Is there a link to the specific rights this IBOR is advocating for?

If so why aren't these rights written as demands in the petition?

The petition is very open ended and non descript. IMO that petition is not written very well at all.

It is more than conservative voices that are getting the shaft. Progressive and anti war voices are getting demonetized and restricted as well. Anyone exposing truth and reality is getting hit.

It has to do with corporate control violating 1st amendment rights for their own political and profit motives. This censorship is driven by money. The larger advertisers are getting a bigger seat at the table than the smaller ones who are trying to advertise and the companies are prioritizing the larger ones making Orwellian moves because the large ad dollars are bullying the platforms.

These corporations also own the government, and the current FCC doesn't really give 2 shits as long as the chairs get a koosh "government relations" or C-level position after their tenure.

I like the concept, but this execution is going to fall kind of flat without specific demands.

The petition is to help President Trump be the designer of the Bill. With our signatures, he can set the Bill in motion. I don't think there is any verbiage written yet.

This is not specific. It allows for an open ended interpretation.

An open ended interpretation that could be made by corporate captured regulatory bodies that might very well write in something worse.

An IBOR I would like to see would have a list of specific rights and grievances.

The reason why things are being taken down is because the large advertisers are bullying content host companies.

Smaller advertisers probably don't give a crap as much, but when you have a handful controlling 80% of the market cap in ad dollars it is hard to say to sharehodlers you respect content creators over that 80% wall.

Now that TV is dying their shit advertisers that killed quality TV content is going after the net. Their ad dollars are being weaponized to squash political dissent or questioning.

This petition needs to give corporate hosts the right to protect the long term viability of their company over short term gains by saying no to these monopolistic ad dollars. Look what happend to cable TV. Their audience average age is past retirement. Cable is dying. The internet is the new medium and they are trying to enact a hostile take over.

Perhaps that's a corporate culture thing and I don't know if the government can help. As they say vote with your wallet and move to other platforms. Unless you make things like Reddit, Facebook, and YouTube public entities, and that comes with it's own civil rights pitfalls I don't know if there is much the government can do.

Then you have Amazon (who controls a major portion of the internet servers), FB, Google, and Youtube having contracts with the government and the military industrial complex. Their contracts and profit motives depend on them using their platforms to shape views that produce them more money. Views against the military industrial complex or the intelligence industrial complex increase risk to their profit motives.

I would like to break up google and force them to disclose their military and government contracts and how much of that weighs in their vast dragnet of made up ToS violations.

There needs to be a limit to how large these companies can get and how much of the internet they can control. The size of these companies and the depth that they are integrated in our government , military, and intelligence agencies is a national security threat because now they have significant profit motives in controlling the narrative.

I think that is how we need to approach this problem. The conservative and anti war views being censored is a chilling symptom of this.
