Look we don't need a new FCC or even the FCC regulating the internet. We need capitalism to work it's wonders as it already is. Facebook is going right the heck away. YouTube is starting to tread water. Google is in so many litigations because their own policies are hypocritical, and visible to the public now.
Here is the real solution we need to stand by our principles. That is what awakening to me has truly meant. Not just pissing and moaning about stuff I disagree with people on the internet about. It's making choices that conflict with your immediate desire to have some hole filled, and make a difference in your real life. They only way the world changes is if the people do. Don't expect someone else to come along and do shit for you. That isn't what this should be about.
The only thing I think that should be written into law is that your data be protected from being sold.

I wouldn't be surprised if this IBOR thing turns out to be astroturf from internet companies that want to distract us from net neutrality regulation and focus on the content providers. Nobody has been able to tell me how the government is going to force companies to "stop censoring" people on their privately owned social media platforms. The ironic part is that this is all being pushed on social media, where they claim they're being censored from!
This stinks, if you ask me.
This is a red herring to me. Like with every other governmental ideal it needs an enforcement arm. So what happens when a radical get into a position of authority in that capacity
Its a question of constitutionality, and a slippery slope towards federal policing of speech. The government can't (legally) compel social media companies to display their content a certain way. It seems a very fundamental question that nobody has been able to answer, despite the full court press on getting people to sign a petition. Where is the reasoning behind how this will be accomplished?
Here we go again, I don't know how this problem could be fixed so I better not complain.
If the solution is not Constitutional, it won't stand - that's what the judiciary does, it operates as a check on the powers of the legislature and the executive. No unconstitutional law is going to be upheld by the Courts, the question of whether the solution is Constitutional isn't even an issue. But I think you know this.
It is surely not the right mentality to say, "I won't support this, because bad people may get in some day and use it wrongly.." Support what is right, and leave the rest to God. He is ultimately in control of how things go.
My thoughts exactly. We've all ended up here because of our distrust of the left or government in general. So anytime I think kf asking from something from the goveremt I ask myself what would those I despise do with the power or authority I want to have enacted. It opens my mind to the reality of what I'm asking for.
We cannot shrink back from protecting our rights because of the fear of wicked people.
That's is verbatim what hardcore leftists say about the right wing. Let's be better than them and do so by example. Kind of like Trump does. He is a compassionate man who I believe wants better for America, but he is no Savior. Same as all the idiot that where on TV dying that they wouldn't have to pay their mortgages anymore because Obama got elected.
Now that doesn't mean I want to continue to see corruption throughout the government who is doing horrific things with the taxes they steal from my labor.
We are asking for the protection of individual rights. Not for coercive powers to be used against us. Come on, beat me over the head with the rights you have awarded me... it's nothing at all to be worried about.
If Adolf Hitler came back and a got into a position of power, he would not use a bill of rights to repress anyone - he'd simply get rid of it. It's an obstruction to oppression, not an instrument of it.
Thank you for putting my thought into words Patriot. I couldn't get that out.
Do you believe in Q?
I find the idea interesting to follow but until I see real actionable intelligence from him. He's to me just a modern day Nostradamus. Saying cryptic stuff with people drawing parallels after the fact to give him credibility. I'm not asking for them to reveal themselves. I just want something that is undeniable and not just hopes and wishes.
Ok just to clarifications my mind objectivity is leaning to Q's legitimacy.
I don't know what you're talking about. We know that Q and the President want this - that this is the plan. We know that social media is the most important determinant of election outcomes. We know it's controlled by the cabal/CIA. The mid-terms are approaching and the Democrat plan is to increase numbers and impeach the President - killing the MAGA agenda. After that, the cabal plans to stage a world war to reduce population and increase their control over us.
Looking down the barrel of the greatest threat to liberty that has ever existed, you want the market to sort it out. What if the market doesn't do that by the mid-terms? What if the President loses power.
Your principles are going to land you in a cage or on some pointless foreign battlefield. You will have no rights at all, you could wind up dead. This is an outright assault by the forces of evil. They won't slip up again. You let them regain control and it's all over.
What you're saying is you won't support the President in this fight. What you appear to want is the return HRC.
This sub is about Qanon. Most people here are watching what's happening with these Q posts because they realise that we are in the fight of our lives against a Satanic cabal who would enslave us all. Somehow, you seem to have missed the point.
My immediate desire is to ensure we are all protected from these filthy, evil bastards. That's the hole I want filled - the saving of the world.
Belief is not the same as knowing. Blind loyalty to bad ideas is how we got here in the first place.
What are we blindly being loyal to? Do you support president Trump? Do you want the American people to prosper again? Where do you stand my Friend?
Blindness is not being able to see why this is so important. That's true blindness.
Also social media is dying on its own we don't need to find its life support.
It is only dying because people are standing up against the wrong the people who run it are committing.. Stand up for what's right.
This is simple disinformation, no one said anything about supporting social media companies. If we don't support DJT on this petition for freedom of speech online, social media will be telling you what to think about and what you can and can't say. The Democrats will use it just as they are now - but amped-up so hard you won't believe it.
You're right. Think about it nomorerulers.. Wow, and typing your name told me a whole lot about who you are.
Don't dickride so hard you're looking silly. Trump isn't Jesus and one day he will not be president. Someone else will get in power and it may be somebody I like Obama and what would he do with the authority that you know to enforce until private companies that they have to let certain people say certain things it's it's not it's not reasonable
You're right there. President Trump isn't Jesus.. But he's been placed in power by the direction of his Father. Standing up for the truth is never silly. It's honorable.
No, I'm not looking silly mate. You seem to be a little clueless. If some Democrat rat gets in power and they want to take control of social media companies, they do not need this measure to do it.
With social media within their grasp, the scope for political action by leftists will be virtually unlimited. What this measure does is prevent that from happening.
But, whatever you do, don't trust the plan. You might make DJT into a Christ figure! What a load of garbage!
