are all the free speech warriors..? Weird how the GOP wants to force companies like FB, twitter, and instagram to carry their message but they didnt include companies like parlor and gab. Those companies would be allowed to moderate user content, but not the bigger ones they NEED to spread their message on.

So glad a judge blocked it. Its basically saying that companies have no right to moderate content by users, especially if its hateful or recruiting for a jan 6th style attack on the USA.

Ya, the problem with moderation is that it is 100% completely necessary on any medium that has online communication

I remember hearing about Trump talking about his new social media platform and him touting that it will involve 100% free speech. I don’t know what ended up happening with that but it’s like “100% free speech huh? So what happens when thousands of trolls come in and start spamming ‘FUCK TRUMP’ thousands of times? Or the N word? Or any other pointless obscenities”. Anyone who thinks they can have a platform with unmoderated speech that WON’T turn into a haven for trolls and filth is just naive

But moderation cannot be impartial. It just can’t. It’s being done by humans, or it’s being done by algorithms programmed by humans, and humans are biased. So moderation will always be unfair to some group or another

Damn, people have to just accept that getting vaccinated is the only way that I will be safe. I hope that the feds can overturn this and make sure that they do the vaccine mandates that we need.

I dont know why gravy is so happy that people can dodge the jab.

laws wont fix whats wrong with us

laws are often not enforced

relying on law enforcement too much or the federal government too much creates a systemic problem and exacerbates racism and sexism and religious fanaticism. It removes the individuals ability to solve these problems on their own.

some companies don't have that right

for example the cable company

the phone company

verizon doesn't have the right to moderate your content

so some do and some don't, and when there are disagreements we use the courts to sort it out

like it happened

it shouldn't be news that politicians carve out exemptions for their favorite constituency, this sort of corruption is endemic to all political parties

I cant believe all this anti vax hooey. Shame on OP.

Accept the mandates. Take the jab.

I doubt they ever meant it to take effect, just jerking off the base with nonsense about fairness. :p

Gravypoop,

Go learn what Section 230 is and how it is abused by social media companies.

Beyond what is legally required to be removed such as threats of violence, planning terrorist acts, snuff videos, child porn, etc.

Any further moderation or editorializing of content is beyond the scope a "platform"

You either DO NOT editorialize and you have Section 230 protection

OR

You DO editorialize and you are responsible for ALL content on your platform.

Social media has wanted it both ways. This will come to an end, maybe when (R) take the house in 2022.

• Do you know what Section 230 is?
• Have you read the law?
• Do you know what content is and what content isn't legally required of platforms to remove?

Jeez, another ignorant lib.

All I know is if you want a job, you better get the jab.

I hope the feds can overturn whatever antivax shenanigan's in OP's link I didnt click on this court pulled, this is absurd.

Nationalizing Twitter to own the Left. :cool:
